The paper, using archival sources and media materi-als, examines the participation of the Far Eastern eparchies of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate in the socio-cultural life of the Far East in the 1990s. The main forms of education of representatives of diocesan structures and indi-vidual clergy among the population of the region are noted. The effectiveness of different approaches to the organization of cultural and scientific events organized by the secular authorities together repre-sentatives of Orthodoxy is analyzed. The authors come to the conclusion that the peculiarity of the revitalization of religion in the Far East in the 1990s was the demand of the population in gaining new knowledge about the history of the region, the his-tory of Christianity and the ROC MP. Moreover, it was as the desire of Far Eastern eparchies to organ-ize educational activities, expand their sphere of influence, using a variety of forms of work.
