| Summary: | The representatives of the Evangelical Lutheran appeared in Russia in the times of the Ivan the Terrible. Since the times of Peter the Great, the Lutheran branch of Christianity actively manifested itself in the life of Russia. The Lutheran tradition of the Mattern family was not only exemplary from a religious point of view, but also prominently participated in the financial, legal, charitable, cultural life of our country. From the end of XIX century to the end of the first third of
the XX century, one of the Matterns, Emil Emilievich, was known as a prominent translator and
director of various plays of European classics, which have been successfully staged in theatres of both Russia and the USSR. One of Matterns was a member of the church council in a Lutheran parish of the St. Peter and Paul in Moscow that continue its activities nowadays. The daily history is a personal but important element of the analysis of the westerm culture and ethics on Russian ground
in the past and in present time. |
