%X The article traces possible channels of influence of a religious factor on the formation of a specific Russian version of socialism. Using the logics of the M. Weber¡¯s work ¡°The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism¡±, I. Zabaev reveals the categories that played a dominating role in the people¡¯s consciousness in the pre-revolutionary Russia. According to his conclusion, these categories were ¡°obedience¡± and ¡°resignation¡±. It was obedience and resignation that assured the salvation (main value in Orthodoxy) of an Orthodox person. In everyday life such orientations were easily transformed into the readiness to obey the ¡°superior¡±. Once elaborated, they turned to be quite stable and, being separated from their religious roots, ensured a sort of asceticism on the secular path.
