Russian Studies in History – Special Russian Sectarian Issue
by Jonathan J. Kalmakoff
The journal Russian Studies in History has published a special issue devoted to Russian sectarian history. In its Winter 2007 issue (Volume 46, Issue 3) entitled “Russian Religious Sectarianism”, the journal published by M.E. Sharpe, Inc. contains articles by world-acclaimed scholars dedicated to the Doukhobors and Molokans.
The special issue contains unabridged English translations of previously published Russian articles written by Nicholas B. Breyfogle, Svetlana A. Inikova, Iuliia V. Argudiaeva and Irina V. Dolzhenko. The following is a summary of article titles, authors and abstracts:
Guest Editor's Introduction.
By: Breyfogle, Nicholas B.
Russian Studies in History, Winter2007, Vol. 46 Issue 3, p 3-9, 7p.
Abstract: The article discusses various reports published within the issue including "The Tambov Dukhobors in the 1760s," by Svetlana A Inikova and "The Tenor of Religious and Everyday Culture Among Russian Peasant Sectarians in Eastern Armenia," by Irina Vladimirovna Dolzhenko.
The Tambov Dukhobors in the 1760s.
By: Inikova, Svetlana A.
Russian Studies in History, Winter2007,Vol. 46 Issue 3, p 10-39, 30p.
Abstract: The article attempts to answer questions relative to the time of Dukhoborism's appearance in Tambov, Russia and to the sect's organizational foundations, activity and beliefs in the 1760s. It is based on a set of documents relating to the submission of two Dukhobor petitions to Catherine II that were discovered in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts' collection of materials from the empress's cabinet.
The Tenor of Religious and Everyday Culture Among Russian Peasant Sectarians in Eastern Armenia (Nineteenth to Early Twentieth Century).
By: Dolzhenko, Irina V.
Russian Studies in History, Winter2007, Vol. 46 Issue 3, p 40-55, 16p.
Abstract: The article discusses the religious life and culture of Russian peasant sectarians in Eastern Armenia from the nineteenth to the early twentieth century. The author mentions that sectarianism in Eastern Armenia was represented by the two trends of Molokanism and Subbotnikism. She points out that the village commune comprised all peasants regardless of religious affiliation, whereas a religious community encompassed only followers of a single religious doctrine.
Molokans in the Amur Region.
By: Argudiaeva, Iuliia V.
Russian Studies in History, Winter2007, Vol. 46 Issue 3, p 56-77, 22p.
Abstract: The article discusses the way of life and the culture of the Molokans in Russia. The author mentions that Molokanism took shape as a sect at the very heart of Christianity in Tambov province during the eighteenth century and the first Molokans to arrive in the Amur region in 1859 were Jumpers or state peasants who had been exiled to the Amur from Taurida province. It is noted that the Amur Molokans included a good number of rich and middle-income households.
The Dukhobor and Molokan Ethno-Denominational Groups.
By: Inikova, Svetlana A.
Russian Studies in History, Winter2007, Vol. 46 Issue 3, p 78-96, 19p.
Abstract: The article discusses the way of life and culture of the Dukhobor and Molokan groups which emerged in Russia around the end of the seventeenth century. The author mentions that a study of these sects and their history indicates that the most ultimately religious requirement is the demand for exemption from military service. She contends that the changes in the self-awareness of Dukhobors and Molokans that came about in the 1990s are seen in their attitude toward the Orthodox Church.
Building Doukhoboriia: Religious culture, social identity and Russian colonization in Transcaucasia 1845-1895.
By Breyfogle, Nicholas B.
Canadian Ethnic Studies; 1995, Vol. 27 Issue 3, p 24, 28p.
Abstract: Examines the religious culture, social identity and Russian colonization of Doukhobors in Transcaucasia from 1845 to 1895. Illustration of how the interplay of forces led to the accelerating ferment and the historic arms-burning event; Marriage and divorce; Government.
The “Russian Religious Sectarianism” issue is of Russian Studies in History is a welcome addition to the published scholarship on the Doukhobors and Molokans, making available rare and valuable Russian archival research hitherto unavailable in the English language. Each different in scope and depth, the articles in this issue focus on important aspects of sectarian history in Russia that add useful dimensions and provide new insights to this area of study. This compilation of essays will be an excellent addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in Molokan and Doukhobor studies.
