The article continues the thematic cycle of author’s publications providing some information about a previously unknown direction of the activity of the Nerchinsk Monastery of Holy Dormition – a penitentiary one. This monastery, being a remote one in the Russian empire, was used as a place of exile and imprisonment for unwelcome clergy throughout the 18^th century. The author carried out a comprehensive analysis of a small group of prisoners banished to Siberia, which included high-ranking hierarchs who previously belonged to the leadership of the supreme body of the church-state administration of the ROC.
