Césare G. de Michelis, The Antichrist in Russian culture and the Protestant idea of "Pope-Antichrist" .
Until recent times (for instance in Bukharin's and in Zamiatin's writtings) we can recognize in Russian cultural tradition a number of characteristics that identify the Enemy with the image of the Pope. Naturally, it is possible to go "anticlockwise" along the road of diffusion of this ideological and symbolic form (Lunacharskii, Merezhkovskii, Solov'ev, Dostoevskii, etc.) but it is better to study the history of this idea starting from its origin, in the sixteenth century. In 1582, British merchants presented the tsar Ivan IV with a pamphlet of the Reformed Church on the subject of "Pope-Antichrist" and at the same time, the Orthodox Ruthenians of the Polish Rzeczpospolita adopted this idea for the first time in polemics against the Catholic Church. The two traditions - Muscovite and Ruthenian - produced a common Russian version of the "Pope-antichrist" which, after the reforms of Patriarch Nikon, in the middle of the seventeenth century was taken up again by Old Believers. It was later on applied to Peter the Great. Since the eighteenth century the Russian image of Antichrist has therefore comprised an anti-Papist component of evident Protestant origin that has been preserved till our time.
