The materials were some documents and manuscripts of “chronicles” from the archive of Kirovsk’s church. Kirovsk had built on the first half of XXth century and as all Soviet cities in the same period characterized an atheistic atmosphere and ideology. We chose to study Kirovsk’s church was caused that Kirovsk’s case can be to consider such a precedent for all the Soviet North. The state had to declare the young under construction socialistic town only as atheistic area. However, in 1946 in Kirovsk had opened Orthodox church, there was the first one in Murmansk region after Second World War. We analyzed a present data and it allowed us to created “collective biographical description” of the clergy of Soviet period in point of view of religious people. The aim of the study was the identification of key meanings and structural narrative stereotypes in various forms of presentation of biographies of representatives of the clergy of the Kirovsk’s church. In biographies clearly, stand out some repeatedly constructs and narrative patterns. There was significant that in the opinion of the society’s members the clergy’s personal way is presenting a biography consistent with a hagiographical image. The clergy personal way depends upon the concept of proofs his sacral status.
