Abstract	:	Eighteenth-century Russian Orthodox pilgrim Vasilii Grigorovich-Barskii spent over two decades traveling through the Orthodox world, traversing popular pilgrim routes crossing through Catholic Europe and the Muslim-majority Ottoman Empire. I examine Barskii’s engagement with his coreligionists through shared material, cultural, and intellectual spaces. Familiar liturgical rites and architecture endowed Barskii with a sense of religious belonging in foreign contexts. Barskii likewise deployed his studies to insert himself into Orthodox communities linked by shared scholastic curricula. Knowledge acquired in and out of the anchored Barskii’s ability to place himself and his readers in Orthodox history. Furthermore, Barskii accounted for the internal and external challenges to Orthodoxy. Administrative politics and Orthodox defections to the Uniate Church splintered parishes and left many without access to religious services. Catholic ascendency in Orthodox territories and Ottoman Muslim regulation and repossession of Orthodox churches further altered the religious landscape. This paper reconstructs Barskii’s encounters with that landscape.
