Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes Constantine Leontiev’s attitude towards Greek-Bulgarian Church controversy in the second half of the 19th century. His position is presented in the context of the Russian ecclesiastical policy and the broader historical and ideological context of the time. Leontiev took the side of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, which was a successor and custodian of the Byzantine cultural and religious tradition. His views on the Bulgarian ecclesiastical question were in confrontation with both the official Russian position and the public opinion, which supported the Bulgarians due to Slavophile sympathies.
