The lodge included many officers of the Imperial Guard, who belonged to the clan nobility, whose ancestors were often part of Russian military freemasonry of the 18th - early 19th centuries. This lodge was not only by the faith of its members, but also by its entire character a purely and emphasized Christian, one can even say deeply and soulfully Orthodox.
