Few people know that in the middle of the 19th century, Russia was essentially already split in half. When the government sent several research commissions in the late 1840s, a terrifying picture became clear: millions of Russian people did not consider themselves adherents to the official church and were extremely hostile to the current government.
whole provinces were covered by a schismatic front. There were countless villages controlled by representatives of the Old Believer movement, where there were double walls and roofs in the houses to hide the runaway schismatics. Huge financial and industrial resources concentrated in the hands of very successful merchants. In fact, the second, parallel Russia was built.
Young Slavophile Ivan Aksakov, a participant in one of the state commissions, then wrote doomedly: “Right, Russia will soon divide into two halves: Orthodoxy will be on the side of the treasury, government ... And all the others will turn to a split ... It seems that it seems that We are destined only to understand the disease and contemplate how it is gradually devouring yet infected members. ” Actually, this happened later in the form of two Russian revolutions, for which the Old Believers prepared generous ground. This book first shows a complete picture of the consequences of the spiritual split of Russian society and the true role of the Old Believers in the history of Russia
