Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of critical perception of religious and philosophical views of L.N. Tolstoy by Orthodox Church. The analysis is focused on a critical speech by A.F. Gusev, professor of Kazan Theological Academy, dedicated to Tolstoy’s attitude towards church rituals. It is considered how the critic understands and estimates the teaching of Tolstoy, which found expression in his religious and philosophical works, particularly in “A Confession” (“Ispoved”). A conclusion is made that Gusev in his polemics with Tolstoy uses a logically well-knit system of arguments. He refers to the Gospel, historical examples, scientific and court practice data. Thus, his attempt to discuss the problem of Orthodox cult and church ritualism should be recognized as successful.
