The goal of the article is to present the unique meeting between Kiev – a Russian metropolis and a cultural centre of the beginning of the 18th century – with a Russian province – the town of Rostov. This meeting realized in the ministry of Dymitry Tuptalo – a famous graduate of the Kiev-Mohylan Collegium who is known as Dymitry of Rostov. First of all, the author explains why Kiev and Rostov are shown as a metropolis and province. The huge discrepancy in education, social level and religious items between Kiev and Rostov had affected Dymitry’s work since he became a bishop of the Rostov diocese in 1702. Secondly, the article describes how Dymitry of Rostov tried to make the Russian province and centre closer to each other. These attempts were reflected in Dymitry’s ministry. The author develops the thesis that Dymitry was aimed at turning Rostov into a Kiev of northern Russia. Thirdly, specific examples of Dymitry’s work are given. Sermons, letters, reprimands were an inherent part of his ministry. The author underlines the importance of the discussion between Dymitry and the Old Believers who lived in the diocese. The polemics inspired Dymitry to write a polemical book agianst the Old Believers. Apart from this, there is a description of the school in Rostov founded by the bishop and its meaning for the whole Rostov area. In the conclusion, the author tries to answer if the measures took by Dymitry were effective enough to eliminate the differences between Kiev and Rostov. There is also a question whether such an elimintion is good. The author suggests theses trials may lead to standardization which can be achieved improperly, disturbing different regions in their own development.
