Heresies (from the Greek word “heresis,” which means “special doctrine”) are a deviation from official church teaching, from church dogma and from the worship of church shrines - icons, relics of saints, etc.

Heretics denied the divine origin of Jesus Christ and spoke about his human essence, rejected the veneration of icons, monasticism, and the worship of saints.

Heresies undermined the foundations of the church, and since the church supported the state and substantiated the divine origin of the supreme power, the power of the great Moscow princes, the fight against church foundations also meant undermining state interests.

The wave of heresy reached Rus' in the second half of the 14th - early 15th centuries, and it is no coincidence that its first shoots appeared in Novgorod and Pskov - large trading cities closely connected with Western countries. Heretics (they were called Strigolniks because among them there were clerics who had been disrobed, that is, deprived of clergy) denounced the churchmen, including the monastic brethren, for greed, bribery, the pursuit of “estate” and said that such people cannot teach people to believe.
