Stogolovy Cathedral is a church and zemstvo council that was held in Moscow from February 23 to May 11, 1551 ( 7051 ) in the Assumption Cathedral of the Kremlin , with the participation of Tsar Ivan the Terrible , the higher clergy and representatives of the Boyar Duma .
On the part of the clergy, Metropolitan Makarios (as chairman), as well as Archbishops Akaki ( Tver diocese ), Guri ( Smolensk diocese ), Kasyan ( Ryazan diocese ), Cyprian ( Perm diocese ), Nikander ( Rostov diocese ), Savva ( Krutitsky diocese ), Tryphon ( Suzdal diocese ), Theodosius ( Novgorod diocese ) and another Theodosius ( Kolomensk diocese )
The cathedral was convened at the initiative of Macarius and Sylvester [1] . The text of the agenda is presumably compiled by Sylvester . The struggle of the Josephites and non-possessors found expression in the cathedral, supporting which the king hoped to conduct secularization. The decisions of the council, expressed in 100 chapters ( Stoglav ), were of a compromise nature.

Timeline
The date of the cathedral is controversial. Evgeni Golubinsky recognizes the date of February 23 as the beginning of the work of the Cathedral, while the priest Dimitri Stefanovich says in his master's thesis that the Cathedral began in early January 1551, and by February 23 it could have ended. And by May the editorial board of the decisions of the cathedral [2] was compiled.
Cathedral Decisions
The council adopted Sudebnik , rejected the secularization plans of the government, but limited the further increment of church possessions in cities and the financial privileges of the clergy; decisions, summarized in a hundred chapters, in the literature are called Stoglava .
The tsar also presented the new Code of Law and statutory letters to the cathedral, requested that they be read and judged, and if the case was deemed worthy, be signed with them for storage in the treasury. The king said, by the way, at the council that his nobles and nobles fell into many self-interest and embezzlement, he called them extortioners, predators, doing an unrighteous trial; but at the same time, he acknowledged that it was impossible to fix all the insults and ruin that arose from the insanity and abuse of the authorities, and requested that “hostility and hardship” be left to each other. At the Stoglav Cathedral, the king confirmed that he ordered the boyars to "make peace" for all matters "with all Christians" of his kingdom [3] .
Some decisions of the Council regarding rituals were canceled by the Moscow Council in 1667, which imposed anathema on both the rituals and dogmas themselves and those who adhere to them: double-fingered , two -lipped hallelujah, etc.
