Abstract

This article examines the issues of forming a network of factory parishes of the Barnaul ecclesiastical government as well as their size (analyzes the dynamics of the households number). The author refers to confession lists and clerical records for 1750-1829. It is concluded that the network of factory parishes in the region was formed in the 1750s-60s. In the 1750s small, medium and large church units are recorded as part of factory parishes. By the end of the period under study (1829), only one parish corresponded to the norm (triple), the rest exceeded it. During the period under study, the size of the factory parishes of the Barnaul Spiritual Board changes (mainly upwards), and their boundaries also change. The active migration to the region territory as well as the active activity of the authorities for the development of industry in Altai determined the increased size of parish communities. The rate of population growth outpaced the church construction pace, which determined the "lag" of legislation in regulating the size of parishes.
