Visiting babushka / baba Nastya in the village of Nizhegorodskaya region...
Old Believers are Eastern Orthodox Christians who maintain the ritual practices of the Russian Orthodox Church as they were before the reforms of Patriarch Nikon of Moscow. Those who adopted new liturgical practices started to call themselves orthodox – or in Russian - pravoslavnye (which means 'those believing rightly'). People who opposed the reform and followed old practices were named ‘raskolniki’ – schismatics, later known as old ritualists or old believers. They were persecuted by the church and authorities for 2 centuries and only in 1905 the government officially allowed them to exercise their faith.
