Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the ideological split in Russian society and pedagogy, based on the opposition of Orthodox and Soviet identities. Through a comparative analysis of two pedagogical strategies — focused on the spiritual ascent of the personality of the Orthodox model and aimed at the formation of a "new man" of the Soviet system — their structural kinship and key differences are revealed. Soviet pedagogy is considered as a secular surrogate of the Orthodox, retaining its basic elements, but devoid of a spiritual foundation. A "great synthesis" is proposed as a solution, combining the spiritual ideals of Orthodoxy, the social practices of the Soviet era and modern civic values.

Keywords: Orthodox pedagogy, Soviet pedagogy, education, synthesis, mentoring, spiritual ideal, secularization
