Object of study - Russian rural population of the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Subject of study - ethnography of childhood of Russians of Bashkortostan. In this study, ethnographic methods are used to study rituals, customs associated with the birth and upbringing of children in a traditional society, as well as clothing, food, household items, toys, games, folklore, childhood diseases and ailments, folk ways to get rid of them.

The territorial scope of the study - The Republic of Bashkortostan, which in the past belonged to the Ufa province (sample 1865) and the Bashkir ASSR (1919). The Russian villages of Belokataysky, Birsky, Duvansky, Dyurtyulinsky, Zilairsky, Karaidelsky, Krasnokamsky, Kugarchinsky, Mechetlinsky districts, in which Russians live immigrants from the northern, southern and central provinces of Russia.

Chronological scope of the study cover the period from the end of the XIX century (the completion of the formation of the distribution areas of the Russian population in Bashkiria; the availability of published information about the world of childhood) to the middle of the XX century. (interruption of native traditions after the opening of maternity hospitals, loss of the institution of midwives, widespread rejection of customs associated with religion and community education). In some cases, the chronology has been expanded to the beginning of the XXI century. (2010 2014) to identify the dynamics of traditions.

The degree of knowledge of the problem. The ethnography of childhood has become the subject of research by a large number of foreign and Russian authors. Summarizing the corpus of various sources, we can distinguish three stages in the development of this scientific direction abroad, in Russia and Bashkortostan.

1. Formation of ethnography of childhood as an independent subject of research in the last quarter of the XIX - early XX century. Information about the ethnography of childhood in Russia was accumulated along with the general factology. V.S.Kasimovsky, describing in the 1860s - 1870s. features of life and culture of the Russian population of the Zlatoust district of the Ufa province, also recorded information about children. N. A. Gurvich in the "Memorable book" for 1883 in the section "Folk examples and beliefs in the Ufa province" published an essay by R. G. Ignatiev, in which he gave information about the prohibitions for pregnant women, customs associated with childbirth, "children's place ”, about the role of a midwife, etc. Information about the world of childhood is available in the memoirs of a physician-therapist, Professor DI Tatarinov (1877, Beloretsk - 1956, Ufa), the writings of the famous Russian writer T. Aksakov (1791, Ufa - 1859, Moscow), literary works of Nikolai Pallo (1922–2013), a native of the Zlatoust district.

At the turn of the XIX and XX centuries. the formation of the ethnography of childhood began as an independent scientific direction. At the same time, research approaches changed, which determined the formation of the ethnography of childhood as a multidisciplinary scientific direction. The first, the earliest, approach researchers call pediatric... It is characterized by "medical and anthropological studies" of the "bodily and physiological" side of childhood (obstetrics, childhood diseases, physical education, etc.), dates back to the last quarter of the 19th century. Its representatives were E.A. Pokrovsky, V.F.Demich, G. Popov. Doctors set themselves the task of improving the state of their life through studying the world of childhood and educating the people. E. A. Pokrovsky (1834–1895) - Russian pediatrician, psychologist, organizer and editor of the psychological and pedagogical journal "Vestnik Vobrazheniya", studied the physical education of peoples. Along the way, I collected children's things and accessories from all over Russia: cradles, wheelchairs, dolls, clothes, as well as recipes for children's food, children's games. In Europe at the same time, a book by the German anthropologist, ethnographer and gynecologist Hermann Heinrich Ploss (1819–1885), dedicated to the ethnographic, anthropological, cultural and historical characteristics of women, was popular.

The second way of studying the world of childhood is actually ethnographic, marked by the appearance in Russia in 1904 of "Programs for collecting information about native and baptismal rituals among Russian peasants and foreigners" by V. N. Kharuzina (1866-1931). In the work of V.N. Kharuzina, for the first time, the world of childhood became the subject of a special study. A significant contribution to the study of the problem was made by one of the founders of Russian ethnography N. N. Kharuzin (1865–1900) and ethnographer, ethnographer, museum worker V. V. Bogdanov (1868–1949). In May 1904, the famous ethnographer D.K. Zelenin worked in the Belebeevsky district of the Ufa province. Having visited the Old Believer village of Usen-Ivanovo, he revealed, on the one hand, the conservatism of the system of raising children, and on the other, the inevitable influence of social changes. Information about children participating in the holding of folk festivals and amusements is contained in the provincial press.

The third way is folkloristic- outlined at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries. thanks to VP Shein (1826-1900), who was the first to single out children's folklore as an independent section. In the 1920s. folklorists GS Vinogradov ("the godfather of the new science") and ON Kapitsa defined the world of childhood as a special subculture with its own structure, language, and traditions.

Thus, at the end of the XIX - beginning of the XX century. approaches to the study of the world of childhood were formed - from the point of view of medicine, ethnography and folklore. Subsequently, they expanded through the efforts of psychologists, linguists, educators, sociologists, religious scholars, philosophers, culturologists, defectologists, and representatives of other disciplines.

2. "Children's ethnography" / "ethnography of childhood" in the 1920s - 1980s. In the USSR, the development of childhood ethnography (as well as ethnological science in general) was possible within the framework of historical materialism, the class approach, and the need to form a “new” person. The upbringing of children was studied using the example of the Evenks, Kets, Khanty, Chuvash, Estonians, and the peoples of Dagestan. The circle of studied peoples and problems expanded. The customs and rituals of the child's cycle were described, the family and family life of different peoples of the USSR were studied. The profound transformations of relations in the Soviet family were characterized. Regional studies of the ethnography of Russian childhood were organized, including by methods of field ethnography.

A significant contribution to the ethnography of childhood in Russia was made by I. S. Kon (1928–2011). He is called the "ancestor" of the domestic trend in the ethnography of childhood. A lot of materials on the ethnography of childhood were presented by IS Kon, being the executive editor of the serial publication Ethnography of Childhood. In these books, for the first time, the methods of socialization of a child in a number of Asian cultures are collected and compared, methods of caring for babies, labor and sex education, forms of encouragement and punishment, relations between parents and children are studied. Collections have ethnographic, cultural, pedagogical, psychological value.

Introduction to work

The relevance of research: Until recently, one of the features of the Russian socio-cultural context was the situation of a sharp break in religious traditions that arose as a result of the radical atheism of the Soviet period.In recent decades, this situation has changed significantly, since the late 1980s enough time has passed for many traditions to be restored , and religious institutions have regained their former functions.However, it’s still too early to talk about the complete overcoming of this gap. religious socialization In addition, involved in the dynamic transformation processes taking place in the context of globalization and modernization, such communities today are experiencing difficulties of a different kind.

In addition to the so-called "main" religions - Orthodoxy and Islam, as well as many "new" trends that have appeared in recent years, in the modern ethno-confessional mosaic of Russia, one can distinguish a group of traditional religions that do not have mass distribution today, but have played a significant role in Russian history. In particular, the Old Believers can be attributed.Due to objective reasons, in the Soviet period, they did not preserve even a minimum base for growth (clergy personnel, educational institutions, religious buildings) and did not enjoy external support, such groups found themselves in a rather difficult situation Their survival depends entirely on internal adaptive resources and self-preservation mechanisms developed in the course of historical development

Old Believer culture strives for maximum actualization of the heritage, and tradition is the most important way of structuring collective experience. a type of "ancient tradition" (synonymous with "pure", "unclouded"), which, upon contact with modernity, is endangered. special value, they associate this purity with the need to preserve the faith of their ancestors. For them, the problem of finding new

forms of broadcasting traditional norms in modern dynamic reality is on a par with the problem of self-preservation of a group as an integrity Therefore, the lack of such an opportunity threatens them with the erosion of identity and the loss of "self" In this regard, the questions of what are the mechanisms of such self-preservation, in what particular forms (in practice) they find their expression and, finally, are they capable of ensuring the stable existence of such ethno-confessional formations today? It should be noted that the mechanisms of self-preservation in this work are understood as a set of unique states and processes, interdependent and in a certain subordination, aimed at maintaining group centeness and balance between the social system and the environment.

The aspect of the problem of self-preservation of closed religious communities considered in this dissertation work, and the object of research, are of great scientific interest already due to their novelty and little study. So, in public opinion, the Old Believers are defined only as a Russian religious movement, but it was quite widespread among a number of Finno -Ugric and some Turkic peoples On the territory of the Ural-Volga region, most of the non-Russian Old Believers were among the Mordovians and Komi-Permians, a small number among the Udmurts and Chuvashes This is evidenced by various written sources, in particular, published materials of the All-Russian census of 1897. specificity, they still exist and need a comprehensive study.The penetration of the Old Believers into another ethnocultural environment undoubtedly influenced the existence of this environment, transformed it and introduced new elements. it evolved itself, pouring out into other forms in the process of adaptation to the real environment

Thus, the consideration of the Old Believers as a phenomenon aimed at the reproduction of traditions precisely in different ethnocultural environments allows, on the one hand, to solve complex theoretical problems associated with the interaction, interpenetration and coexistence of ethnic cultures, societies in a modernizing reality

Purpose of the study: identifying the mechanisms of self-preservation of the Russian and Finno-Ugric Old Believer communities of the Ural-Volga region, ways of preserving and transmitting traditional values ​​and practices in them in a modern dynamic context.

The study considered the Old Believers' groups among Russians, Mordovians, Komi-Permians (Yazvins and Zyuzdins), who did not follow the same path of historical development and have a pronounced specificity within the framework of their ethnocultural traditions

The achievement of this goal was carried out by solving the following specific tasks:

coverage of the history of the formation and nature of the settlement of various ethnic groups of Old Believers (Russians, Mordovians, Chuvashes, Komi-Zyuzdins and Komi-Yazvins) on the territory of the Ural-Volga region, taking into account historical, geographical and socio-cultural factors,

identification of the main circumstances, reasons and general patterns of the penetration of Old Believers into a foreign cultural environment,

characteristics of external intergroup connections, the prevalence of mixed marriages, the nature of social, economic and household contacts with other religions), the degree of declared and real isolation of the Old Believer communities,

analysis of c) prevailing social and cultural stereotypes, appraisal and behavioral norms, common prescriptions and methods of their observance by modern Old Believers,

defining the role of confessional symbols and everyday phenomena in maintaining group boundaries,

identifying the degree of preservation of ancient forms of spiritual culture, the level of their leadership and ordinary members of Old Believer communities, ways of their intergenerational transmission (knowledge and observance of the canons, reading skills, hook singing, performance of spiritual poetry, etc.),

Consideration of the rites of passage (baptism and funeral
memorial complex) as a group marker and indicator of interculturalism
interactions,

study of ways to regulate life and implement interactions of Old Believer communities within the framework of individual agreements,

analysis of the internal structure of modern Old Believer communities (gender and age composition, hierarchy, status groups, leaders, social roles),

consideration of traditional narrative forms and narrative structure of modern eschatological legends and historical prose, their interpretive and adaptive functions in Old Believer culture

Chronological scope of the study in the historical part of the work extends deep into the end of the HUL century, that is, the time

the appearance of the Old Believers in the Volga-Ural region, however, in general, they cover the period from the middle of the 19th century to the present day (2006), which is due to the possibility of using an extensive corpus of archival and published sources, as well as the author's field material, for this period.

Territorial scope of research include two vast geographic zones The first is outlined by the natural boundaries of the Southern Urals - the territory of the modern Republic of Bashkortostan, Orenburg and part of the Chelyabinsk regions (former Orenburg and Ufa provinces) Until recently, this region was little known in Old Believer historiography and was covered only in a few works on history and culture of all Russian Old Believers. For more than ten years, I have been collecting field and archival material about the South Ural Old Believers - Russians (in the bulk) and Mordovians

The complication of research tasks and the need to attract additional materials on Old Believers among the Finno-Ugrians led to the expansion of the geographical scope of the study Compact groups of Komi-Perm Old Believers settled in the Middle Urals and the Urals - in the north of the Perm Territory (Krasnovishersky and Solikamsky districts) and the east of the Kirov region (Afanasyevsky district) In addition, material was used on the Chuvash Old Believers living in the Republic of Chuvashia (Shemurshinsky district) and in the Ulyanovsk region (Veshkayemsky district) These territories were not isolated from each other and were connected through a network of skete centers of both local and national importance

Theoretical approaches and methodology research. A characteristic feature of the development of domestic ethnological science at the current, post-Soviet stage has become a critical revision of its theoretical and methodological foundations, primarily the theory of ethnicity and the nature of ethnicity. BE Wiener, MN Guboglo, SE Rybakov, VA Tishkov, SV Cheshko, etc.) The great openness in the expression of their own views by Russian scientists, and the availability of previously unknown foreign theoretical developments led, on the one hand, to the absence of a generally accepted system of terms and categories, and, associated with this, research difficulties, on the other - to the recognition of the ambiguity of the nature of the ethnic phenomenon and the impossibility of considering it within the framework of only one methodological model

Today, most researchers recognize the need for a reasonable integration of various scientific theories and concepts and the relevance of complex interdisciplinary methods.In this regard, having determined the optimality for solving the problem of the adaptive approach posed in my study, I want to make a reservation that it does not have a rigid impenetrable framework and allows, depending on context, involving others, in particular, symbolic and phenomenological interpretations of concepts and phenomena (YM Lotman, P Berger, T Lukman, AL Gurevich, TA Bern-shtam)

Characterizing the theoretical developments used in this dissertation, I will dwell on some of the main provisions of the adaptive approach and the possibilities of its application to the study of the Old Believers. The main thing for him is the understanding of culture as a dynamic adaptive mechanism, or the ability to bring oneself in line with a changing environment. the introduction of the concept of "life support system" into the field of scientific research (VI Kozlov, SA Arutyunov), secondly, it stimulated the consideration in the framework of many humanitarian disciplines of the problems of sociocultural and psychological adaptation of various ethnic groups in the context of social transformations. Optimal ways of this process were determined, various characteristics were given, specific sociological and ethnopsychological studies were carried out (Yu V Harutyunyan, LM Drobizheva, VV Gritsenko, NM Lebedeva, etc.) It is no longer possible to list all the scientific works available today, carried out in this vein. complete and detailed historiographic survey p the problems of adaptation are presented in the monograph LV King (2005)

For my research, the most important is the understanding of tradition developed within the framework of the adaptation approach.In contrast to the value perception of tradition, which is often used in sociology as the opposition of modernization and progress (M. thanks to the selection of vital experience, its accumulation and spatio-temporal transmission, it makes it possible to achieve the stability necessary for the existence of social organisms "(ES Markaryan). the tradition was

was formulated by E.S. Markaryan, and was generally shared by most ethnologists. Tradition is interpreted broadly, almost synonymously with the concept of "culture" "(in my research also" Old Believer tradition "=" Old Believer culture ""), and as a dynamic interdependent process that includes changes and innovations that turn into a tradition in the course of development (S. A Arutyunov) In modern foreign science, S. Eisenstadt is in close positions, who singled out conservative and creative components in tradition, and used to explain the contradictions of tradition the theory of E Shils about the "central zone" of culture, which has a meaningful and ordering functions

The work also used the theoretical approaches to the study of the Old Believers outlined by R. Crummy in the context of modern discussions about "folk religion" and the consideration of the Old Believers as a "text community" consisting of a multitude of interconnected subcultures with complex synchronous and diachronous connections.

The works of the well-known researcher of the Volga-Ural region and the author of a number of serious theoretical works RG Kuzeev also had a great influence on this study.

The research methodology was based on a set of general scientific methods. A comparative historical method was used with the use of systemic and cross-cultural analysis when interpreting the material. a method that allows you to more fully convey the specifics of ethnographic material and the real context

The collection of field material was carried out on the basis of a qualitative approach, inclusive observation, in-depth and semi-structured interviews with a guidebook, which indicated the thematic blocks of the conversation with the research participants (VV Semenova, VA Yadov) These blocks corresponded to the identified research objectives The survey included two stages 1 ) interviews with the main ("key") informants and 2) the subsequent addition of the obtained results on certain issues from the secondary informants. When compiling the questionnaire, the programs of MM Gromyko, SV Kuznetsov, and V Buganov "Orthodoxy in Russian folk culture" were partially used, as well as T.A. Listova (according to native rituals) and I.A.

Another method of collecting information was photography and video filming, which made it possible to record in full the dynamic processes, material attributes of culture (religious and household items, clothing, the interior of residential and liturgical premises, premises). Aleksandrov, which is based on a trusting relationship between the researcher and cultural bearers.The method involves continuous shooting of plans of a relatively greater length, the use of synchronous sound, restrained editing

Historiography. To date, the historiographic heritage on the problems of the Old Believers is quite extensive, in this regard, this review includes only the literature that was directly used or had an indirect impact on the dissertation It is divided into thematic sections 1) general works on the Old Believers, 2) works devoted to non-Russian Old Believers, 3) published studies in which the problems of socio-cultural adaptation of Old Believer groups and the mechanisms of their self-preservation are raised to one degree or another

The first works about the Old Believers were written by representatives of the official Orthodox Church and Russian historical science and pursued exclusively accusatory and missionary goals. synodal works with polemical works of the Old Believers themselves, which give their own interpretations of the historical events that led to the split (I Filippov, FE Melnikov, IA Kirillov, VG Senatov, VP Ryabushinsky) The polemic tradition continued with the works of the modern Old Believer philosopher MO Shakhov

Since the middle of the 20th century, a new, so-called, democratic direction in the study of schism has been developing, when the Old Believers were viewed exclusively as a movement of social protest (AP Shchapov, SP Melgunov, AS Prugavin, etc.) then - during the Soviet period (VD Bonch-Bruevich) In addition, in the 19th century, the first works appeared in which the Old Believers are characterized as a kind of historical and cultural phenomenon of Russian life (NM Kostomarov, PN Milyukov)

In Soviet times, in accordance with the existing ideological guidelines, the Old Believers were viewed either from an atheistic standpoint, or as a form of antifeudal protest (A. Katunsky, VF Mi-

lovvdov) Serious in-depth research appeared at that time among the Russian emigration (S.A. Zenkovsky, A.V. Kartashov) A number of works by Soviet scientists devoted to medieval public consciousness have not lost their significance (A.I. Klibanov, K.V. Chistov, R.G. Pikhoya)

The most consistent study of the Old Believers, its handwritten tradition was carried out by domestic archaeographers, thanks to whom a huge number of monuments of Old Believer thought were introduced into scientific circulation, their detailed analysis was carried out (NN Pokrovsky, ND Zolnikova, IV Pozdeeva, EA Ageeva, EB Smilyanskaya, EM Smorgu -nova, IV Pochinskaya, AT Shashkov, VI Baidin, AG Mosin, EM Yukhimenko, etc.) Art critics, philologists and collectors of folklore addressed the topic of Old Believers (ON Bakhtina, SE Nikitina, NP Parfentiev, EA Buchilina, VL Klyaus and others)

In ethnographic terms, the material and spiritual culture of Old Believers living in the Perm Territory (IV Vlasov, SA Dimukhametova, IA Kremlev, TA Listov, TS Makashina, GN Chagin), Ust-Tsilma (TI Dronova), Siberia and the Far East (Yu V Argudyaeva, F F Bolonev, E E Fursova, etc.) A Lipinskaya), etc. Isolation of only certain aspects of culture and life when studying other regional groups of Old Believers somewhat complicates the general comparative analysis, but opens up opportunities for comparisons at a private detailed level (E E Blom-kvist, NP Grinkova, SK Sagnaeva, VP Fedorova )

Many works of foreign authors are devoted to the Old Believers (R Morris, R Robson, D Sheffel, R Krammy, E Nakamura, E Ivanets, V. Player, V Ryuk-Dravina, P Pascal)

As mentioned above, the next section of the historiographic review consists of works on Old Believers among the Finno-Ugric peoples. The most extensive historiography belongs to the Komi Old Believers. Sorokin Then, in the course of comprehensive studies of the ethnography of the Komi peoples in the 1940-1950s under the leadership of VN Belitser, field material was collected along the way in the Old Believer villages, although their confessional affiliation and features of religiosity were not the subject of special consideration.The following turned to the topic of interest

LN Zherebtsov and LP Lashuk, their works are united by the conclusion about the conservative influence of the Old Believers on the culture of the Zyryans.

Systematic and consistent research on Pechora, Vychegda and Vanga began already in the 1980s, when the folklore and graphic laboratory at Syktyvkar University was created by Syktyvkar scientists (AN Vlasov, TF Volkova, TA Dronova, TA Kaneva, PV Limerov, EV Procuratorova Yu V Saveliev, V E Sharapov) a series of collections was prepared with materials on the Old Believer book and manuscript tradition, the formation and functioning of individual communities, mentoring clans, the role of books in traditional culture The history and culture of local Old Believer groups among the Komi-Zyryans became the subject of dissertation research A A Chuvyurova and VV Vlasova

The ethno-confessional history of the Tikhvin Karelian Old Believers for three and a half centuries on the basis of the original field material and the revealed ar / geno-documentary!

Scientific research among the Old Believer groups of Perm began to be carried out already in the 1950s VN Belitser at that time wrote an essay on the material culture of the Komi-Zyuzdins.Modern scientific publications about this group are counted literally in units (I.Yu. Trushkova, GA Senkina), the rest belong to mainly pre-revolutionary authors In this regard, it was interesting to attract materials about the closest neighbors of the Zyuzdinsky Perm - the Yurlinsky group of Russians, subjected to a strong Old Believer influence (collective monograph by Bakhmatov AA, Podyukov NA, Khorobrikh SV, Chernykh AV, articles by IV Vlasova)

The culture of the Yazvinsky Perm was approached by philologists, who noted the vivid specificity of their dialect, these are, first of all, V.I Lytkin in the 1960s, then modern scientists (RM Batalova, EM Smorgunova) Numerous works of G.N. Chagin are devoted to the Yazvinsky. who, on the basis of many years of research, comes to important conclusions that the Yazvinsky, due to the specificity of their culture and language, can be considered not as an ethnographic group of Perm, but as one of the Komi peoples. Since 1972, a systematic work of the employees of the archaeographic laboratory has been carried out among the residents of Yazvina.

Moscow State University, research is reflected in a number of publications in the university series of publications devoted to the problems of Old Believers (articles by EM Smorgunova, VP Pushkov, IV Pozdeeva) Thus, today this is the most studied group of the Finno-Ugric Old Believers population in the Ural-Volga region However all aspects of the history and culture of the Komi-Yazvins are fully consecrated; their complex analogue is also required

There were practically no separate works devoted to the Old Believers among the Mordovians.Some information about sectarianism among the Mordovians and about the Old Believers of different accords, available in pre-revolutionary publications, were summarized by EN Mokshina Among other peoples of the Volga region, the Old Believers did not find much distribution and, accordingly, its influence on their traditional culture was insignificant. There is a statement about Old Believers among the Udmurts in Yu M Ivonin's book, E.F. Shumilov writes about them in more detail in a monograph on Christianity in Udmurtia. E Kudryashov singled out this phenomenon among the Chuvash as a special type of religious syncretism

Thus, the problem of non-Russian Old Believers in the Ural-Volga region, which is of great theoretical interest, was considered fragmentarily, there are practically no comprehensive studies, and the degree of study of various groups of Old Believers is not the same.In this regard, new studies in this area seem to be very promising.

In the third section of this historiographic review, works are noted in which, to one degree or another, problems are raised that are also solved in this dissertation. research This approach is typical, in particular, for the works of EA Ageeva, EV Smorgunova, IV Pozdeeva, EB Smilianskaya and others N Yu Bubnov, the Old Believers are defined as a culture-mediator between the Middle Ages and modern Europeanized Russia. the preservation of the ancient elements of Russian culture in the Old Believers, scientists note "the resilience, activity, dynamism, even just the cunningness of the Old Believer movement as a whole", which allow it to always be in accordance with a specific historical context.

communities and their ability to develop collective ways of responding to external changes that do not destroy their cultures, was also addressed by E. Nikitina on several occasions. R Morris characterizes the Old Believers as a kind of key to understanding the processes of convergence in the modern world

The problem of adaptation resources of the Old Belief was raised by EE Dut-chak, which emphasized the important role of the family in the processes of intergenerational transmission of traditional norms.

Source base of the study. An important source for the dissertation research was pre-revolutionary publications, which contain, to varying degrees of nationality, information about the schism in the investigated territory.The line between sources and historiography seems to be quite conditional here.In this regard, the work of N. Chernavsky on the Orenburg and IG Zolotoverkhovnikov-Ufa diocese is of great value

One of the active members of the Ufa missionary committee, NP Tyunin, published in 1889 a collection of personal conversations with the Old Believers, supplemented by the author's reflections and comments. about the well-known schismatic hermitages located on the territory of the Ural Cossack army can be extracted from the article P V Yudin The most detailed ethnographic essay on the Old Believers of the Southern Urals at the beginning of the XX century. is an article by DK Zelenin about runaways from Usen-Ivanovskoye of the Belebeevsky district of the Ufa province

The early history of Old Believers on the territory of the Perm province (from the end of the 17th to the second half of the 20th century) was described in detail by Archimandrite Pallady (Pyankov), his fundamental work, based on a huge number of almost all documents available at that time and eyewitness accounts, is still the most valuable and an objective source of information about Old Believer communities of various accords in all districts of the province (the appearance of the first sketes, biographies of famous priests and mentors), including about the Old Believer center in the Upper Yazva. notes of NP Beldytsky, about the Zyuzdinsky Perm people - an extensive ethnographic sketch of NP Steinfeld

Some data that allow localizing the Chuvash Old Believer groups in the Ural-Volga region are available in the articles

NV Nikolsky Fragmentary information about the Old Believers among the Mordovians is contained in the famous researcher MV Evseviev.

Another type of published sources used in this work are various periodicals.First of all, these are the diocesan and provincial bulletins that were regularly published in the 19th - early 20th century (the Orenburg, Ufa, Vyatka, Perm, Samara, Simbirsk records were used) In the reports of parish priests printed in them information about existing schisms and sects was mandatory placed.The first publications about Old Believers among the Finno-Ugric peoples of the Ural-Volga region appeared precisely in church periodicals, these were works written by Orthodox priests and having a predominantly missionary orientation It should be noted a series of articles by N Blinov about the Komi Perm, the work of M. Formakovsky, G. Selivanovsky A small note in "Simbirskiye vedomosti" became practically the only source of information about the group of Chuvash Old Believers, etc.

In addition, the dissertation actively used the Materials of the All-Russian Census of 1897, which partly contributed to the detection of a non-Russian element among the Old Believers of the region.

The fragmentation and insufficiency of the published materials at my disposal predetermined their auxiliary, secondary function.In the work, the volume of archival documentation is much more significant, in all the diversity of which several categories can be conditionally distinguished

The first type> "includes archival sources of a statistical nature. Throughout the entire existence of the Old Believers, many prescriptions were issued obliging local city and police departments to provide accurate information on the number of schismatics and their prayer houses. For a number of reasons, they do not carry objective statistical information, but they allow to localize Old Believer groups in settlements, sometimes to identify rumors and agreements, which was especially relevant for the almost unexplored Southern Urals in this regard.This kind of case, coupled with modern field material, formed the basis for the creation of maps of Old Believer beliefs and agreements, placed in the appendix, with with their help, the routes of modern expeditionary trips were planned

about the crimes of schismatics against the Orthodox Church, lists of those who have not been to confession, court cases about seducing Orthodox Christians into schism, about the capture of schismatic priests, the discovery of secret sketes and prayer houses, about half marriages, etc.

The next extensive group of materials was the registration documents of the Old Believer communities.The first stream of such cases was observed in the period from 1906 to 1915, that is, after the Imperial decree on freedom of religion in the Russian Empire, and the second - already in Soviet times, when the true goals of the atheist state were masked under the guise of registration During the Soviet period, another kind of sources was formed that illuminated directly opposite processes - the termination of the activities of Old Believer religious associations, the closure and transfer of churches and houses of worship for cultural institutions and economic needs. This also includes applications for registration of various groups and correspondence on this matter.

In general, the sources were examined, stored in nine archives - the Russian State Historical Archives. Archives of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg Branch), the Central State Historical Archives of the Republic of Bashkortostan, the State Archives of Public Associations of the Republic of Bashkortostan, current archives of the Councils for Religious Affairs under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus and administrative registrations of the Chelyabinsk and Orenburg Regions, the Central State Archives of the State Orenburg Region and Chelyabinsk Region More than two hundred cases brought in for analysis

Ethnographic collections, handwritten materials and photographs from the funds of regional museums of local lore were also an important source for writing the dissertation.

Despite the enormous importance of the archival data, the most extensive group of sources was made up of the materials of the author's field ethnographic studies, collected during individual expedition trips.About 80 settlements on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan (1996-2005) and Chuvashia (2005), Chelyabinsk (2001) were covered. -2005), Orenburg (2001-2004), Perm (2004-2005), Kirov (2004-2005), Ulyanovsk (2006) regions The list of settlements is given in the appendix The dissertation used transcripts of audio and video interviews with informants, photographs (portraits of leaders and ordinary members of communities, elements of worship, subject attributes of culture, religious buildings, etc.), video filming of religious rites, processes of making ritual and household items

Scientific novelty of the research. Fundamentally new is the solution to the problem posed - identifying the mechanisms of self-preservation of Old Believer communities - using the example of various ethnocultural environments, since the attraction of material on the Finno-Ugric groups of Old Believers and a multi-level comparative analysis with control groups of Russian Old Believers and representatives of the studied peoples who do not belong to the Old Believer confession are carried out in ethnology for the first time

In many ways, the object of research is also new - the Old Believers among the Finno-Ugric peoples.In particular, no special work has been devoted to the Old Believers among the Mordovians to date, and research among the Komi-Zyuzdins, reflected in only a few articles, was carried out in the middle of the past century.

In the dissertation, for the first time, previously unknown archival sources and original field material are introduced into scientific circulation, which makes it possible to fill in the gaps in domestic science, and provides specific data for scientific generalizations.

Practical significance."The materials of the dissertation can be used to popularize knowledge about the Old Believers, when drawing up curricula and manuals on the history and traditional culture of the East Slavic and Finno-Ugric peoples of the Ural-Volga region, used to draw up confessional maps. The scientific information contained in the dissertation can become the basis for the development of general and special courses in universities, as well as for educational and educational activities in museums and national-cultural societies

Approbation of the study. The main provisions of the dissertation were outlined by the author in reports and messages at international, all-Russian, regional conferences and congresses, in printed works, discussed at the Center for the Study of Interethnic Relations of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences

The structure of the thesis. The study consists of an introduction, four chapters, a conclusion, a list of references, a list of abbreviations and five appendices. Appendices contain a list of settlements in which field research was carried out, maps and photons, extracts from archival documents, a dictionary of special terms

Old Believers among the Russian population

The territory of the Urals, due to its remoteness from the Russian center, as well as due to its natural and geographical features (inaccessible mountains and dense forests), seemed convenient for settlement to the Old Believers who were hiding from persecution2. The attractiveness of the region was enhanced by its low economic and cultural development. In this regard, the repressive measures taken by the state in relation to large Old Believer centers were accompanied by an influx of schismatics here. The beginning of the process is considered to be the time after the defeat of Kerzhenets (1722) 3.

The Old Believers who fled from Kerzhenets (mainly priests of the Sofontiev trend4), in addition to secret sketes, settled in a special settlement of the Yaik Cossack army - the Shatsky monastery5. The Old Believers were not brought to the Cossacks from the outside, but existed from antiquity as an organic form of their religious outlook. “The isolated position on the far outskirts of Russia contributed to the fact that while in the middle of the 17th century. in Russia, monotonous and newly-corrected rituals and books were introduced, the Ural ... Cossacks continued to live by the customs and rituals of the 14th century, inherited from their ancestors, considering them as a shrine, to deviate from which seemed treason and sin, ”wrote N Chernavsky1.

Only at the end of the 18th century, a certain isolation of the Cossack society was broken by the appearance of an "alien element", albeit insignificant. The first Orthodox church was erected only in 1831 at the initiative of the Orenburg clergy. Accordingly, the persecuted Old Believers always found a safe refuge among the Urals. Apparently, it was with this circumstance that two unsuccessful attempts to establish a separate Ufa diocese (in 1666 and 1681) were associated, the main argument in favor of the necessity of which was the struggle against schism.

The adherence of the Yaik Cossacks to the Old Believers is confirmed by both the testimonies of contemporaries and later archival materials. In the "Report of the Orenburg province for 1832 on the part of the Executive Police Department" it was said that "... the Cossacks of the Ural Army, all in general with their wives and children, are Old Believers" 4. And in the statistical reports for 1840, the presence of more than thirty thousand schismatics was recorded in 126 Cossack settlements of the Ural region (villages, outposts, umets and farms). Most of them were in the cities of Uralsk (6,465 people) and Guryev (1,433 people), Sakmarskaya stanitsa (2,275 people), outposts Rubezhny (765 people), Genvartsovsky (699 people), Kruglozerny (681 people). ), Irtetsky (561 people), Krugly (405 people), Sakharnaya fortress (501 people) .5 According to the data of 1872, the number of Old Believers in the Ural Cossack army significantly exceeded the number of adherents of official Orthodoxy (in the form of unanimity) - 46 347 and 32,062 people respectively1. In the Orenburg Cossacks, which are also “fairly infected with schism,” this correspondence was 8,899 Old Believers per 61,177 Orthodox Christians2.

The spread of the Old Believers in the region under study proceeded in parallel with the processes of Russian colonization of the region. Resettlement wave of the 30-40s of the 18th century. captured the territory of modern Chelyabinsk and Kurgan (Shadrinsky district) regions, i.e. the former Isetskaya province 3. In the early period, the Dolmatov Monastery was the seat of the Old Believers. His abbot Isaac Mokrinsky provided land holdings for the fugitives to live. In 1669, according to some sources, Isaac was even removed from dignity4, and the monastery was later assigned a significant role in eradicating the schism. As the Russians settled, it penetrated deeper and deeper into the aforementioned province and turned from secret to obvious. So, in the course of the second revision, carried out in 1738 with the aim of bringing the schismatics into a double salary, 1116 souls were recorded6.

A powerful impetus for a new influx of the Russian population to the South Urals was the activity of the Orenburg expedition in the 30-40s. XVIII century, when six lines of fortresses were built with the center in Orenburg7. The inhabitants of the latter were soldiers of garrison regiments, Ufa, Samara, Isetsk and Yaik Cossacks, as well as servicemen from the abolished Zakamsky line. Exiles and fugitives were also used.

It was easy for the disgraced Old Believers to get lost in this motley mass. All these people subsequently formed the core of the Orenburg army, a significant part of which was also recruited from the newly arrived Great Russian peasants1.

An interesting document has survived that clearly illustrates the attitude of the population of some fortresses (in this case, Chelyabinsk) to the official church. From the report of Prince A.A. Putyatin to the Isetsk voivode Khrushchev follows that the stone church founded in 1748 in the city of Chelyab “for failure to work for people” even in 1764, i.e. 16 years later (!) it was not built: "... even then the local Cossacks are deviated into the Schism, then it may be that they are not zealous for the construction of that church ..." 2.

Along with the movement of the Cossacks to new lands, the Old Believer creed also spread. In numerous notes on the state of the split in the Orenburg province, there are remarks about the time and reasons for its appearance: “Popovtsy, mostly Cossacks, came to Sakmarskaya during the settlement of their village from Uralsk; the schismatics were resettled to Loose Street in the 18th century from the Don for outrage; ... of the Don schismatics settled in Burannaya and other places along the river. Ile-ku "3; "In st. Giryalskaya and Ilinskaya schismatics appeared from the time of the formation of villages from the Samara province ”4; “In the Preobrazhenskaya and Aleksandrovskaya volosts (Troitsk uyezd. - ED), a split was brought in by the Cossacks of the Sakmarskaya stanitsa of the Ural Cossack army, when the peasants were leaving for Sakmarsk under the guise of work” 5, etc.

Monasteries and parishes

The study of any historical and cultural phenomenon within the framework of the adaptation approach involves considering the relationship between the subject and the object of adaptation, that is, the external environment and the community. The external environment sets the rules and restrictions according to which the social system functions, acts as a source of resources, without which it cannot carry out adaptation activities and, finally, changes in the environment, in fact, initiate the adaptive process1.

The formation of specific features in the essentially Orthodox religious tradition of the Old Believers was primarily due to the peculiarities of historical development. The lack of conditions among the Old Believers for its legal, full-fledged functioning directly affected the organization of church life, when the state of religious institutions is not stable and is in the strongest dependence on state policy. Sociologists classify adaptation strategies developed by communities in such an aggressive atmosphere as forced, or defensive, when maintaining the integrity of a group is associated with an inevitable change in the ways of interacting with the environment while maintaining generally old, traditional goals and values2.

Government decrees prohibiting the construction of prayer buildings, the organization of prayer houses in private houses, restricting the movement of priests, etc., significantly hampered the existence of confessional communities. If the activity of official Orthodoxy was concentrated around large monasteries, urban and rural parish churches, then with regard to the Old Believers the question was somewhat different. The functions of religious centers here were performed by sketes or secret monasteries, which, being also banned (since 1745), were constantly being destroyed.

Initially, monasteries proper, where only monastics lived, and sketes, small settlements near them, in which laymen of both sexes were allowed to live together, were distinguished. After the abolition of large Old Believer communities (in particular, Vyga), the term “skete” combined these concepts. Many of the monks who lived there went to the hard-to-reach forests ("deserts"), then new fugitives, sometimes whole families joined them, so a secret settlement with its own small farm was gradually formed1. In the region under study, almost all forest monasteries and single cells were called hermitages.

The spread of the Old Believers, together with the colonization flows of the Russian peasant population, led to the spontaneous addition within a part of the immigrants, united by a single creed, syncretic (church-worldly) settlement structures or parish-type communities, consisting of related or neighboring collectives. Small monasteries - sketes acted as their sacred consolidating centers. In general, the formation of peasant communities around sacral centers, created on the initiative of the bottom and on worldly support, was typical of the sparsely populated territories of Russia that were just beginning to develop. So, T.A. Bernshtam distinguishes two types of parish organizations: church, or canonical, and chapel - folk in origin, but gradually legalized by church custom. Chapel parishes existed for a long time in the North, but their activities did not suit the official church, which, not without reason, feared the use of chapels as Old Believers' prayer houses.

Mainly from the sketes, the Old Believer creed also penetrated into the alien environment. As described above, the Old Believers were brought to the Yazvinsk Komi-Permians by several monks who arrived from the Nizhne-Tagil factories and founded 50 versts from the village. Verkhne-Yazvinsky small monastery. In the same way, thanks to the missionary activity of the Old Believer monks from the sketes located in the immediate vicinity of the Perm repairs, the Komi-Zyuzdin settlements were also "infected with schism". Similar processes accompanied the formation of ethno-confessional groups on the basis of the Old Believers and among the Komi-Zyryans1.

Materials concentrated in regional archives, mainly various investigative cases of schismatics, reports, notes and reports of local administrations contain extensive information about the Old Believer sketes and secret prayer houses. Archival documents make it possible to reveal their geography, approximate quantitative and social composition, as well as to trace the relationship between distant Old Believer centers.

Most of the sketes were concentrated in areas of compact settlement of Old Believers. So, according to the "Report on the movement of the split in the Ural Cossack army for 1848" at that time there were seven sketes on the territory of the army. They were located in close proximity to the Cossack settlements: on Rakov Island, one and a half versts from the Borodino outpost, on Kizlyarsky Island, four versts from the same outpost, on Mitryasov Island, seven versts from Iletsk. Five versts from the Budarin outpost was the Budarinsky skete, seven versts from the city of Uralsk - Sadovsky, three versts from the Gnilovsky umet - the Gnilovsky and, finally, the most famous Sergievsky skete was located twenty versts from the same Gnilovsky umet. They had six prayer houses, as well as wooden huts-cells. In the largest Sadovsky women's skete there were 40 huts and two prayer houses, in Kizlyarsky - 20 residential buildings, in the rest - from 10 to 15 cells. The total number of inhabitants was 151 people, of which 118 were women and 33 were men, there were novices and novices1. For known reasons, the provided statistical data cannot be considered absolutely accurate.

Secret Old Believer monasteries in the Ural region have been known for a long time and repressive measures have been taken against them more than once. In the course of the persecution of the Old Believers who were hiding on Yaik and in the Irgiz monasteries, the schismatic settlement in the Yaitsky town - the Shatsky monastery (about 1741) was destroyed. Sergievsky Skete, which could "surpass any of the most ancient Orthodox monasteries in Russia with its profitability" and, being "the main breeding ground of the Ural Beglopopovism", also went bankrupt many times. In 1830, together with the women's Gnilovsky skete, it was destroyed, and some of the monks and the abbot were imprisoned in an Orthodox monastery. However, the restoration of the monasteries took place, apparently, rather quickly. According to archival data, already in 1848, there were already 16 cells in the Gnilovsky skete, and I3 in Sergievsky. The latter circumstance was also explained by the fact that the split was popular not only among ordinary Cossacks, but also among the “highest Ural aristocracy”, which, according to local officials, “was not always convenient and possible to fight”. In the event of another threat, the hermitages were immediately warned of the impending danger4.

Regarding the Sadovsky Women's Skete, it is known that it “was established by hermits, along with others in places previously poorly inhabited,” approximately at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. already consisted of two relatively large settlements. In the mentioned year, a fire broke out in one of them, while 35 buildings burned down. However, the rest of the buildings survived, and the second neighboring skete was not hit by fire at all2, which made it possible for its further functioning.

Ethnocultural interaction of Old Believer communities and directions of interaction

The place of paradise is defined above, high in the sky. In spiritual verses, the image of paradise, located on a high glass mountain, was established. The way there is comprehended in the context of Christian concepts of spiritual ascent and asceticism, through fasting and prayer, the fight against sinful things: “After all, every step is a sin, everything that we do, we think, is a sin. So we need to pray, and everything should be done as it should, then only to heaven. It’s good there, but we don’t get there ”. At the same time, the road to heaven can be imagined as overcoming very specific obstacles - a slippery, smooth surface on which you need to climb, the weight pressing on the shoulders when lifting (sins) is tangible, almost material (“pulling, pulling down, heavy like stones "). The need to be prepared for such difficulties is often explained by the custom of collecting cut nails during life and putting them in a coffin to the deceased: “So that there is something to catch on, so that it’s easier to climb” 1. Here, a tendency is expressed for the text to enter the sphere of actual beliefs, designed to explain, motivate ritual norms, everyday prescriptions, and identify their origin.

In the popular mind, complex multilayered texts are constructed on biblical topics, including etiological legends that appeal to the Holy Scriptures. So, several such legends are contained in the composition of the widespread narrative about the Flood, they justify why different animals that were on the ark should be treated differently. For example; “If a mouse gets into a dish, it must be thrown away. She's not a good animal. She began to gnaw the floor in the ark. The tiger sneezed, a cat jumped out of its nostrils and ran after the mouse. And the frog sat on the hole, covered it with itself, because the ark did not drown. They saved people. They must be respected. "

The narrative motivation of some religious and everyday prohibitions and prescriptions, their moralizing aspect are also found in the gospel stories. For example, the prohibition to wash and generally work on church holidays: “Mary Magdalene, the harlot, has gathered in a church on a hill. There was a woman splashing around, and she condemned the sinner, well, mentally condemned. She went into the desert. And the condemning woman rinsed on a big holiday. She herself was disappointed, but she herself also did not follow the rules. I went to hell. " Rituals, various ritual actions accompanying church holidays, their appearance and the need to observe, are also associated with Sacred history and are grounded in folklore texts. For example, the custom of painting eggs for Easter: “Christ painted an egg with his blood and then distributed it to his disciples. He gave and said: "Christ is risen!" Therefore, it is necessary to paint the eggs, from there it started ”2. Thus, the “folk Bible” is thematically much broader than its canonical original, and folk etiology serves as its structure-forming elements1.

A characteristic feature of oral retelling of sacred texts is the simplification of complex theological concepts, their approximation to the realities of peasant life, and the use of clear, simple categories. So the thesis of the virgin birth and virginity of the Mother of God is transformed as follows: “She (the Mother of God), when Jesus gave birth to Christ, was a virgin. She was a virgin both by birth and by death. She's not from the place that everyone else got, but from here ... (points to his armpit). And after death a virgin. " In the mouth of the holy virgin are put the common expressions, widespread in the rural environment, with which she explains her surprise at the mission that has fallen to her: “The Mother of God said two years earlier: I could wash her feet and drink water. "

The "simplification" of sacred history sometimes also occurs due to the mixing in oral legends on biblical themes of various narrative genres that determine the manner and style of presentation. So, the story of Lot, told in the Komi-Yazvinsky village, is close in genre to the everyday tale of a savvy peasant who outwitted the devil: “Lot ... was, brother Noah. And he ended up in hell, asked God to help him, and God: "You yourself are cunning, you yourself will jump out." I thought, I thought. He took a stick and began to measure hell. One way, the other. I made a cross from a stick. Satan says to him: "What are you measuring?" "I want to build a church here." "Ah well!" And threw it out of hell like a cork. "

In the Old Believers' code of the "People's Bible", a number of especially significant events in sacred history, turning, crisis stages, symbolically repeating the time of creation, are highlighted. At the same time, the set of plots subject to interpretation and further broadcasting, the placement of accents in the oral interpretation of written texts seem to be non-random and specific to the Old Believer tradition. The formation of a historical narrative or autobiographical narrative takes place, according to B.A. Uspensky, thanks to a system of communicative filters that filter out insignificant elements of experience and construct this experience in the form in which it can be suitable for social use1. The described pattern manifests itself, first of all, at the macro level, at the level of selection of written texts included in the communication process. As field materials show, the sacred history is considered by the Old Believers in the same vein with the history of schism, correlates with it, and the texts are based on a search for analogies between biblical events and post-schism events. Thus, the oral retelling of the flood legend turns out to be directly related to the Old Believer eschatology, punishment for sins and a new expectation of the end of the world: “There used to be a worldwide flood. People lived as strange as they are now. They walked around naked, lewd. That is why the flood, God could not stand it. 40 days and 40 nights lasted. Then everything dried up. Then God spoke to such people, only he was not visible. There will be no more flood, there will be a rainbow and the end of the world. " The legend of the construction of the Tower of Babel is associated among the Old Believers with the division of faiths after the Nikon reform, and in the Biblical Exodus the story of the persecution of the old faith and the scattering of its adherents around the world is seen. We will return to these stories below.

Sacred history and history of schism in oral tradition

The carriers of each cultural and religious tradition broadcast a certain type of vision and perception of the surrounding world. Many researchers regard the Old Believer culture as the successor of the Russian Middle Ages, which explains the events of the present from the point of view of the religious and philosophical worldview of that time, thereby turning the “heritage of Ancient Rus into the property of a new Europeanized Russia” 1.

In the course of historical development, the Old Believers were formed as a kind of ethnocultural phenomenon, at one pole of which is the bookish church culture, at the other - folk everyday life. The interaction of these two principles - book and folk - is known to give rise to structures that are complex in semantic and formal terms.

Field ethnographic materials collected among the Old Believers of the Ural-Volga region (Russians, Permian Komi and Mordovians) include various oral works. These are records of informants' reasoning on historical topics, retellings of popular stories from Scripture. Most of them have written analogies, both canonical and apocryphal. However, at the same time, they are examples of a fairly free interpretation of well-known texts, built according to the laws of the development of traditional or mythologized consciousness.

Almost the majority of the retelling works are apocrypha, the book tradition of their existence is actually associated with the Old Believers. A well-known researcher of ancient literacy wrote in this connection: “Old Believers copied word for word in their notebooks non-canonical works from ancient collections, which were valued like everything pre-Nikon. Of course, the Old Believers from the people were close to the simply and clearly stated - and, moreover, colored with fascinating fantastic details - the plots of the bookishness that had passed from the grandfathers ”1.

The use of even the most "historical" folklore genres (epics, historical songs, etc.) for the reconstruction of real events of the distant past has always been controversial, since creativity is based on special artistic laws, first of all, on the repeated repetition of archaic models, their typological continuity in later transformations. In this regard, I regard the “historical” texts of the Old Believers, including scenes from the sacred history and the history of the schism itself, exclusively as sources for studying the specifics of their worldview, as well as the peculiarities of the functioning of the Old Believer culture in general.

Old Believers, like other confessional groups, see the world around them through the prism of Scripture, which they turn to in various situations, to explain certain phenomena, make important decisions, confirm their own judgments, etc. In this case, secondary texts (metatext), CE are formed. Nikitina calls them “hermeneutic” 1, which reflect the mental characteristics of the entire community through the individual characteristics of the narrator (informant), through the rhetorical techniques he uses, the choice of plots, keywords, and emphasis on certain events.

There are two types of sources on the basis of which modern historical legends are created. These are traditional stable plots that were recorded by collectors of the 19th - early 20th centuries, gleaned from sacred texts (the Bible, Lives of Saints, Menaion, etc.), various apocrypha, handwritten stories, spiritual poems, popular prints. Another type of sources is already modern and characterized by a huge variety. An impulse for living folk art can be TV and radio programs "about the divine", sermons of priests, newspaper and magazine articles, illustrations in textbooks, etc. In addition, stories from secular literature and ordinary everyday situations heard from fellow villagers, acquaintances or neighbors can be interpreted in a "divine" key. The composition of the primary sources, on the one hand, testifies to the stability of the tradition, on the other, to its flexibility and adaptive abilities.

The relationship between written and spoken text can be different. This usually depends on the personality of the narrator. The greatest degree of closeness to the original text is characteristic of narratives written from mentors, priests, or ordinary members of communities who are well acquainted with the Holy Scriptures. The stability and similarity of images is nourished by the book tradition, however, the methods of their intergenerational transmission, as observations show, are largely based on a developed oral culture. Often, storytellers make only indirect references to written sources. Their acquaintance with the texts did not take place through independent study (reading), but in the process of communication. Information could have been obtained many years ago, in childhood, from older relatives: “My grandfather read such a book to us, they write a lot of interesting things, but we don’t have those books now”; “The old people told us, they had such books, special ones,” and so on.

Actually, for the folk tradition it does not seem essential in which book the retold story was recorded. Reference is made to a book in general, a book containing any knowledge in the field of Christianity. The epithet “old” is usually added to the description of such a “Book”. “It is written in old books” is the most widespread rhetorical device that precedes a story or is interspersed into its canvas. In the Old Believer culture, the old, as opposed to the new, is equivalent to unconditionally correct, authoritative, time-tested. To confirm the truth of the story, a double appeal to the “old” is often used: “this is all taken from old books. Old people told. After all, they were blessed with the divine, not like we are now ”2.

Dissertation introduction (part of the abstract) on the topic "Mechanisms of self-preservation of Russian and Finno-Ugric Old Believer communities of the Ural-Volga region"

Relevance of the research: Until recently, one of the features of the Russian socio-cultural context was the situation of a sharp break in religious traditions that arose as a result of the radical atheism of the Soviet period. Over the past decades, this situation has changed significantly, and since the late 1980s, enough time has passed for many traditions to be restored, and religious institutions returned to their former functions. However, it is perhaps too early to speak about the complete overcoming of this gap. Ethnic groups, in whose traditional culture there is a great confessional component, still feel it in the intergenerational transmission of sacred knowledge, religious practices and their meanings, in the absence of religious socialization. In addition, involved in the dynamic transformation processes taking place in the context of globalization and modernization, such communities today are experiencing difficulties of a different plan.

In addition to the so-called "main" religions - Orthodoxy and Islam, as well as many "new" trends that have appeared in recent years, in the modern ethno-confessional mosaic of Russia, one can distinguish a group of traditional religions that are not widely spread today, but have played a significant role in Russian history. The latter include, in particular, the Old Believers. For objective reasons, such groups, which did not retain even a minimum base for growth during the Soviet period (clergy personnel, educational institutions, religious buildings) and did not enjoy external support, found themselves in a rather difficult situation. Their survival entirely depends only on internal adaptive resources and self-preservation mechanisms developed in the course of historical development.

Old Believer culture seeks to maximize the actualization of heritage, and tradition is the most important way of structuring collective experience. In the mental sphere, traditionalism is expressed in the use by Old Believers of the categories of mythologized (medieval) consciousness to explain historical realities and modern reality, a kind of interpretation of book texts, and the existence of utopian legends. This principle is clearly demonstrated by the high degree of preservation of the ancient forms of worship and accompanying attributes. Adherence to antiquity is observed in oral and musical folklore, in aesthetic preferences (canonical iconography and architectural types), in the archaic way of life and rituals of the life cycle, the abundance of Old Slavs in Old Believer dialects, etc.

As you know, due to the binary thinking of believers, the semantic series of “traditional” and “modern” are always value-matched, and therefore, in the collective consciousness, there is usually a certain ideal type of “ancient tradition” (synonymous with “pure”, “unclouded”), which in contact with modernity is threatened. The concept of "canon purity", sealed by sacred authority, underlies the self-determination of any religious institutions, and those for which traditionalism is of particular value associate this purity with the need to preserve the faith of ancestors. For them, the problem of finding new forms of translation of traditional norms in modern dynamic reality is on a par with the problem of self-preservation of the group as an integrity. Consequently, the absence of such an opportunity threatens them with the erosion of identity and the loss of selfhood. In this regard, the questions seem to be extremely topical: what are the mechanisms of such self-preservation, in what particular forms (practices) do they find their expression, and, finally, are they capable of ensuring the stable existence of such ethno-confessional formations today? It should be noted that the mechanisms of self-preservation in this work are understood as a set of unique states and processes, interdependent and in a certain subordination, aimed at maintaining group integrity and balance between the social system and the environment.

The aspects of the features of self-preservation of closed religious communities considered in this dissertation work as an object of research are of great scientific interest already due to their novelty and little study. So, in public opinion and among the majority of scientists, the Old Believers are defined only as a Russian religious movement. However, being one of the forms of Christianity, it was not an exclusively Russian phenomenon and was quite widespread among a number of Finno-Ugric and some Turkic peoples. On the territory of the Ural-Volga region, most of the non-Russian Old Believers were among the Mordovians and Komi-Permians, a small number among the Udmurts and Chuvashes. This is evidenced by various written sources, in particular, published materials of the All-Russian census of 1897. Similar groups with cultural specificity still exist and need comprehensive research. The penetration of the Old Believers into different ethnocultural environments undoubtedly influenced the existence of the environment itself, transformed it and introduced new elements. At the same time, it modified itself, pouring out into other forms in the process of adaptation to the real environment. The cultural specificity of the groups that adopted the Old Believers largely contributed to the selection of new subdivisions within ethnic groups (in the case of ethnographic groups of the Permian Komi - Yazvinsky and Zyuzdinsky). Today, the problem of self-preservation for such groups, which are under the threat of Russian assimilation, cannot be considered apart from the question of their confessional affiliation.

Thus, the consideration of the Old Believers as a phenomenon aimed at the reproduction of traditions precisely in different ethnocultural environments allows solving complex theoretical problems associated with the interaction, interpenetration and coexistence of ethnic cultures and identifying general patterns of self-preservation of traditional societies in a modernizing reality.

Purpose of the study: to identify the mechanisms of self-preservation of the Russian and Finno-Ugric Old Believer communities of the Ural-Volga region, ways of translating traditional values ​​and practices in them in a modern dynamic context. To increase the degree of representativeness of the study, the Old Believers' groups were studied among Russians, Mordovians, Komi-Permians (Yazvinsky and Zyuzdinsky), who did not go through the same path of historical development and have a pronounced specificity within the framework of their ethnocultural traditions.

This goal was achieved by solving the following specific tasks:

Coverage of the history of the formation and nature of the settlement of various ethnic groups of Old Believers (Russians, Mordovians, Chuvashes, Komi-Zyuzdins and Komi-Yazvins) in the Ural-Volga region, taking into account historical, geographical and socio-cultural factors;

Revealing the main circumstances, reasons and general patterns of the Old Believers' penetration into the foreign cultural environment;

Characteristics of external intergroup ties (the prevalence of mixed marriages, the nature of social, economic and household contacts with other religions), the degree of declared and real isolation of the Old Believer communities;

Analysis of existing socio-cultural stereotypes, appraisal and behavioral norms, everyday prescriptions and methods of their observance by modern Old Believers;

Determining the role of confessional symbols and everyday phenomena in maintaining group boundaries;

Revealing the degree of preservation of ancient forms of spiritual culture, the level of their leadership and ordinary members of Old Believer communities, methods of their intergenerational transmission (knowledge and observance of the canons, reading skills, hook singing, performance of spiritual poetry, etc.);

Consideration of the rites of passage (baptism and funeral and memorial complex) as a group marker and indicator of intercultural interactions;

Study of ways to regulate life and implement interactions of Old Believer communities within the framework of individual agreements;

Analysis of the internal structure of modern Old Believer communities (gender and age composition, hierarchy, status groups, leaders, social roles);

Consideration of traditional narrative forms and narrative structure of modern eschatological legends and historical prose, their interpretive and adaptive functions in the Old Believer culture.

The chronological framework of the study in the historical part of the work extends back to the end of the 17th century, that is, the time of the appearance of the Old Believers in the Volga-Ural region, but in general they cover the period from the middle of the 19th century. to the present day (2006), which is due to the possibility of using for this period an extensive corpus of archival and published sources, as well as the author's field material.

The territorial scope of the study includes two broad geographic areas. The first is outlined by the natural borders of the Southern Urals, which include the territories of the modern Republic of Bashkortostan, the Orenburg and part of the Chelyabinsk regions (the former Orenburg and Ufa provinces). Until recently, this region was little known in Old Believer historiography and was included only in isolated works on the history and culture of the entire Russian Old Believers. In addition, the Southern Urals, where peoples of East Slavic, Turkic and Finno-Ugric origin have long coexisted in close contact, is interesting for revealing the historical experience of adaptation of Old Believers in a foreign cultural and non-confessional environment. For more than ten years I have been collecting field and archival material about the South Ural Old Believers - Russians (in the bulk) and Mordovians.

The increasing complexity of research tasks and the need to attract additional materials on non-Russian Old Believers led to the expansion of the geographical scope of the study. Compact groups of Komi-Perm Old Believers are settled in the Middle Urals and the Urals - in the north of the Perm Territory (Krasnovishersky and Solikamsky Districts) and in the east of the Kirov Region (Afanasyevsky District). In addition, material on the Chuvash Old Believers settled in the Republic of Chuvashia (Shemurshinsky district) and Ulyanovsk region (Veshkayemsky district) was used. These territories were not isolated from each other and were connected through a network of skete centers of both local and all-Russian importance.

Theoretical approaches and research methodology. A characteristic feature of the development of domestic ethnological science at the present, post-Soviet stage has become a critical revision of its theoretical and methodological foundations, primarily the theory of ethnos and the nature of ethnicity. Numerous discussions on this matter were reflected in the pages of professional publications and author's monographs1.

The great openness in the expression of their own views by Russian scientists, and the availability of previously unknown foreign theoretical developments led, on the one hand, to the absence of a generally accepted system of terms and categories and the associated research difficulties, on the other, to the recognition of the ambiguity of the nature of the ethnic phenomenon and the impossibility of considering it within the framework of only one methodological model. According to D.A. Funka, “every researcher who literally grew up“ surrounded ”by established methods and methodologies, and trying to find his own way, inevitably finds himself outside the usual scientific paradigms, at least outside any one of them” 2.

Today, most researchers recognize the need for a reasonable integration of various scientific theories and concepts and the relevance of complex interdisciplinary methods. In this regard, having determined the optimality for solving the problem of the adaptive approach posed in my study, I want to make a reservation that it does not have a rigid impenetrable framework and allows, depending on the context, the involvement of others, in particular, symbolic and phenomenological interpretations of concepts and phenomena3.

Characterizing the theoretical developments used in this dissertation, let us dwell on some of the main provisions of the adaptive approach and the possibilities of its application to the study of the Old Believers. The main thing for him is the understanding of culture as a dynamic adaptive mechanism, or the ability to bring oneself in line with a changing environment. This understanding, firstly, served as an impetus for the development since the 1970s in domestic and foreign ethnology of new directions, in particular, ethnoecology, and the introduction of the concept of "life support system" 1 into the field of scientific research, and secondly, it stimulated consideration within the framework of many humanitarian disciplines, problems of socio-cultural and psychological adaptation of various ethnic groups in the context of social transformations. The optimal ways of this process were determined, various characteristics were given, specific sociological and ethnopsychological studies were carried out2. It is no longer possible to list all the scientific works available today, carried out in this vein. The most complete and detailed historiographic review of the problem of adaptation is presented in the monograph by L.V. Korel.

For my research, the most important is the understanding of tradition developed within the framework of the adaptive approach. In contrast to the value perception of tradition, which is often used in sociology as the opposition of modernization and progress, in the considered approach, tradition is defined as a way of reproduction of culture or “a universal mechanism that, due to the selection of life experience, its accumulation and spatially

Understood in this way, tradition turns out to be closely related to the mechanisms of self-preservation and the problems of socio-cultural adaptation. In the domestic humanities, for the first time such a view of tradition was formulated by E.S. Markarian and was generally shared by the majority of scientists. Tradition is interpreted broadly, almost synonymously with the concept of "culture" (in my research also "Old Believer tradition" = "Old Believer culture"), and as a dynamic interdependent process that includes changes and innovations that turn into a tradition in the course of development3. In modern foreign science, S. Eisenstadt has similar positions, who singled out conservative and creative components in the tradition4 and used the theory of E. Shils about the “central zone” of culture, which has meaningful and ordering functions, to explain the contradictions of tradition ”5.

The work also used the theoretical approaches to the study of the Old Believers outlined by R. Crummy in the context of modern discussions about "folk religion" and the consideration of the Old Believers as a "text community" consisting of many interconnected subcultures with complex synchronous and diachronous connections6.

The research methodology was based on a set of general scientific methods. A comparative historical method was used with the use of systemic and cross-cultural analysis in the interpretation of the material. My approach can also be described as typological, since I tried to find similarities and differences between similar ethno-confessional groups. And, finally, a descriptive method was used, which made it possible to more fully convey the specifics of the ethnographic material and the real context.

The collection of field material was carried out on the basis of a qualitative approach: participatory observation and a semi-structured interview with a guide, in which the problem-thematic blocks of the conversation with the research participants were indicated3. The indicated blocks corresponded to the selected research objectives. The survey consisted of two stages: 1) interviews with the main (“key”) informants and 2) the subsequent addition of the results obtained on separate questions from the secondary informants. In compiling the questionnaire, the programs of M.M. Gromyko, C.B. Kuznetsova, A.B. Buganov "Orthodoxy in Russian folk culture", as well as T.A. Listova (by native rituals) and I.A. Kremlin (according to funeral rituals) 4, supplemented and adapted to Old Believer material.

Another way of collecting information was photography and video filming, which made it possible to record in full the dynamic processes, material attributes of culture (religious and household items, clothing, the interior of residential and liturgical premises). When conducting video filming, developed by E.V. Aleksandrov, the method of "consonant camera", which is based on a trusting relationship between the researcher and cultural bearers, which allows them to maintain a natural behavior. The method involves continuous shooting of plans of a relatively large length, the use of synchronous sound, restrained editing1.

Historiography. The initial stage in comprehending any scientific problem is the appeal to the already existing historiographic heritage. The assessments of the Old Believers, this broad religious, social, cultural phenomenon, have never been unambiguous. They saw in him “the cause of troubles and a panacea for them; the only guardian of Orthodoxy and the power that destroys it; the righteous of Russians, saviors of national cultural traditions or their destroyers; the Black Hundred support of the empire or the constant carriers of the Russian popular revolt. " Over the three-century history of the schism, the literature about him has grown to a huge mass. In this regard, in this historiographic review, I included only that part of it that was directly used or had a certain influence on the dissertation, distributing it into thematic sections. The first included general works on the Old Believers with the designation of the main directions of Old Believer historiography, without which the uncommon and rituals associated with the birth of a child were outlined // Russian: family and social life.

In the second, works devoted to non-Russian Old Believers. And, finally, published studies, in which the problems of socio-cultural adaptation of Old Believer groups and the mechanisms of their self-preservation are raised to one degree or another.

The first works about the Old Believers were written by representatives of the official Orthodox Church and Russian historical science and pursued exclusively denunciatory and missionary goals. They belong to the synodal direction of Old Believer historiography, a characteristic feature of which was the isolation of the schism from the general historical context and the explanation of its causes only by intra-church problems. The most famous work of this kind belongs to Metropolitan Makarii (Bulgakov) 1. In this series, one can list the works of A.I. Zhuravlev, E. Golubinsky and many other authors2. The theory of the incorrectness of the old Russian rituals was first objectively revised by N.F. Kapterev.

In this regard, it is interesting to compare the synodal works with the polemical works of the Old Believers themselves, which give their own interpretations of the historical events that led to the split. First of all, these are "The History of the Vygovskaya Hermitage" by I. Filippov4, "A Brief History of the Ancient Orthodox (Old Believer) Church" by F.Ye. Melnikov5 and others. In the works of Old Believer writers I.А. Kirillova, V.G. Senatov, V.P. Ryabushinsky found a definition of the philosophical and religious foundations of the Russian Old Belief, tra

From the middle of the XIX century. a new, so-called, democratic direction in the study of schism is developing. The beginning was laid by A.P. Shchapov, who began to view the Old Believers exclusively as a movement of social protest. The works of S.P. Melgunov, A. S. Prugavin, and others. Subsequently, such attempts were repeatedly resumed, first in the first revolutionary years, then in the Soviet period4.

In the XIX century. the first interesting works appear, in which the Old Believers are characterized as a kind of historical and cultural phenomenon of Russian life. So. N.M. Kostomarov saw in him a "phenomenon of mental progress", and P.N. Milyukov tried to identify common roots with other religious movements and Christian sectarianism5.

In the Soviet period, in accordance with the existing ideological guidelines, the Old Believers were viewed either from an atheistic standpoint or as a form of anti-feudal protest6. Serious in-depth research appeared at this time among the Russian

A number of works by Soviet scientists devoted to medieval public consciousness, the ideology of the peasantry, social utopias and their connection with the Old Believer movement have not yet lost their significance (A.I. Klibanov, K.V. Chistov, R.G. Pikhoya).

The most consistent study of the Old Believers, its manuscript tradition was carried out by domestic archaeographers, thanks to whom a huge number of monuments of Old Believer thought were introduced into scientific circulation, their detailed analysis was carried out (NN Pokrovsky, IV Pozdeeva, EA Ageeva, E.B. Smilyanskaya, E.M. Smorgunova, I.V. Pochinskaya, A.T.Shashkov, V.I.Baydin, A.G. Mosin, E.M. Yukhimenko, etc.). Art historians, philologists and collectors of folklore (O.N.Bakhtina, T.E. Grebenyuk, S.E. Nikitina, B.JI. Klyaus, etc.) addressed the topic of the Old Believers.

The refusal of modern researchers from the given schemes and methodological clichés opened up new perspectives for the objective consecration of the phenomenon of the Old Believers in all its contradictions and versatility. Numerous scientific developments are reflected in specialized collections and periodicals. In this regard, the series "The World of the Old Believers" should be noted, which has been regularly published since 1992 by the archaeographic laboratory of Moscow State University3. The works of leading and novice specialists representing various branches of knowledge, reports of local historians and members of religious communities are published in the materials of the annual conferences "Old Believers: history, culture

To date, several issues of the "Ural Collection", prepared by Yekaterinburg scientists, have already been published, a periodical dedicated to a special group of Old Believers - Lipovans has appeared in Odessa3. The list can be continued with collective works edited by E.M. Yukhimenko4, collections and monographs covering the history and culture of various regional groups, including the Southern Urals5, etc.

In the context of my research, works that reflect the historical events that took place in the studied territory are of particular importance, first of all, the monograph by H.H. Pokrovsky "Antifeudal protest of the Ural-Siberian peasants-Old Believers in the 18th century." (Novosibirsk, 1974). The South Ural region was included in only a few works on the history and culture of the entire Ural Old Believers. In this regard, the book by N.P. Parfentieva6, which analyzes the late traditions of ancient Russian musical art. Recently, the resulting gap has been substantially filled with two fundamental works - "Essays on the history of the Old Believers in the Urals and adjacent territories.

In ethnographic terms, the material and spiritual culture of Old Believers living in the Perm Territory (G.N. Chagin, S.A. Dilmukhametova, I.V. Vlasova, I.A.Kremleva, T.A. , T.S.Makashina), Ust-Tsilma (T.N. Dronova), the Far East (Yu.V. Argudyaeva), Transbaikalia (F.F.Bolonev). A special category is made up of monographic studies of the Russian population in a particular territory, in which some specificity characteristic of the Old Believer culture was noted. The works of E.V. Richter on the Russians of Western Chud, T.A. Bernshtam about the culture of the Pomors, V.A. Lipinskaya about the Altai Territory3, etc.

The selection of only certain aspects of culture and everyday life in the study of other regional groups of Old Believers somewhat complicates the general comparative analysis, but opens up opportunities for comparisons at a private detailed level.

Many works by foreign authors are devoted to the Old Believers (R. Morris, R. Robson, D. Sheffel, E. Nakamura, E. Ivanets) 4. Features of intergenerational relationships in Old Believer families and forms of communication are analyzed in the book by V. Player and article by V. Ryuk-Dravin, which differ in their original author's approach, but contain many inaccuracies and superficial conclusions, which, in my opinion, is due to the lack of their own field research5. A monograph by the French religious scholar P. Pascal is considered a classic work on the Old Believers, using the example of the Old Believers to characterize the Russian mentality and features of religiosity6.

As mentioned above, the next section of the historiographic review consists of works devoted to non-Russian Old Believers. Traditionally, studies of the schism and its significance in the history and culture of Russia were associated with the Russian people, and an official opinion about the mono-ethnicity of the Old Believers was formed and consolidated. However, according to historical evidence, it was quite widespread among a number of Finno-Ugric peoples, with whom many leading centers were associated in the territory of the modern Republic of Komi and Karelia, the Volga region and the Urals.

7 (2). information about non-Russian Old Believers appeared in publications already in the middle of the 19th century, but an increase in targeted research interest in them has been observed only in the last decade. The most extensive historiography belongs to the Komi Old Believers.

The first works in which the influence of the old belief on the life and everyday life of the Komi-Zyryans was considered are the essays by K.F. Zhakov and P.A. Sorokin 1. Then, in the course of comprehensive studies of the ethnography of the Komi peoples in the 1940-1950s. under the leadership of V.N. Belitser, the collection of field material was carried out along the way and in the Old Believer villages. Based on the results of the expeditions, sketches of the material and spiritual culture of the Komi peoples were published; in a number of cases, some cultural specificity of individual Old Believer groups was noted, although their confessional affiliation and features of religiosity were not the subject of special consideration2.

The next to address the topic of interest were L.N. Zherebtsov and L.P. Lashuk, in their works of different years they noted the cultural specificity of the Komi groups who accepted the "old faith", determined the geography of their settlement and sub-confessional composition. All their works are united by the conclusion about the conservative influence of the Old Believers on the culture of the Zyryans and on the preservation of “archaic religious remnants”. The works of Yu.V. Gagarin, written on the results of a continuous concrete sociological study of the state of religiosity of the rural Komi population in 1966

67 BC The objectives of the study were to identify the degree of preservation of religious beliefs and their characteristics among the Old Believers. The main conclusion was the conclusion about the imminent "extinction" of the Old Believers1.

Systematic and consistent research at Pechora, Vychegda and Vashka began already in the 1980s, when a folklore and ethnographic laboratory was created at the Syktyvkar University. Syktyvkar scientists (A.N. Vlasov, Yu.V. Savelyev, E.V. Procuratorova, T.A.Kaneva, T.F. Volkova, T.A. materials about the Old Believers' book and manuscript tradition, the formation and functioning of individual communities, mentoring clans, the role of books in traditional culture2.

The latest research among the Komi-Zyryan Old Believers (questions of mythology, artistic creation) belongs to V.E. Sharapov and P.F. Limerov3, who worked in Old Believer villages in the 1990s. The history and culture of local Old Believer groups among the Komi-Zyryans became the subject of dissertation research by A.A. Chuvyurov and V.V. Vlasova in order to identify the role of the Old Believers in the formation of local ethno-confessional communities, to determine their cultural specificity4. Many other published works belong to these authors. More details L.N. Economy, culture and life of the Udor Komi in the 18th - early 20th centuries. M., 1972; Lashuk L.P.

Fishman, who used a phenomenological approach in research1.

Scientific research among the Old Believer groups of Perm began to be carried out already in the 1950s. V.N. Belitser, in addition to the above-mentioned works, a separate essay was written about the material culture of the Komi-Zyuzdins, where their belonging to the Old Believers is noted, but attention is focused on other problems2. Modern scientific publications about this group are numbered literally by a few3, the rest belong mainly to pre-revolutionary authors. In this regard, for my research it was interesting to attract materials about the closest neighbors of the Permian Zyuzdinsky - the Yurlinsky group of Russians, which was subjected to a strong Old Believer influence (collective monograph by Bakhmatov AA, Podyukov I.A., Khorobrikh CB, Chernykh AB, articles by I.V. Vlasova) 4 ...

The culture of the Yazvinsky Perm was addressed by philologists, who noted the vivid specificity of their dialect, these are, first of all, V.I. Lytkin in the 1960s, then modern scientists (P.M. Batalova,

EAT. Smorgunov) 1. Numerous works by G.N. Chagin, who, on the basis of many years of research, comes to the important conclusions that the Yazvinsky, due to the specificity of their culture and language, can be considered not as an ethnographic group of Perm, but as one of the Komi peoples. On the example of V.I. Baidin identified the general patterns of the spread of the Old Belief among the Finno-Ugrians.

Since 1972, a systematic work of the staff of the archaeographic laboratory of Moscow State University has been carried out among the residents of Yazvina, the local book tradition has been studied, its interrelationships with the history of the fugitive Old Believer consent have been identified. The research was reflected in a number of publications in the above-mentioned university series of publications devoted to the problems of the Old Believers (articles by E.M.Smorgunova, V.P. Pushkov, I.V. Pozdeeva). Several expeditions were organized by teachers and students of the Kudymkar State Institute. Thus, today this is the most studied group of the Finno-Ugric Old Believers population in the Ural-Volga region. However, not all aspects of the history and culture of the Yazvinian Komi have been fully sanctified; their complex analysis is also required.

There were practically no separate works devoted to the Old Believers among the Mordovians, although there are references to this phenomenon in missionary reports, archival sources, articles on the Christianization of foreigners. Some information about sectarianism among the Mordovians, and about a hundred

Perm, 1999.S. 195-200. The ritualism of various accords available in the pre-revolutionary editions were summarized by E.H. Mokshina 1.

Among other Finno-Ugric peoples of the Volga region, the Old Believers did not find much distribution and, accordingly, its influence on their traditional culture was insignificant. There are references to Old Believers among the Udmurts in the book by Yu.M. Ivonin, but they are only ascertaining. E.F. Shumilov in a monograph on Christianity in Udmurtia 2.

Old Believer groups among the Chuvashes aroused scientific interest only in the context of general studies of various sectarian movements, not being the subject of special consideration. The most detailed information about the history of the spread of the Old Believers among the Chuvash is found in Yu.M. Braslavsky 3. G.E. Kudryashov singled out this phenomenon among the Chuvash people as a special type of religious syncretism, formed as a result of convergence (i.e. preliminary synthesis) of a number of religious systems at a later stage of interfaith and interethnic interactions4.

Thus, the problem of non-Russian Old Believers in the Urals-Volga region, which is of great theoretical interest, was considered fragmentarily, there are practically no comprehensive studies, and the degree of study of various groups of Old Believers is not the same. In this regard, new research in this area seems to be very promising.

In the third section of this historiographic review, works are noted in which, to one degree or another, the problems that are solved in this dissertation are noted. First of all, it is necessary to make a reservation that the consideration of the Old Believers not as a conservative and extremely isolated phenomenon, but as a living developing tradition is characteristic of most modern studies. Thus, archaeographers analyzing written works in all genre diversity draw a direct parallel between the ancient Russian cultural tradition and modern Old Believers. This approach is typical, in particular, for the works of E.A. Ageeva, E.V. Smorgunova, I.V. Pozdeeva, E.B. Smilyanskaya, and others published in the periodical series of Moscow State University. UFO. Bubnov defines Old Belief as a culture-mediator between the Middle Ages and modern Europeanized Russia1. At the same time, speaking about the preservation of the ancient elements of Russian culture in the Old Believers, scientists note "the staunchness, activity, dynamism, even just the resourcefulness of the Old Believer movement as a whole," which allows it to always be in accordance with a specific historical context. The question of the “relative isolation” of the Old Believer communities and their ability to develop collective ways of responding to external changes that do not destroy their culture has been repeatedly addressed by S.Ye. Nikita. R. Morris characterizes the Old Believers as a kind of key to understanding the processes of convergence in the modern world3.

Living Traditions: Results and Prospects of Complex Research M., 1998. S. 320-333.

The problem of adaptation resources of the Old Belief was raised by E.E. Dutchak, who emphasized the important role of the family in the processes of intergenerational transmission of traditional norms1. The difficulties of self-preservation of Old Believers in a mono-national environment were also considered by V.A. Lipinskaya 2.

Source base of the research. An important source for the dissertation research was pre-revolutionary publications, which contain information of varying degrees of saturation about the split in the studied territory. The line between sources and historiography seems rather arbitrary here. In this regard, N. Chernavsky's work on the Orenburg diocese is of great value. Describing in detail all any significant local events, the author gives a lot of interesting information about the Old Believers: about the popularity of their ideas among the Cossacks, about the founding of sketes, the missionary activity of secular governing bodies and the Orthodox clergy, statistical tables3. A similar work on the Ufa diocese was written by I.G. Zolo-toverkhovnikov. Placing in the book data on the number of schismatics by districts and individual settlements for 1897, he also explains the reason for the rapid spread in the region of the schism, linking it with the construction of mining plants4. The stages of this process are analyzed by V.M. Cheremshansky 1.

One of the active members of the Ufa Missionary Committee N.P. Tyunin published in 1889 a collection of personal conversations with Old Believers, supplemented by the author's reflections and comments

It includes a lot of ethnographic subjects - descriptions of some family rituals, everyday specifics, small details typical of the local talk (hole holes, pigeon sense, etc.). This cannot be gleaned from dry archival files. Tyunin's biased attitude towards his interlocutors and a noticeable bias do not prevent him from considering the book an important source.

Ethnographic sketches about the Old Believers were made in the travel notes of M.A. Krukovsky and K.P. Gorbunov, historical sketch of V. Kasimovsky 3. Interesting information about the life of the famous schismatic sketes, located on the territory of the Ural Cossack army and closely connected with the Irgiz monasteries, can be obtained from the article by P.V. Yudin 4. The most detailed ethnographic essay on the Old Believers of the Southern Urals at the beginning of the 20th century. is an article by D.K. Zelenina. In 1905, the famous Russian scientist spent a whole month in the village of Usen-Ivanovskoye, Belebeevsky district of the Ufa province, among the Old Believers-Beglopopovtsy and presented his observations in a rather voluminous essay. It provides a historical excursion, a general description of the methods of management, the construction of dwellings, a description of traditional clothing, the peculiarities of everyday life, religious life and ritual practice of the Usenchan1.

The early history of the Old Believers on the territory of the Perm province (from the end of the 17th to the second half of the 19th centuries) was presented in detail by Archimandrite Pallady (Pyankov), his fundamental work, based on a huge number of almost all available documents and evidence

An extensive ethnographic essay by N.P. Steinfeld, which contains detailed information about the peculiarities of their settlement and management, describes everyday life. Noting the adherence of the local population to the split, the author writes: “The split here is a special positive phenomenon. During the five hundred years of Orthodoxy, the Zyuzdians did not even learn prayers, not to mention any more or less definite concepts of the dogmas and rituals of their religion. It would seem that the soil here is absolutely unsuitable for the appearance of a split. In fact, about fifty years ago, it spread quite strongly and is holding on stubbornly ”4.

Some data allowing to localize the Chuvash Old Believer groups on the territory of the Ural-Volga region are available in the articles of N.V. Nikolsky 5. Fragmentary information about the Old Believers among the Mordovians is contained in the famous researcher M.V. Evseviev 6.

Another type of published sources used in this work are various periodicals. First of all, these are regularly published in the 19th and early 20th centuries. "Diocesan vedomosti" (used Orenburg, Ufa, Vyatka, Perm, Samarsk, Simbirsk vedomosti). In the reports of the parish priests, printed in them, information about existing schisms and sects was compulsorily placed, sometimes the distribution of schismatics according to confessions and accords was made. The personal observations of their compilers are of particular value, since the statistics, as a rule, did not differ in reliability.

The first publications about Old Believers among the Finno-Ugric peoples of the Ural-Volga region appeared precisely in church periodicals, these were works written by Orthodox priests and had a predominantly missionary orientation. Despite the tendentiousness, they differ in detail, they also consider the history of the spread of the schism among the "infidels", and the peculiarities of their way of life, and the form of religious life. A series of articles by the priest N. Blinov about the Permian Komi should be highlighted, where the special influence of the Old Believers on their way of life is noted1. Information about the Zyuzdin group of Perm Old Believers can be gleaned from the work of Archpriest M. Formakovsky2. The missionary G. Selivanovsky wrote about the group of “non-Moles”. A small note in “Simbirskiye Vedomosti” became practically the only source of information about one of the groups of Chuvash Old Believers4, etc.

In addition, the dissertation actively used the Report of the Ufa Brotherhood of the Resurrection of Christ for 1898 and notes about the Old Believers from the provincial newspapers. The materials of the All-Russian census of 1897 partly contributed to the detection of a non-Russian element among the Old Believer population of the region. Were attracted "Lists of populated areas" in various provinces.

The fragmentation and insufficiency of the published materials at my disposal predetermined their auxiliary, secondary function. The volume of archival documentation is much more significant in the work, in all the diversity of which several categories can be conditionally distinguished (see Appendix III).

The first type includes archival sources of a statistical nature. The solution to the task of completely eradicating the split, which the power structures set themselves, was impossible without clarifying the places of its spread and knowing the quantitative indicators. In this regard, throughout its existence, many regulations were issued, obliging local city and police departments to provide accurate information about the number of schismatics and their prayer buildings. This desired accuracy in real practice was practically unattainable for a number of reasons. First, the natural tendency of the Old Believers themselves to hide their confessional affiliation, both due to persecution and bias against official records. Secondly, a significant layer of the entrepreneurial elite of the Urals society consisted of adherents of the old faith. This is in addition to the fact that merchants and plant owners were seriously interested in cheap and reliable labor, and therefore were in no hurry to give the authorities the true number of Old Believers. Third, the silence of the official clergy could often be guaranteed by elementary bribery.

Accordingly, various statements and reports deposited in the archival funds do not carry objective statistical information. Their value lies elsewhere. They made it possible to identify the settlements where the Old Believers lived, and sometimes their sub-confessions, which was especially important for the almost unexplored Southern Urals in this regard. This kind of work, coupled with modern field material, formed the basis for the creation of the maps included in the appendix (see Appendix IV). With their help, the routes of modern expeditionary trips were planned.

The second category of archival sources, selectively used in the thesis, included forensic materials. These are reports about the crimes of schismatics against the Orthodox Church, lists of those who have not been to confession, court cases about seducing Orthodox Christians into schism, about the capture of schismatic priests, the discovery of secret sketes and prayer houses, about married marriages, etc.

The next extensive group of materials was made up of registration documents of Old Believer communities. The first stream of such cases was observed in the period from 1906 to 1915, that is, after the Imperial decree on freedom of religion in the Russian Empire. And the second - already in Soviet times, when the fiscal goals of an atheistic state were disguised under the guise of registration. During the Soviet period, another kind of sources was formed that illuminated directly opposite processes - the termination of the activities of Old Believer religious associations, the closure and transfer of churches and houses of worship for cultural institutions and economic needs. This also includes applications for registration of various groups and correspondence in this regard.

In general, the sources were examined, stored in seven archives - the Russian State Historical Archives (RGIA, F.815, 796), the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St.

Petersburg branch, F.ZO), the Central State Historical Archives of the Republic of Bashkortostan (TsGIA RB.F.I-1, I-2, I.6, I-9, I-11, R-394, R-1252, R- 4732, R-4797), the State Archives of Public Associations of the Republic of Bashkortostan (SAOO RB, F. P-122), the current archive of the Council for Religious Affairs under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Central State Archives of the Orenburg Region (TsGAOO. F.6, 10, 11 , 18, 37, 94, 164, 167, 175, R-617) and the State Archives of the Chelyabinsk Region (GACHO. F.220, I-1, I-3, I-33, R-274, F.6, F .eleven). More than two hundred cases were brought in for analysis.

Despite the enormous importance of archival data, the most extensive group of sources was made up of materials from the author's field ethnographic studies, collected during individual expedition trips. It covered about 80 settlements on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan (1996-2005) and Chuvashia (2005), Chelyabinsk (2001-2005), Orenburg (2001-2004), Perm (2004-2005). ), Kirov (2004-2005), Ulyanovsk (2006) regions. The list of settlements is given in the appendix.

In the guide questionnaire, the main thematic blocks of conversations with informants were identified. The guide includes sections on history (resettlement, history of Old Believers' movements, the current state of communities), material and spiritual culture.

As observations show, at present, the material culture of the Old Believers has undergone significant unification and standardization, therefore, attention was paid only to those elements that passed into the category of attributes of the ritual and religious sphere and were fixed as the dominant features of culture (prayer costume complex, ritual food, etc.). etc.).

Accordingly, the body of questions concerning spiritual culture was much broader. It included sections designed to reveal the features of the Old Believer worldview (eschatological expectations, the existence of utopian legends, the interpretation of book texts). Much attention was paid to the study of religiosity. Research in this area is feasible only in the context of the daily life of the individual and society and involves the fixation and analysis of particular manifestations of religiosity. The latter were considered church holidays, public worship, veneration of local shrines, as well as the degree of observance of religious precepts and taboos, knowledge of the basic canons, attitude to the sacraments. The composition and structure of confessional communities, the role of spiritual leaders - priests and mentors - were identified.

Scientific novelty of the research. Fundamentally new is the solution to the problem posed - to identify the mechanisms of self-preservation of Old Believer communities - using the example of various ethnocultural environments, since the attraction of material on the Finno-Ugric groups of Old Believers and a multi-level comparative analysis with control groups of Russian Old Believers and representatives of the studied peoples who do not belong to the Old Believer confession are carried out in ethnology for the first time.

In many ways, the object of research is also new - the Old Believers among the Finno-Ugric peoples. In particular, not a single special work has been devoted to the Old Believers among the Mordovians today, and research among the Komi-Zyuzdins, reflected in only a few articles, was carried out in the middle of the past century.

In the dissertation, for the first time, previously unknown archival sources and original field material are introduced into scientific circulation, which makes it possible to fill in the gaps in domestic science, and provides specific material for scientific generalizations.

Practical significance. The dissertation materials can be used to popularize knowledge about the Old Believers, when writing curricula and manuals on the history and traditional culture of the East Slavic and Finno-Ugric peoples of the Ural-Volga region and various confessional groups, and used to draw up confessional maps. The scientific information contained in the dissertation can become the basis for the development of general and special courses in universities, as well as for lecture and educational activities in museums and national-cultural societies.

Approbation of the study. The main provisions of the dissertation were outlined by the author in reports and reports at international, all-Russian, regional conferences and congresses organized by scientific and educational centers in the years. Moscow (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005), St. Petersburg (2005), Omsk (1997, 2003, 2005), Nalchik (2001), Ufa (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2006), Yekaterinburg (2000), Orenburg (1998), Chelyabinsk (2006), Perm (2001), Saransk (2004), Samara (2002, 2006), Izhevsk (2004), Sarapula (1997), Yoshkar-Ola (2005), Ulan-Ude (2001), Astrakhan (2005), Kiev (2004), Budapest (2004), were discussed at the Center for the Study of Interethnic Relations of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Conclusion

The spread of Old Believers on the territory of the Ural-Volga region was a long historical process, the intensity of which at one stage or another, along with the difficulties of relations with government bodies and the official church, was also determined by transformations within the entire religious movement and individual Old Believer accords, as well as by the wide opportunities opening up. for the economic and cultural development of sparsely populated areas.

Until the first quarter of the 18th century, the bulk of the Old Believers in the region under study were Cossacks, who, due to their isolated situation in the eastern outskirts of Russia, continued to adhere to the old rituals even after the church reform. Subsequently, the increase in the number of "schismatics" here was associated with the construction of fortresses and mining enterprises, and then - with peasant colonization. Religious self-organization within the framework of Old Believer consensus turned out to be quite adapted to solving organizational problems faced by migrants (choosing places for settlements, migration routes, protecting property rights, land divisions, etc.), and subsequently contributed to the stabilization of the existence of communities in the new socio-economic conditions. Peasant colonization of the region continued with varying degrees of intensity until the beginning of the 20th century. Only by this time the places of compact settlement of the Old Believers, the boundaries of the main beliefs and agreements, were finally identified.

Initially, the Old Believers in the Ural-Volga region were a Russian phenomenon. The basis for intercultural interactions with the Finno-Ugric and other peoples, as a result of which a part of their Old Believer doctrine was adopted, was laid mainly during the 18th and 19th centuries in the process of joint development of new lands and the gradual establishment of various contacts. In the course of the study, the factors that contributed to intercultural interaction were identified: territorial (inter-lane settlement); economic and economic (production and trade contacts, waste trades); sociocultural (knowledge of the Finno-Ugrians and Turks of the Russian language, acquaintance with the basics of Christianity); and the main reasons for the spread of the Old Believers among the Volga peoples (the world outlook crisis, social tension caused by measures for violent Christianization, the socio-psychological closeness of "schismatics" and "foreigners").

The adoption of the Old Believers by the Volga peoples, even where it was not a mass phenomenon, led to the isolation of small groups within their religious communities and, as a consequence, to their further isolation in social terms. In general, this diversified the general ethno-confessional mosaic of the Ural-Volga region and complicated inter-confessional and interethnic, as well as intra-ethnic interaction in the region.

As the study showed, being originally a Russian phenomenon, the Old Believers as a religious doctrine, nevertheless, allowed the existence of an ethnicity different from the Russian one among their adherents. The adoption of the Old Believers did not lead to the immediate Russification of the "foreigners", religious identity coexisted with the general ethnic and linguistic. The Ural-Volga region is characterized by the formation of both mono-ethnic (Russian, Mordovian, Permian, Chuvash) and poly-ethnic confessional communities based on the Old Believers (Russian-Mordovian, Russian-Permian, Russian-Chuvash-Mordovian) around religious centers (temples or prayer), uniting residents of the nearest settlements according to the parish type.

Where the level of interethnic interactions is relatively low, confessional (Old Believer) affiliation, along with language, can serve as a group marker separating both from the main ethnic massif and from Russians. A similar situation has historically developed among the Yazvinsky Permians ("We are not Permian Komi and not Russians, they have Nikon's patriarchal faith, and we are Old Believers"). In addition, in this group, the acceptance of the Old Believers also served as a factor in the preservation of the native language; it is among the Yazvinian Old Believers that the Permian language is mainly used as a spoken language. Among the Komi-Zyuzdins, no such interconnection has been revealed; both Old Believers and Orthodox are equally involved in the assimilation processes, accompanied by the loss of their native language and the change of ethnic identity (to Russian).

The adoption of the Old Believers by the Volga peoples led to transformations of their ethno-cultural appearance, changing the ritual and everyday spheres of their life, in some cases, displacing, in others, on the contrary, preserving certain elements of the traditional complex, while introducing new ones characteristic of Russian culture. Field studies show that the mix of these preserved or displaced elements is always variable in different regional groups. According to S.A. Arutyunov, the extra-linguistic part of culture is generally more diffuse and permeable than the linguistic part, therefore the moment of switching the cultural code is not as discrete and clear as when switching from one language to another, and it is not so easy to unambiguously fix it1. At the same time, in all studied groups, a complex of cultural phenomena, objects, symbols, characterized by the carriers of culture themselves as "Old Believers", and acting as confessional markers, regardless of both the real degree of preservation and the degree of compliance with the canon, is revealed.

Thus, the Old Believers in both Russian and Finno-Ugric communities are an integral part of group self-consciousness,

1 Arutyunov S.A. Cultures, traditions and their development and interaction. M., 2000. S. 182. defining it at various levels of social interactions: within a confession (division between agreements), within an ethnos (division between ethnographic and religious groups) and, finally, more broadly regulating relations with the external environment (separation from other ethnic groups on the basis of ethnic and confessional (Old Believer) affiliation).

The initial premise in solving the main problem posed in this study was the thesis of the continuity of the Old Believer group identity with the preservation and reproduction of tradition. For Old Believers, tradition fulfills the function of making sense, evaluating and ordering life, that is, it is a universal mechanism that ensures the stability of Old Believer groups or social systems, aimed, on the one hand, at ordering the systems themselves as integral organisms, and on the other, at regulating their interaction with external environment.

The external environment sets the rules and restrictions according to which the social system functions, and, at the same time, initiates the adaptation process. For the Old Believers, which were originally an opposition movement, relationships with the state and the official church played an important role. In the course of historical development, the Old Believer communities have developed many protective strategies, and this work considered one of the aspects of the problem associated with the organization of church life, which is highly dependent on government measures to combat schism. The functions of religious centers in the Old Believers were performed by secret monasteries (sketes) and private chapels, communication between which was carried out through priests or mentors and active laity. As the study showed, church institutions scattered over vast territories regulated the life of many communities and represented a kind of network within the framework of individual agreements, the components of which were quickly restored in the event of destruction. In addition, Old Believer monasteries and parishes have demonstrated the ability to combine and divide functions depending on the historical context. The maintenance of the stability of religious life was facilitated by the persisting and at present a certain way of hierarchizing the internal structure of individual Old Believer communities according to the degree of compliance of the behavior of individuals with an authoritatively established norm.

The personal factor has always played an important role in overcoming crisis situations in the Old Believers, which was especially evident in the most difficult Soviet period, when religious life in communities was supported by a small circle of people, usually monks from former monasteries. The transfer of the monastery to the "world", although it was a violation of the canon, under the prevailing conditions was considered as the only opportunity to preserve and transmit the tradition. Accordingly, unlike most Old Believer communities, in which the transmission of religious experience in Soviet times took place only at the level of individual families, in such communities there were also institutionalized forms of transmission of sacred knowledge, which to a large extent contributed to the strengthening of intragroup ties. In general, the Soviet period turned out to be the most destructive for the Old Believers; the currently observed restoration of the infrastructure of Old Believer accords is proceeding much more slowly than in official Orthodoxy. Historical experience is used: as in the 19th century, connections between individual communities are carried out through priests and active laity.

Despite the declared isolation and the desire to limit external contacts, three main directions of interaction of Old Believers with a different ethnic and non-confessional environment are identified. Interactions in the economic and economic sphere, although they were most active, did not affect the preservation of the religious tradition, but ensured the physical survival of the Old Believer communities. Interfaith marriages were subjected to stricter collective control, within the family and within the community, but were allowed under certain conditions; rather flexible ways were developed for resolving contradictions between the canon and everyday practice. Finally, the third direction of interactions - missionary activity, qualitatively differed from the first two, being quite definitely aimed precisely at expanding contacts and strengthening the Old Believer presence in a "foreign" environment.

The external environment, considered in the context of the adaptive process, also acts as a subject of interpretive activity, since each community perceives and explains it in its own way, in accordance with the cultural and historical context and with its own conceptual picture of the world. The Old Believers are characterized by the use of eschatological categories in the socio-historical conceptualization, which, in my opinion, is explained both by the circumstances of the emergence and existence in an aggressive atmosphere, and by the reaction of traditional society to transformational processes. All new phenomena of the surrounding world, related to social life, to the objective and natural world, are interpreted by Old Believers as signs of recent times. That is, eschatology is a way of interpreting reality and, accordingly, including the changing forms of everyday life in the circle of familiar and explainable concepts. In addition, by creating additional psychological stress, eschatology allows you to more fully mobilize defense mechanisms to maintain group integrity. So with Christian eschatology, the messianic idea, which is relevant for the Old Believers, is closely related, contributing to the formation of expressed personalism and their perception of their own position as the only correct and possible one.

The self-preservation of Old Believer communities, like other ethno-confessional communities, is directly related to the maintenance of external and internal group boundaries, while the principle of selection of cultural features symbolizing the border is determined by the degree of compliance with tradition, they should not be subjectively assessed as an innovation.

The separation of Old Believers from other communities was originally built on a religious basis, in this regard, the border is fixed, first of all, by a system of confessional symbols (churches and prayer houses, books, icons, various religious objects), which constitute the so-called basic symbolic environment, which, Being in the process of socialization as bearers of culture, promotes group cohesion. Accordingly, the most severe restrictions on contacts with “strangers” also apply to the ritual and religious sphere (a ban on joint worship, visiting temples, using religious objects).

Along with confessional symbols, everyday phenomena (clothing, appearance, food) are also endowed with a symbolic status in the Old Believers. If, under the conditions of normal reproduction of cultural tradition, everyday behavior is defined as "natural", then in the case when society finds itself in the position of an outcast, it is endowed with a special meaning and additional functions, values ​​and motivations. The rejection of novelties, first of the Peter's era, and then of all subsequent ones, contributed to the gradual formation of a whole system of everyday prohibitions. Old-style clothing, wearing a beard, stopping smoking are now perceived by the Old Believers themselves and the surrounding population as symbols of the group. In addition, behavioral taboos are declared that are mandatory for every "true" Old Believer (a ban on sharing a meal with representatives of another confession, pronunciation of certain words, smoking, etc.).

Thus, both in historical retrospect and now, all the symbolic resources of the Old Believer communities are thrown into the preservation of purity, the threat of which comes from others, from the "worldly". For the constant maintenance of the border, everything is used - from radical eschatology to endogamy and chasnichestvo. Here, according to R. Crammy's classification, the “text community” dominates, which presupposes the identification of authenticity with strict normativity. However, if you look more closely, it turns out that the super-task of preservation cannot be accomplished except through a detailed, inventive system of adaptation, which also includes a repertoire of legitimate means of breaking the norm.

In addition to creating a boundary between “friends” and “aliens,” every society, taking care of its integrity, develops a system of social codes or behavioral programs aimed at maintaining internal balance and developing various types of collective cohesion. The consolidation of members of Old Believer communities is facilitated by many group ties: these are marriage contacts, and council decisions on dogmatic and everyday issues, and general church holidays, and the veneration of their own shrines.

In addition, a powerful psychological factor of consolidation, as well as one of the components of the Old Believers 'group self-identification, which makes it possible to draw an unmistakable border along the “we” - “they” line, is the Old Believers' perception of their community as a collective custodian of sacred book texts. The traditionally important role of literacy determined the existence in the Old Believer oral culture of a large number of secondary texts (interpretations of written works), reflecting the mental characteristics of the entire community. The specificity of culture is manifested already at the level of selection of written works that are included in the communication processes, based on the search for analogies between the events of sacred history and the history of the Old Believers. Such a comparison of the content of canonical texts and significant for the Old Believers of phenomena and events serves them as a way of arguing the truth of their own beliefs and contributes to the formation of a positive identity, strengthening of confessional identity.

Historical memory as one of the components of group consciousness is also expressed in oral works from the circle of "small" or "local" history, which also reveal distant and near projections - from legends about legendary ancestors to the history of their community. As the study has shown, the most archaic layers of local oral history, not based on Old Believer books, are more preserved among the Finno-Ugric groups (legends about the Chudi, ancestors-pioneers, endowed with the features of cultural heroes, etc.).

Thus, the aspiration of the Old Believers, declared by the Old Believers, for a complete rejection of innovations and complete isolation, inevitably faced the impossibility of their practical implementation, which prompted a constant search for a compromise and new ways to preserve tradition in the face of changing reality. It was traditionalism that confronted the Old Believers with the need to choose more flexible relationships with the outside world, and, paradoxically, stimulated their creative and social activity. In this regard, some regularities can be identified.

First, the degrees of declared and real closeness of the Old Believer communities do not always coincide; absolute isolation, both in historical retrospect and now, is rather a subjective idealized characteristic of the group, supported from within and from the outside. The focus, intensity of interactions between Old Believers and the environment, as well as the level of collective control in this area, can vary depending on the context and situation.

Secondly, the Old Believer culture, like any other, is not a rigid structure with a simple and unambiguous correspondence between all components, when the change or loss of one of them leads to its complete destruction. In the changing conditions, far from all the components of the Old Believer culture are preserved, but only those that relate to the sphere of the sacred. With regard to this area, cultural scientists use the concept of "cultural core", understanding by it a set of certain ideas, norms, dogmas, adopted by the absolute majority of members of society as the basis for self-affirmation in the world1. The phenomena close to the sacred center are more conservative than those in the profane peripheral and more mobile part of the culture. Thus, displaced from everyday life, the Russian folk costume, having turned out to be "prayer" clothes, partly retains its traditional features. The prohibitions proclaimed by the canons, but not observed in ordinary life, are actualized during the performance of rituals, manual Easter, which does not find practical application, is carefully handed down from generation to generation, etc.

Thirdly, as ethnographic studies show, the norms declared by the Old Believers themselves do not remain unchanged, but are periodically revised taking into account specific situations. This can be seen in the examples of religious literature (later commentaries on church rituals) and everyday innovations. Old Believers' views on technical inventions evolve from active rejection to active use; eschatological dates are postponed and re-justified; the rationale for the introduction of previously unseen subjects into everyday practice is proposed; prohibited products are replaced by others, etc. That is, the set of rules turns out to be elastic and responsive to external impulses. The search for ways to transform new or foreign cultural phenomena into the norm presupposes either confirmation of its compliance with the teachings of the "holy fathers" by referring to an authoritative source, or interpretation in terms and categories of one's own culture. In this process, the discipline set by the canon is necessarily observed, but there is also room for free experimentation.

Fourthly, the implementation of basic norms is not practiced by the entire team, but by only a small part of its members, who voluntarily assumed responsibility for preserving the tradition and limited external contacts. The transition to this category, which is possible for each member of the community, is made, as a rule, by people who do not participate in various social activities. Differentiation of "conciliar" and "secular" in popov-free communities and informal division into groups according to the degree of church-going - in priest-like communities allows creating legitimate mediators, firstly, between the "world" and "true believers", and secondly, between the religious canon and practice ... At the same time, the continuity in the transfer of the accumulated experience is not interrupted, its translation is ensured.

Thus, the conducted research testifies to the high adaptive abilities of the Old Believers. At the same time, the observed ratio of traditional and new forms always remains such, which allows Old Believer communities to organically fit into the surrounding context and develop dynamically. In this regard, the mechanism of their self-preservation can be defined as follows - maintaining a balance or optimal balance between tradition and innovation, between isolation and openness.
