This work researches the intellectual choice, based on the cultural mechanism of borrowing and its gradual rooting in Russia by the end of Muscovy in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich and before the reforms of Peter the Great. When and how was the ground prepared on which the building of academic schools, institutions including further breakthroughs to the European arts and sciences become possible? How does the connection between royal authority and intellectual culture function with the epoch of change? What would the government choose, by encouraging the borrowing mechanism? What was the role of intellectual monks who brought with them samples of book baroque culture by Simeona Polotskii, Karion Istomin, Feofan Prokopovic, etc. These questions, as well as others, are raised in this book, using specific, sometimes unexpected material.
