R. studied at the Novorossiysk Theological Seminary, where on April 20, 1795 he was initiated into a surplice to preach the word of God. At the end of the course here, R. entered the teacher of the informant class and the Law of God at the Novorossiysk Seminary, in 1798 he entered into marriage, on June 13 he was ordained a priest and, leaving the teaching service, on August 24 he was appointed a priest for the Novomirgorod Nativity of the Virgin churches.
A strict lifestyle and eloquent sermons drew the attention of the diocesan authorities to R., and he was instructed to teach newly appointed priests to deliver sermons under cathedral church.
For zeal and work in the execution of the assignments entrusted to him, R. in 1800 was elevated to the rank of archpriest and transferred to the city of Taganrog, where his sermons were forced to speak of him as a rare occurrence in the church pulpit. On June 19, 1803, at the request of the entire Black Sea army, R. was appointed by Afanasy, Archbishop of Yekaterinoslav, to the city of Yekaterinodar as the military archpriest of the Black Sea army, and, at the same time, the first present of the Yekaterinodar Spiritual Board.
Thanks to his outstanding mind, talent and extensive and, at that time, versatile knowledge, R. soon acquired great weight and importance among the Black Sea army and the population, which greatly helped him in his subsequent activities.
Concerned about the small number of priests in the region (only 10 people) and not being able to call suitable persons from Russia, where there were exaggerated rumors about the disastrous climate of the Black Sea, R., with the consent of the military authorities, chose from local residents capable and truly disposed to the spiritual rank people, he himself taught them everything necessary and then sent them to the Ekaterinoslav Bishop for ordination.
Since there were only four churches in the region (not counting the chapels), R. sometimes traveled around the region for two months "to beg for alms for the construction of churches." In the shortest possible time, R. pawned on the collected sums in many villages wooden churches, summoned masters from Russia and himself was in charge of the construction of churches.
For all the time of his service in the Black Sea region, he founded and built 27 churches.
For these merits, R. was awarded a velvet skufia and club.
R.'s further activities were almost entirely devoted to the cause of education in the Black Sea Territory, which had only one lower level before him. educational institution.
In fairness, R. is still called the "enlightener of the Black Sea region." On the initiative of R., the school that existed in Ekaterinodar was on December 14, 1806 transformed into the District School; for the construction of a building for him and for its maintenance, the Military Chancellery decided to release an annual allowance of 1,500 rubles.
Thanks to the efforts of R., appointed Superintendent of the School, it was filled with pupils in the shortest possible time; from Russia R. called good teachers, among whom he himself was an exemplary teacher of the law.
In 1809, his wife probably died, and her death had a strong effect on R.; at the request of the protopriest I. Gozdava-Bochkovsky, he agreed to give up his place to him, and he intended to go, "in his loneliness and widowhood", to the monastery; The Archbishop of Yekaterinoslav did not agree to this combination, to whom he received from St. Synod petition of Fr. Gozdavo-Bochkovsky, - and R. remained in the Black Sea region.
In 1811, at the request of R., the first class of the Gymnasium was formed in the County School, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the Gymnasium in Yekaterinodar, the opening of which was R.'s cherished dream. January 1812, Order of St. Anna 3rd degree.
To increase the influx of students to the County School and, at the same time, to prepare a contingent of students for the Gymnasium, R. set out to open parochial schools. Not counting on the help of the Military Office, R. again turned to charity; having printed and distributed the Highest Letter of 1806 to the Black Sea Army for donations to the educational business, he collected the amount of money sufficient to open three schools, which he opened in Temryuk, Shcherbinovka and Art. Bryukhovetskaya.
Overseers in these schools, R. chose people from wealthy and honorable residents, who, on the basis of the Charter, were supposed to take care of the external and internal welfare of the schools; he asked the Yekaterinoslav Archbishop for permission to teach in schools Latin and musical singing for children sacred - and clergymen, with the right to deduct a certain part of the mug collection for this at schools. Soon R. opened the fourth School - in Hryvnia.
Unexpectedly, in 1815, the Yekaterinoslav Archbishop forbade the use of church mug sums, demanding from R. a report on the expenditure of these sums; everything turned out to be correct, but the source of income dried up, due to which many teachers left their places. The time from 1815 to 1817 was the most difficult in the life of R. - the time of his struggle for the existence of schools. The school business was saved when in 1817 a philanthropist, the Kursk merchant S.V. Antimonov, appeared, who donated 6,500 rubles, thanks to which the existence of open schools was strengthened. Taking care of the enlightenment and education of the children of the clergy of the Black Sea region, R. opened in August 1818 the Spiritual Parish School and was its first caretaker.
In 1819 R. opened more schools in the villages of Riga, Temryuk, Medvedovskaya, Kushchevskaya, Leushkovskaya and Plastunovskaya. On December 1, 1819, the Highest permission was granted for the 45,000 rubles collected by R. to open a Gymnasium in Ekaterinodar; The very opening of the Gymnasium took place on May 17, 1820. The Highest appointed R. was appointed its first Director, in the absence of rules. Through his efforts, a library was formed at the Gymnasium, where books were received from the Military Chancellery, the Mezhigorsky Monastery and other places; R. did not spare money on her: all the best that came out then - textbooks and special scientific essays - everything was purchased in the library.
In addition to the sciences laid down by the Charter, which included the fine sciences, the foundations of political economy and commerce, and since 1821 and Greek language for those who wish;
R., in view of the special, as he said, the military nature of the population, reduced the teaching of military sciences: artillery and fortification; he also wanted to introduce the Turkish language to the course, but there was no suitable teacher for this.
In his activities, R. was completely deprived of the support of the Military Chancellery, and only Kharkov University, which was in charge of the school affairs of the Black Sea Territory, was the only accomplice and intercessor for R., repeatedly giving brilliant reviews about his activities.
For two years (1821 and 1822), R. was pursued by slander because he was engaged in bribery and embezzlement of public sums; the investigation completely cleared him of these charges.
Intense activity, in the absence of support, undermined R.'s strength; at the beginning of 1825 he fell ill and, no longer able to send his job responsibilities, asked the school committee of Kharkov University to resign; after many attempts to keep him, the Committee finally ordered R. to hand over the position in the form of one of the teachers; no matter how R. was in a hurry to complete the delivery of the deeds and property of the Gymnasium, the delivery was slow due to his illness, and without completing the delivery, on December 12, 1825, he died.
R. was known as a writer and contributor to the journals "Competitor of Education" and "Ukrainian Herald". He was a member of the Kharkov Society of Sciences, which considered him among its external members in the department of verbal sciences, the Imperial Humanitarian Society, an honorary member of the St. Petersburg Free Society of Amateurs Russian literature. “All these Societies, electing him as their members, hastened to express both his talents, and zeal for the sciences, and all generally useful intentions, high reverence and respect.” In 1815, R. compiled a manual entitled: “Short Rules of Russian Spelling” (twice published in Kharkov, dependent on the Black Sea troops of Lieutenant Colonel S. M. Dubonos); briefly, simply and clearly stated rules were drawn up so rationally that they could still serve usefully even now, at the same time they were a rare, if not the only phenomenon in Russia.
He also sometimes took up versification.
His speeches were published in 1818 (“Speech at a public meeting in the Yekaterinodar District School of 1816, July 30th. Kharkov) and in 1820 (“Speech at the opening of the Black Sea Gymnasium in Yekaterinodar, 1820, May 17th” t, St. Petersburg. and "Speech at a public meeting, at the end of a year's trial, in the Yekaterinodar School", Kharkov) years. R. was buried in the Ekaterinodar Resurrection Cathedral, according to left side altar.
No monument was erected over his ashes, but on his portrait, kept in the Yekaterinodar District School, R.'s own hand wrote the words that mark his whole life: "Alienis inserviendo consumor." In memory of R., a free city reading room is now open in Yekaterinodar.

Biography

Rossinsky was born on March 17, 1774 in Novomirgorod to a priest's family from Little Russia. He studied at the Novorossiysk Theological Seminary, where on April 20, 1795 he was consecrated into a surplice to preach the word of God. After graduating from the course, Rossinsky got a job as a teacher of the informator class and the Law of God at the Novorossiysk Seminary. In 1798 he married. Being ordained a priest on June 13, 1798 (before that, a deacon), he left the teaching service. Already on August 24 of the same year, Rossinsky was appointed a priest in the Novomirgorod Church of the Nativity of the Virgin. With his success in preaching, he attracted the attention of the diocesan authorities, in connection with which he was appointed to teach sermons to new priests at the cathedral church.

Church transformations

In 1800, Rossinsky was elevated to the rank of archpriest and transferred to Taganrog. On June 19, 1803, at the request of an honorary deputation from the entire Black Sea army, he was appointed by Afanasy  (Ivanov), Archbishop of Yekaterinoslav, to the city of Yekaterinodar as a military archpriest of the Black Sea army and at the same time the first present of the Yekaterinodar spiritual board. Versatile abilities and knowledge soon helped him gain weight among the Black Sea troops and the population. Due to the small number of priests in the region (only 10 people), Rossinsky, with the consent of the military authorities, personally selected from among the local residents and trained capable people, whom he then sent to the Ekaterinoslav Bishop for ordination. Within two years, the number of clergy increased significantly. He also summoned priests from the interior provinces. Also concerned about the small number of churches (of which there were only four, except for the chapels), he sometimes made trips around the region for two months to collect alms for the construction of temples. The collected sums allowed Rossinsky to quickly lay wooden churches in many villages, for the construction of which he summoned craftsmen from Russia. He also personally controlled the construction process and materials. The result of this was 27 churches built during his entire service in the Black Sea region. For this, Rossinsky was rewarded with a velvet skufia and a club.

The development of education in the Kuban

In the future, Rossinsky devoted almost all his time to the cause of education in the Black Sea Territory, which before him had only one lower educational institution. Subsequently, he was called the "enlightener of the Black Sea region." He again turned to collecting donations and in a short time managed to collect more than 10,000 rubles in banknotes. The first initiative in this direction was the transformation on December 14, 1806 of the school in Ekaterinodar into a district school; for the construction of a building for him and for its maintenance, the military office decided to release an annual allowance of 1,500 rubles. Having been appointed superintendent of the school, Rossinsky was quickly able to fill it with students and call good teachers from Russia (he himself remained among them a teacher of the law). He also supported at his own expense more than twelve children, school students, poor parents. Probably, the death of his wife dates back to 1809, which had a strong effect on him: Rossinsky was ready to leave his place and go to the monastery, but the Yekaterinoslav Archbishop did not give his consent. Thanks to his petition, in 1811 the first class of a gymnasium was formed in the district school, the opening of which was the dream of the archpriest. For his success in education, on January 19, 1812, Rossinsky was awarded the Order of St. Anna 3rd degree.

In order to increase the flow of students to the district school and prepare students for the gymnasium, he turned to the opening of parish schools. Not counting on the help of the military office, Rossinsky again turned to charity. So, the Highest Letter of 1806 was printed and distributed to the Black Sea Army for donations to the educational business, which allowed him to raise an amount of money sufficient to open three schools. The latter were opened in Temryuk, Shcherbinovka and the village of Bryukhovetskaya. As supervisors in these schools, he chose persons from wealthy and honorable residents, who, on the basis of the charter, were supposed to take care of the external and internal welfare of the schools. From the Archbishop of Yekaterinoslav, he received permission to teach Latin and music singing in schools for children of clergy and clergy, with the right to deduct a certain part of the mug collection for this. Soon Rossinsky opened the fourth school - in Hryvnia. Following the unexpected ban by the Archbishop of Yekaterinoslav in 1815 on the use of church mug sums, a demand was made for Rossinsky to give an account of the expenditure of funds. Everything came together, but the source of income dried up, because of which many teachers left their jobs. The time from 1815 to 1817 was the most difficult in Rossinsky's life - the time of his struggle for the existence of schools. The school business was saved when in 1817 a philanthropist, the Kursk merchant S. V. Antimonov, appeared, donating 6,500 rubles. Concerned, in turn, about the enlightenment and education of the children of the clergy of the Black Sea Territory, Rossinsky, having collected more than three thousand rubles in donations and taking from many people a promise to contribute further amounts, opened in August 1818 a parochial school in Yekaterinodar and became its first caretaker . In 1819, Rossinsky opened schools in the villages of Riga, Temryuk, Medvedovskaya, Kushchevskaya, Leushkovskaya and Plastunovskaya.

On December 1, 1819, permission was received to open a gymnasium in Ekaterinodar with the 45,000 rubles collected by the clergyman. Its direct opening took place on May 17, 1820. Rossinsky was appointed its first director, contrary to the rules. By his zeal, good teachers were invited to the gymnasium, and he supported some of them at his own expense. Thanks to him, a library was formed at the gymnasium, which received books from the military office, the Mezhigorsky monastery and other places. Without saving on it, Rossinsky tried to have all the best textbooks and special scholarly works purchased for the library. In addition to the sciences laid down by the charter, which included the fine sciences, the foundations of political economy and commerce, and since 1821 the Greek language for those who wish, Rossinsky also introduced, also in 1821, the teaching of military sciences: artillery and fortification; he also wanted to introduce the Turkish language into the course, but there was no suitable teacher for this. Since Rossinsky was completely deprived of the support of the military office in his activities in the field of education, only Kharkov University, which was in charge of the school business of the Black Sea Territory, was the only accomplice for him.

Other activities

Rossinsky was known as a writer and contributor to the journals "Competitor of Education" and "Ukrainian Herald". He was a member of the Kharkov Society of Sciences, which considered him among its external members in the department of verbal sciences, the Imperial Humanitarian Society, an honorary member of the St. Petersburg Free Society of Amateurs of Russian Literature. In 1815, Rossinsky compiled a manual entitled: “Short Rules of Russian Spelling” (two editions went through in Kharkov, dependent on the Black Sea troops of Lieutenant Colonel S. M. Dubonos). His interests sometimes included versification. His interest in music and singing was noted: in 1910 he was invited by the regent, whom he supported for two years at his own expense, until the formation of a military singing choir. Rossinsky also composed sermons (he wanted to publish them later, but because of his death the matter did not move), compiled a paschalia and various notes about the Black Sea region. His speeches were published in 1818 (“Speech at a public meeting in the Yekaterinodar Uyezd School of 1816 July 30th”, Kharkov) and in 1820 (“Speech at the opening of the Black Sea Gymnasium in Yekaterinodar, 1820, May 17th”, St. Petersburg. , and "Speech at a public meeting, at the end of a year's test, in the Ekaterinodar School", Kharkov) .

last years of life

For two years (1821 and 1822) Rossinsky was accused of being engaged in bribery and embezzlement of public sums; the investigation completely cleared him of these charges. In addition, Rossinsky gradually fell into poverty, but the military administration decided to give him 5,000 rubles in banknotes. He was also presented for the award of the Order of St. Anna II degree, with diamond decorations, but the award did not take place. Intense activity, in the absence of support, undermined the strength of the clergyman, and at the beginning of 1825 he fell ill and sent a request for resignation to the school committee of Kharkov University; after many attempts to keep his committee, finally ordered Rossinsky to hand over the post in form to one of the teachers. Due to his illness, the delivery of cases was slow, and without completing it, on December 12, 1825, he died.

Rossinsky was buried in the Ekaterinodar Resurrection Cathedral, on the left side of the altar. No monument was erected over his ashes, but a portrait of K.V. Rossinsky remained in the Ekaterinodar district school, on which he wrote: "Aliis inserviendo consumor", which in Latin means: "Serving others, I waste myself."

    WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HIM? ... Kirill Vasilyevich Rossinsky () - archpriest of the Black Sea army, preacher. Dates of life of K.V. Rossinsky are indicated according to the "Encyclopedic Dictionary of the History of the Kuban 1997). Other authors sometimes give other figures. Kirill Vasilyevich Rossinsky was born in the city of Novomirgorod, Kherson province, in the family of a priest. The roots of his family among the clergy of Eastern Ukraine "In Russia, Novomirgorod was a city of the military department. Then it became a provincial city of the Kherson province. Now it is a city in the Kirovograd region of Ukraine. With some degree of probability, we can assume distant family relations between K. Rossinsky and the famous Russian teacher of the first half of the 20th century. V. N. Soroka-Rosinsky.The ancestors of both of them came from a rather closed clergy of the Kharkov province.


    MEMORIES OF HIM The historian Mikhailo Bashmak characterized the outstanding educator of the Kuban as follows: “Kirill Vasilyevich Rossinsky was of medium height and very strong build, his hair was black, his face was swarthy, with an expression of mind. When the eloquent shepherd spoke his simple, lively and intelligent sermons, then one could often see tears on the stern faces of the courageous Cossacks.


    EDUCATION Educated at the Yekaterinoslav Seminary. After graduating from the Ekaterinoslav Theological Seminary, K. V. Rossinsky taught “Russian literature” at this educational institution for some time, and until 1803 he continued his service in Taganrog and Rostov-on-Don. All this time he was actively engaged in self-education.


    KV ROSSINSKY IN KUBAN In 1803 he received the church rank of archpriest (that is, senior priest) and was transferred to the post of archpriest of the Black Sea Cossack army - the main clergyman of this region. It was in the Kuban that the educational and charitable activities of Father Kirill Rossinsky unfolded in their entirety.


    CHURCH OF ST. CATHERINE Between the modern streets of Mira and Ordzhonikidze, Kommunarov and Sedina, in 1814 the church of St. Catherine. The initiator of its construction was the military archpriest Kirill Rossinsky. In the city then there were only the Resurrection Cathedral in the fortress and a small Armenian church in the area of ​​the Pushkin Library. Due to the remoteness, it was inconvenient for many citizens to visit the cathedral, and it could not always accommodate everyone.


    HISTORY OF CONSTRUCTION On June 25, 1813, the Cossack of Minsk Kuren (as the future villages were then called) took a contract for the construction of the church, Pyotr Kucher, promising under the contract “to do this work as soon as possible and by all means finish it in a year, if there is no stopping me in delivering timber, money and provisions will not happen. The work was completed on time and, apparently, well, otherwise the church would not have stood here for 100 years. It was "cruciform, pine forest, covered with sheet iron. The crosses and domes are gilded inside and out, but it itself is painted with white, green and blue colors. The fence next to it is a pine forest, made with a lattice, painted with different colors."


    OPENING A SCHOOL AT THE CHURCH The church was surrounded by a fence with three gates. The construction had not yet been completed, and in the house for the watchmen K.V. Rossinsky has already opened a school. Catherine's Church for a long time was attached to the Resurrection Cathedral, whose clergy held services here. Parish, with its own staff, it became in 1844. At first there was only one church clergy, and services were held in holidays. With the appointment of a second priest (1904), services became daily: in the evening and in the afternoon.


    A SAD END According to the church, the square on which she stood became known as Catherine's. During the construction of a new large cathedral from 1900 to 1914, the ancient Catherine's Church stood here, "hugging" at the erected hulk. She was 100 years old at that time! Its fate ended sadly: in 1987 it burned down.


    THE FOUNDATION OF THE KUBAN COSSACK CHOIR The military singing choir of the Kuban Cossack army was founded in 1811 on the initiative of the archpriest of the Black Sea Cossack army Kirill Vasilyevich Rossinsky (1776 - 1825). In his written petition dated August 2, 1810, before the Military Chancellery, it was said: “For a magnificent service at the local cathedral church, you need to have a singing choir, for the maintenance of which at least a thousand rubles should be determined annually ...”.


    OPENING SCHOOLS, GYMNASIUM In 1803, the first school appeared in Yekaterinodar, which was transformed three years later into a county school. In 1820, the Kuban Military Gymnasium was opened in the city, the director of which was appointed Military Archpriest K.V. Rossinsky. The Kuban Military Gymnasium was intended for children of the military class , but at the expense of the city, "parallel classes" were opened under her, where children of the townspeople who did not belong to the Cossacks could study who had passed the exams and had the opportunity to pay for their studies.


    ALEKSANDROVSKY REAL SCHOOL In 1890, in connection with the opening of the city men's gymnasium in Ekaterinodar, the Military School was abolished, and another Military educational institution, the Kuban Alexander Real School, founded in 1880 and previously located in a rented room, moved into this building. The new building of the real school gradually became a kind of educational and scientific center cities. In 1891, drawing and drawing courses for adults, mainly for workers, began to work here. Here students made meteorological observations, and weather bulletins were printed in the local newspaper. The mountain children's club created at the school organized expeditions during the summer holidays with a chain of studying the mountain riches of the region. The city was not rich in large audiences, and the Society of Lovers of the Study of the Kuban Region (OLIKO), the Kuban branch of the Russian Technical Society held their meetings in the assembly hall of the real school, members of the Society of People's Universities read public lectures here at scientific topics etc. During the Great Patriotic War, the building was destroyed. In its place, it was decided to build the House of Soviets (1956). Initially, the building was five-story, but the designers provided for the possibility of an add-on, which was subsequently done. A strict, laconic building with a waving flag has been occupied by the regional executive committee for many years. Now the administration of the Krasnodar Territory is located here. And in front of him is a cozy green zone - strict rows of silver fir trees, green lawns. And two monuments of nature - old plane trees, which, perhaps, grew in the yard of a real school.


    OPENING CHURCH SCHOOLS From 1812 to 1817, he opened six parochial schools in the Kuban villages, "arousing the jealousy of other villages."


    SO WHO IS HE? Author of numerous scientific articles in the spelling textbook for public schools “Short Rules of Russian Spelling” Founder of the first printing house in the Kuban, libraries for orphans and disabled people, the Bible Society of the military singing choir, the spiritual singing chapel of 27 churches in the Kuban The philanthropist donated his funds for the construction of many churches




    PERSONALITY K.V. Rossinsky was an outstanding personality: he was distinguished by versatile interests: he read a lot, wrote poetry, and even had a reputation as a skilled doctor; he was an excellent orator; an island was formed possessed of seething energy Engaged in education and charity


    CONTRIBUTION TO EDUCATION Rossinsky not only strove for knowledge himself, but also engaged in the establishment of new schools, the spread of literacy among the Cossacks. With his participation, the first Ekaterinodar school was transformed in 1806 into a school. It taught grammar, the basics of geometry and the natural sciences, geography, as well as "instructions in the positions of a person and a citizen" (as the rules of morality, duty and honor of a Russian citizen were called two centuries ago). Later K.V. Rossinsky opened parochial schools in Taman, the villages of Shcherbinovskaya, Bryukhovetskaya, Grivenskaya, Rogovskaya and Temryuk. In total, Kirill Vasilyevich opened 10 schools in Chernomorie, including in the villages of Medvedovskaya, Kushchevskaya, Plastunovskaya, Leushkovskaya. In 1820, at the suggestion of Rossinsky and with his participation, a gymnasium was established in Yekaterinodar, in the house where the first Kuban ataman Chepiga once lived. K.V. Rossinsky becomes the first director of the military gymnasium. Here he collects big library, opens an office of mineralogy, an archaeological museum. At his suggestion, the teaching of military sciences began in the gymnasium.


    TRAGEDY The end of this selfless man's life is tragic. Enemies, whom he had amassed a lot during the implementation of his plans, accused him of embezzlement of public money. One of the denunciations became the basis for a court case, and Kirill Vasilievich was sentenced to pay 1,143 rubles. The Cossacks were so outraged by the slander that they turned to the well-known General Yermolov in those years. And he - to the chief prosecutor of the Holy Synod. Ermolov described all the merits of K.V. Rossinsky and asked for financial assistance to the archpriest to pay off debts and to reward him. A decision was issued to allocate Kirill Vasilyevich an allowance of 5,000 rubles and to award him the Order of St. Anna. Alas, there was no one to receive all these benefits. The early death of his wife, deprivation, severe moral distress due to denunciations undermined the health of K.V. Rossinsky. December 12, 1825 he died. After the death of Kirill Vasilyevich, only a cassock and a worn fur coat remained of his personal belongings ...


    IN MEMORY OF HIM… He was buried in the Ekaterinodar Resurrection Cathedral, on the left side of the altar. No monument was erected over his ashes, but on his portrait, kept in the Yekaterinodar District School, the words signifying his whole life were written with his own hand by Kirill Vasilyevich Rossinsky: "Alienis inserviendo consumor A free city reading room was opened in Yekaterinodar. One of the Krasnodar Institute of International Law, Humanities and Management Established the Rossinsky Music Prize A chapel in the name of the saints was opened in Krasnodar Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril and Methodius, Slovenian teachers, on the territory of the Institute of International Law, Economics, Humanities and Management. Archpriest Kirill Rossinsky. It was consecrated on September 1, 1998.


    ETERNAL EXAMPLE FOR THOSE IN WHICH THE LOVE FOR KNOWLEDGE IS BURNING On the portrait of Kirill Vasilyevich Rossinsky, once kept in the Alexander Real School, the inscription was made by his hand: "Serving others, I waste myself." So hundreds of candles were lit from one candle: Kuban schools, colleges - bright lights that lit up thanks to educational activities Rossinsky, who worked all his life for the benefit of the Kuban. Reflections of his spiritual light illuminate today all those in whom the love of knowledge burns. "Alienis inserviendo consumer"

A strict lifestyle and eloquent sermons drew the attention of the diocesan authorities to R., and he was instructed to teach sermons to newly delivered priests at the cathedral church. For zeal and work in the execution of the assignments entrusted to him, R. in 1800 was elevated to the rank of archpriest and transferred to the city of Taganrog, where his sermons were forced to speak of him as a rare occurrence in the church pulpit. On June 19, 1803, at the request of the entire Black Sea army, R. was appointed by Afanasy, Archbishop of Yekaterinoslav, to the city of Yekaterinodar as the military archpriest of the Black Sea army, and, at the same time, the first present of the Yekaterinodar Spiritual Board. Thanks to his outstanding mind, talent and extensive and, at that time, versatile knowledge, R. soon acquired great weight and importance among the Black Sea army and the population, which greatly helped him in his subsequent activities. Concerned about the small number of priests in the region (only 10 people) and not being able to call suitable persons from Russia, where there were exaggerated rumors about the disastrous climate of the Black Sea, R., with the consent of the military authorities, chose from local residents capable and truly disposed to the spiritual rank people, he himself taught them everything necessary and then sent them to the Ekaterinoslav Bishop for ordination. Since there were only four churches in the region (not counting the chapels), R. sometimes traveled around the region for two months "to beg for alms for the construction of churches." In the shortest possible time, R. pawned wooden churches in many villages for the collected sums, summoned craftsmen from Russia, and himself was in charge of the construction of churches. For all the time of his service in the Black Sea region, he founded and built 27 churches. For these merits, R. was awarded a velvet skufia and club.

    Further activities R. almost entirely devoted to the cause of education in the Black Sea region, which had before him only one lower educational institution. In fairness, R. is still called the "enlightener of the Black Sea region." On the initiative of R., the school that existed in Ekaterinodar was on December 14, 1806 transformed into the District School; for the construction of a building for him and for its maintenance, the Military Chancellery decided to release an annual allowance of 1,500 rubles. Thanks to the efforts of R., appointed Superintendent of the School, it was filled with pupils in the shortest possible time; from Russia R. called good teachers, among whom he himself was an exemplary teacher of the law. In 1809, his wife probably died - and her death had a strong effect on R.; at the request of the protopriest archpriest I. Gozdava-Bochkovsky, he agreed to give him his place, and he intended to go, "in his loneliness and widowhood", to the monastery; The Archbishop of Yekaterinoslav did not agree to this combination, to whom he received from St. Synod petition of Fr. Gozdavo-Bochkovsky, - and R. remained in the Black Sea region. In 1811, at the request of R., the first class of the Gymnasium was formed in the County School, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the Gymnasium in Yekaterinodar, the opening of which was R.'s cherished dream. January 1812, Order of St. Anna 3rd degree. To increase the influx of students to the County School and, at the same time, to prepare a contingent of students for the Gymnasium, R. set out to open parochial schools. Not counting on the help of the Military Office, R. again turned to charity; having printed and distributed the Highest Letter of 1806 to the Black Sea Army for donations to the educational business, he collected the amount of money sufficient to open three schools, which he opened in Temryuk, Shcherbinovka and Art. Bryukhovetskaya. Overseers in these schools, R. chose people from wealthy and honorable residents, who, on the basis of the Charter, were supposed to take care of the external and internal welfare of the schools; he asked the Archbishop of Yekaterinoslav for permission to teach the Latin language and musical singing in schools for children of clergy and clergy, with the right to deduct a certain part of the mug collection for this. Soon R. opened the fourth School - in Hryvnia. Unexpectedly, in 1815, the Yekaterinoslav Archbishop forbade the use of church mug sums, demanding from R. a report on the expenditure of these sums; everything turned out to be correct, but the source of income dried up, due to which many teachers left their places. The time from 1815 to 1817 was the most difficult in the life of R. - the time of his struggle for the existence of schools. The school business was saved when in 1817 a philanthropist, the Kursk merchant S. V. Antimonov, appeared, who donated 6,500 rubles, thanks to which the existence of open schools was strengthened. Taking care of the enlightenment and education of the children of the clergy of the Black Sea region, R. opened in August 1818 the Spiritual Parish School and was its first caretaker. In 1819 R. opened more schools in the villages of Riga, Temryuk, Medvedovskaya, Kushchevskaya, Leushkovskaya and Plastunovskaya. On December 1, 1819, the Highest permission was granted for the 45,000 rubles collected by R. to open a Gymnasium in Ekaterinodar; The very opening of the Gymnasium took place on May 17, 1820. The Highest appointed R. was appointed its first Director, in the absence of rules. Through his efforts, a library was formed at the Gymnasium, where books were received from the Military Chancellery, the Mezhigorsky Monastery and other places; R. did not spare money on her: all the best that came out then - textbooks and special scientific essays - everything was purchased in the library. In addition to the sciences prescribed by the Charter, which included the fine sciences, the foundations of political economy and commerce, and since 1821 the Greek language for those who wish; R., in view of the special, as he said, the military nature of the population, reduced the teaching of military sciences: artillery and fortification; he also wanted to introduce the Turkish language to the course, but there was no suitable teacher for this. In his activities, R. was completely deprived of the support of the Military Chancellery, and only Kharkov University, which was in charge of the school affairs of the Black Sea Territory, was the only accomplice and intercessor for R., repeatedly giving brilliant reviews about his activities. For two years (1821 and 1822), R. was pursued by slander because he was engaged in bribery and embezzlement of public sums; the investigation completely cleared him of these charges. Intense activity, in the absence of support, undermined R.'s strength; at the beginning of 1825, he fell ill and, no longer able to carry out his official duties, asked the school committee of Kharkov University to resign; after many attempts to keep him, the Committee finally ordered R. to hand over the position in the form of one of the teachers; no matter how R. was in a hurry to complete the delivery of the deeds and property of the Gymnasium, the delivery was slow due to his illness, and without completing the delivery, on December 12, 1825, he died.

    R. was known as a writer and contributor to the journals "Competitor of Education" and "Ukrainian Herald". He was a member of the Kharkov Society of Sciences, which considered him among its external members in the department of verbal sciences, the Imperial Humanitarian Society, an honorary member of the St. Petersburg Free Society of Russian Literature Lovers. "All these Societies, electing him as their members, hastened to show both his talents, and zeal for the sciences, and all generally useful intentions, high reverence and respect." In 1815, Mr.. R. compiled a manual entitled: "Short Rules of Russian Spelling" (twice published in Kharkov, dependent on the Black Sea troops, Lieutenant Colonel S. M. Dubonos); briefly, simply and clearly stated rules were drawn up so rationally that they could still serve usefully even now, at the same time they were a rare, if not the only phenomenon in Russia. He also sometimes took up versification. His speeches were published in 1818 ("Speech at a public meeting in the Yekaterinodar District School of 1816 July 30th. Kharkov) and in 1820 ("Speech at the opening of the Black Sea Gymnasium in Yekaterinodar, 1820, May 17th" t, St. Petersburg. and "Speech at a public meeting, at the end of a year's trial, in the Ekaterinodar School", Kharkov) years. R. was buried in the Ekaterinodar Resurrection Cathedral, on the left side of the altar. No monument was erected over his ashes, but on his portrait, stored in the Ekaterinodar District The school, R.'s own hand wrote the words that mark his whole life: “Alienis inserviendo consumor.” In memory of R., a free city reading room is now open in Yekaterinodar.
