Abstract
The religious reformism appears during the periods of historical renewal . In Russia in 1905 there were groups of «free» or «social Christianity» in the reformist structures . Bishop Mikhail (Semenov), one of the leaders of «free Christianity», planned to create the new, free Church . The «free Christianity» was guided by programs which offered religious justification for the social demands . Which of the programs belonged to b . Mikhail (Semenov)? Why did the «neochristians» support «Christianity» and then refuse to help «Golgotha Christians»? The author compares versions of programs and resolves these issues .
