Abstract
This concluding chapter addresses how the history of the Convent of the Exaltation of the Cross and the other convents and women's communities in Nizhnii Novgorod diocese demonstrates how Orthodox women contributed significantly to the renewal, growth, and transformation of both Orthodox monasticism in Imperial Russia and Christian virtuoso religious life in general during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This outcome resulted from the creation by women of new forms of community that reflected the interaction between Orthodox monastic traditions and ideals, the particular character of modernizing change in Imperial Russia, and the shifting impact of this change on different groups of women. The ability of these communities to first flourish in the conditions of emergent modernity and then survive the revolutionary upheavals of early Soviet Russia shows how religion can both empower women and provide a medium for adapting creatively to change. The chapter considers two further aspects of the distinctive path of development of the Convent of the Exaltation of the Cross. These include the growth of a modernizing state and the convent's interconnections with the city of Nizhnii Novgorod.
