Annotation

The article examines the chain of incidents and causes preceding the seizure of all valuables available in the temples of the Russian Orthodox Church for the needs of the starving in the Volga region. From national events, the author turns the reader’s attention to local events taking place in the Kostroma hinterland. To understand the scale of the wealth collected over the centuries in the Orthodox Russian peripheral «poor» churches, the weight of values for comparison has been transferred from the ancient to the modern metric system of measures.
