Answer 3

The correct answer is B) Solovetsky Monastery. This monastery became the center of the Old Believers' (Old Ritualists') uprising in 1668-1676, because they refused to accept the church reforms initiated by Patriarch Nikon and Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich. The reforms aimed to unify the liturgical rite of the Russian Church with the Greek Church and especially with the Constantinople Church, but in fact they created conditions for secularization. The Old Believers resisted the changes in the rites, such as the two-fingered sign of the cross, the spelling of Jesus' name, and the number of prostrations. They considered these changes to be heretical and corrupting the true faith.

The government troops arrived at Solovki and began a siege that lasted for 7.5 years. The monks defended themselves bravely, using cannons, firearms, and even boats. They also received support from other Old Believers, who sent them supplies and reinforcements. The siege was finally broken by a traitor, who revealed a secret passage and a more favorable time for penetration. The musketeers managed to enter the monastery and suppress the resistance. Many monks were killed, tortured, or exiled.

The Solovetsky Monastery was a symbol of the Old Believers' struggle for their faith and traditions. It also had a rich cultural and historical heritage, as it was founded in the 15th century by St. Zosima and St. Savvaty, who were disciples of St. Sergius of Radonezh. The monastery was famous for its architecture, libraries, manuscripts, icons, and relics.
