Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating and complex history of religious dissent in Russia, a phenomenon known as the Raskol. The author delves into the social, political, and religious forces that contributed to this schism, beginning with the seventeenth century and its tumultuous era of change. You'll discover how the Raskol arose not merely from theological disputes but also from deep-seated tensions between the Church and the Russian people, particularly the lower clergy and the peasantry. You'll learn about the different groups within the Raskol, including the Old Believers, the Rationalists, and the Mystics. The author examines the reasons behind their divergent views, the unique practices they adopted, and the persecution they faced at the hands of the Tsarist government. You'll also gain insight into the role of Tartar influence in shaping Russian society and its impact on the Raskol movement. This work offers a compelling analysis of a pivotal chapter in Russian history, revealing the complex interplay between faith, politics, and social structures. By understanding the Raskol, we can gain a deeper understanding of the historical forces that have shaped Russia's religious landscape and its people's relationship with authority.
