Српско-руски црквени односи у радовима протојереја-ставрофора Стевана М. Димитријевића (У спомен на првог декана Православног богословског факултета у Београду)
Serbian-Russian Church Relationships in Works of Protopresbyter-Stavrophor Stevan M. Dimitrijevich (In memory of the first dean of The Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Belgrade)

Summary/Abstract: Protopresbyter-Stavrophor Stevan M. Dimitrijevich was the first Serbian scholar who systematically examined Serbian-Russian Church connections throughout the History. He began research in this field during his studies on The Spiritual Academy in Kiev in the last decade of the nineteenth century. He examined in details materials related to the Serbian Church History in the Archives of The Russian Royal Office of External Affairs in Moscow and The Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church in Saint Petersburg. Dimitrijevich wrote one of the best Serbian candidate dissertations on Russian spiritual academies in 1898. It was related to diplomatic missions of the representatives from the Serbian Orthodox Church to Russia from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. Stevan Dimitrijevich continued his work in the same field upon his return to the homeland. He published an article about Serbian-Russian Church relationships in the seventeenth century in the scientific journal of the Serbian Royal Academy in 1900 and 1901. That article caught the attention of the key representatives of the Serbian Church historiography of that time. Among them were Archimandrite Ilarion (Ruvarac), Archimandrite Nicephor (Ducich), and Milutin Jaksich. Dimitrijevich published the Russian archive materials about the Serbian Orthodox Church in publications of the Serbian Royal Academy during the years and decades to follow. These archive materials are still an unavoidable source for any serious research in the field of Serbian-Russian Church relations. Stevan M. Dimitrijevich concluded his work with the synthetic study about Serbian-Russian Church relations from the twelfth until the twentieth century. It was published in The Calendar of the Serbian Orthodox Church for the Year of 1948. Stevan M. Dimitrijevich‘s legacy placed him among the best experts on Serbian-Russian Church relations, as well as spiritual and cultural connections.
