Joseph Volokolamsk Monastery was founded in 1479 by Joseph Volotsky. It became the center of the so-called Josephinians in the 16th century and played a notable role in the political and ecclesiastic life of Russia. It was also a stronghold of struggle against the opponents of church landownership (called нестяжатели, or nestyazhateli) and heretics. In 1560s, Joseph Volokolamsk Monastery possessed more than 30,000 desyatinas of arable lands. In 1594-1595, the votchinas of the monastery saw a number of peasant rebellions, which would foreshadow the ripening peasant war in the early 17th century. During the Bolotnikov Uprising, Joseph Volokolamsk Monastery was actively engaged in helping the government of Vasily Shuysky in his struggle against the rebels. The might of the monastery was seriously undermined by the Polish invasion in 1610, during which it would be destroyed. Joseph Volokolamsk Monastery was restored during the reign of Alexey Mikhailovich.
