state church, with abolition of the government and it was not required to specify the religious belonging in the official documents of the citizens.the first legislation of the Soviet state, on the one hand, they had to take into account the necessity to reckon with the fact that the overwhelming part of the population was religious, on the other hand, there has begun the hostile relation of the new ideology to religion. At first sight, the tolerance to confession of religion was shown, but at the same time religion was considered as the private affair of the citizen, and that all possible public ways of familiarizing with it were forbidden.the orthodox clergy as one of the most reactionary forces of the Tsarist Russia, the organizers and inspirers of the white movement as the enemies, the bolsheviks from 1 920 till 1931 - closed, ruined and blew up 80 church buildings and premises in Pridnestrovie. In Tiraspol, for example, seven orthodox churches were closed, and their buildings were blown up. The attitude of the bolshevik leaders of the country to the orthodox church in many respects changed during the Great Patriotic War when the Orthodox Church stood up as the patriots of the Fatherland, and the patriarchate was restored, and opening of the new and restoration of the churches began. However, this could not happen in Pridnestrovie as it was occupied by the fascists. Those orthodox churches opened by the Romanian invaders, were renamed in honour of the sacred, mostly esteemed in Romania. To tell the truth, restoration of the churches in Pridnestrovie being a part of Odessa region of the Ukraine, was carried out for Romanization of the territory. The Romanian patriarchy without coordination with the Moscow patriarch impudently and forcibly spread its jurisdiction on the occupied territory [1] .the Great Patriotic War a number of orthodox churches working in wartime were not closed in connection with the improvement of relations of the authorities to the needs of the orthodox church. But, in 1955-1956, the situation changed. All the churches were closed. On the territory of the Pridnestrovie continued services two churches - the Church in the village of Voronkovo ??Rybnitsa district and the Church in the village of Podoima Kamenka District. The Russian orthodox church of the Pridnestrovie in the period of Khrushchev - ruling of the country, has undergone the worst sufferings even in comparison with the times of Stalin. The disintegration of the Soviet Union, formation of the Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublika and the huge spiritual pulse connected with it, gave rise to patriotism and returning to historical and cultural beginnings which have greatly changed the status of the Russian orthodox church in this region, in the Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublika [2] .the moment of formation of vikarship in Pridnestrovie 27 churches worked in which 35 clergymen served. By the end of the year of +2000 the Tiraspol and Dubossar diocese comprised 68 perishes. At the beginning of 1990s active church construction began in Pridnestrovie. Radical changes in the attitude to religion took place. Activities of the religious organizations are regulated first of all by the Constitution of the Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublika. The first Constitution was adopted on September 2, 1991 and was similar to the Soviet Constitution, but it regulated relations between the state and church in the new way. For example, in Article 49 of the Constitution of the PM SSR read, that the citizens of the PM SSR are guaranteed with the freedom of worship, that is the right to profess any religion or not to profess any religion, and each person shall have the right to distribute religious and atheistic views, to be engaged in religious or atheistic education of children, and carry out religious services. It is obvious, that we speak not only about the right of the citizens to conduct antireligious propagation, characteristic for the Soviet period of time, but the citizens are given the right to be engaged in religious propagation. The first half of 1990s is the time of democratization of social order, change of political and social essence of the state, and radical changes in the attitudes of the state to the religion.second Constitution of the Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublika adopted at the all national referendum on December 24, 1995. proclaims the Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublika the sovereign, independent, democratic, lawful state. First, Section I of the Constitution stipulates the secular character of the Pridnestrovie as one of the fundamentals of the constitutional system. Thus, according to Article 9 of the Constitution, the Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublika shall be the secular state and no religion can be established state or obligatory, and all religious associations shall be separated from the state and shall be equal under the law [3]. Second, Article 30 of the Const...
