The book of Professor Elena Smilyanskaya was written on a unique material, which is based on almost 600 judicial investigative cases, initiated in Russia in 1700-1801 on witchcraft, blasphemy, blasphemy and religious freedom. There are magical practices combined with faith in salvation in Christ, and "extravagant magic", and "noble with demons", and Vorozhba, and healing, and love potions, and frank blasphemy, and the reproach of the shrines, and the “indecent" compound, compound, compound, And the heretical searches of the Russian freethinkers. Discovered in the funds of the Synod, Preobrazhensky and detective orders, a secret office and a secret expedition, as well as in a number of regional archives, these affairs throw a very unexpected reflection on the 18th century, when everything that did not correspond to the highest understanding of the rational faith was called "superstition" , "fanaticism" and "enthusiasm".
