The Sobor produced a church code called the ''Synodal Code of the Russian Orthodox Church Synod" (Соборное Уложение Собора Русской Православной Церкви). It was formatted as a record of questions by the Tsar to the clergy, with answers. By the end of the sixteenth century the text of the Code was formatted into 100 chapters (or "Sto glav" in Russian), which became commonly referred to as the '''''Stoglav'''''. As a result, since those times the Sobor acquired the name "Stoglavy Sobor".
During the second half of the sixteenth century, the decisions of the Stoglav Council became the basic code of law for the internal life of the church in Russia and its mutual relations with society and the State, having been promulgated in many hand-written editions of ''Stoglav"'.<ref>Jack Kollmann, ''The Moscow Stoglav ('Hundred Chapters') Church Council of 1551'' (Ph.D. diss., University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 1978).</ref> However, during the [[Moscow Sobor of 1666–1667]] some of the resolutions of the Stoglavy Sobor were canceled. <ref >[http://vob.ru/public/bishop/istor_vest/2002/1_16/4.htm Church Court in the Resolutions of the Stoglavy Sobor]</ref>
