This detailed study examines the social, religious, and institutional conflicts accompanying the Russian Schism of the 17th century. By analyzing who opposed the reforms of Patriarch Nikon (1652-58) and under what circumstances, the author presents a complex and multifaceted world of popular religious resistance that has been hidden from view for centuries.
