In program
When did Freemasons appear in Russia? It turns out that even under Peter I. The first proto-Masonic organization was called the Navigation School — from the Sukharev Tower in Moscow it moved to the Admiralty of St. Petersburg.
The flourishing of Russian Freemasonry is usually associated with Ekaterina Alekseevna. Yes, it is, but only before the French Revolution - then everything changed: the guillotine in Paris frightened her very much. And what happened under Paul I, which of the Masons did he return from exile, where did Catherine II send them away from sin?
The history of the Kazan Cathedral is closely connected with Freemasonry. Emperor Pavel, Count Alexander Stroganov and architect Andrei Voronikhin - these are three glorious Masons who built the Cathedral. Kutuzov himself, buried here, bore the Masonic pseudonym "Greening Laurel".
Alexander I was also a Mason. (At the same time, you will find out who Speransky was).
During the reign of Nicholas I, who froze any free ideas, hard times came for the Freemasons, and only under Alexander II (the Liberator) Freemasonry received an influx of air and strength.
