Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article is dedicated to the historical examination of the Koskovsky farm-skete associated with the Moscow Passionist Maiden Convent, located in the Putilovskaya volost of the Sergievsky uyezd in Moscow province. The reconstruction of its history is based on archival documents sourced from the Central State Archive of Mos-cow, the Central State Archive of the Moscow Region, and the State Archive of the Russian Federation. All ar-chival documents on the history of the Koskovsky farm-skete presented in the article are introduced into scien-tific circulation for the first time. In general, the article is the first attempt to recreate the history of the Koskovsky farm-skete, where in the XX century some nuns of the closed monastery lived before the start of mass repres-sions. Thus, the author supplements the church history of the Moscow region with information about an im-portant and forgotten object, the existence of which is not mentioned in any of the currently known reference books on monasteries.
