Opis

The schism that split the Russian Orthodox Church in 1667 alienated thousands of devout men and women - the Old Believers - who practiced their faith as outsiders for more than two centuries. This book explores how the Old Believers adapted to rapid change in the early 20th century and reveals the many facets of Old Believer life.
