The Masonic trend in Russia

The Masonic movement came to the Russian Empire somewhat later than it originated in France - in the mid-18th century. According to some legends, one of the founders of this movement in our country was Emperor Peter I, but there is no actual confirmation of such theories. Initially, the influence of the Masons in the Russian land was carried out mainly by foreign members of society: diplomats, politicians who served in Russia. But already in the fifties of the 18th century the first "Russian" lodge appeared under the leadership of Count Roman Vorontsov.

Initially a secret society for members of the upper classes, it quickly spread its influence even to members of the ruling family. It is known that Emperors Peter III and Alexander I were in close contact with the Masons, and were among the members of the movement. Although initially the motives of Freemasonry seem peaceful enough (they preached morality, the principles of fraternal friendship and love), later many members of the society used their position to influence state processes.

Alexander I forbade activity of the "secret society" in the Russian Empire, which was not accidental, since all his entourage (advisers and people, who made decisions about the destiny of the state) were Freemasons. In 1822, 11 years after construction of the Kazan Cathedral, the emperor issued his decree, prohibiting work of secret societies in the country.
