This decree determined the main principles and directions of activities of the state as to the church. The article shows the role of M.A. Reusner, the prominent scholar and lawyer, in the preparation of the decree, identifi es his actual role in the process of designing the document. Using documentary materials and academic works of Prof. M.A. Reusner himself, the article analyses his contribution to the development of the decree.
