RELIGIOUS APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM OF EDUCATION IN VV ZENKOVSKY'S ORTHODOX PEDAGOGY

The modern reality is characterized by a shortage of spiritual values and moral and ethical constants. The strengthening of pragmatism in the cultural environment and the popularization of consumer psychology in the media have caused a negative trend in the formal attitude of the individual to spiritual growth, both one's own and other people's. A thorough study of the history of different approaches to education will contribute to overcoming these negative trends, as well as the practical implementation of the tasks facing the integral education system in Russia. The article analyses V.V. Zenkovsky's pedagogical research and organizational activities conducted in emigration, the main problems of raising children and youth presented in his pedagogical research, as well as the basic postulates of the holistic concept of Orthodox pedagogy created by him.
