Abstract: The capital monograph by A.L. Beglov provides an exhaustive analysis of institutional development, discourse about the parish question, and various attempts and proposals to reform the Russian Orthodox parish. With this macrohistory of the parish available, researchers can now proceed to conduct microhistorical studies to study the parish question not from above but “from below,” thereby making is possible not only to understand dynamics at the local level but also to give agency to miriane and recognize their response to the “parish question.” This article addresses the problem of sources and suggests the range of archival and printed sources for this new stage of parish microhistory.
