The article focuses on the activities of the Ss Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood, founded by Countess A.D. Bludova in 1865 in Ostroh. It existed until its extermination in 1933 by the Soviet authorities. On the one hand, this brotherhood was quite typical among other Orthodox brotherhoods of the 1860s, widely engaged into education, charity and arranging the church life. On the other hand, it was an example of the fellowship of people united by the Orthodox faith and selflessly devoted to serving the Russian Orthodox Church.
Keywords: Orthodox church brotherhood, Ss. Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood in Ostroh, Countess A. D. Bludova, Count Bludov’s school for girls.
