François-Xavier Coquin, Philosophy of the monarchie function in Russia in the XVIth century.
In less than one century, during the period going from the death of Ivan III (1505) to that of Ivan IV (1584), the Great Prince of Moscow from a vassal of the Golden Hord changes into a sovereign by divine right, tsar, and autocrat of the whole of Russia, whereas his capital takes over from Byzantium and is acknowledged as the Third and last Rome. Such a metamorphosis could not be explained without the patient effort of theoretical thought which was the task of the clerks of the XVIth century striving to define and justify by a doctrine the prerogatives of the " new Constantin. " It is this construction of an original theocratic absolutism, inherited from Byzantium and from the Russian national past, that the present study outlines in its various stages. Quotations from the most significant texts allow to clearly visualize this legal, political and religious revolution which culminated in the correspondence of Ivan IV and Prince Kurbskij and which expresses this " new Russian orthodox autocracy, " the ultimate destiny of which is known to all.
