Replacing Tsar, King, and Emperor with the Sultan
During the 1660s and 1670s, the Ottoman Empire reached the peak of its expansion with military invasions of Ukraine and Habsburg Hungary, parts of central Europe that had traditionally been regarded as beyond the Porte's horizons. Many Ukrainians and Hungarians welcomed the Ottomans as liberators; they saw the sultan as a more benevolent ruler than the Russian tsar, the Polish king, and the Habsburg emperor. This article reconstructs the politica…
Turcophile, Religious Zealot, and Rebel
Pál Szepessy (1636–1685), a Calvinist noble, dedicated his life to the goal of turning Habsburg Hungary into an Ottoman vassal state. He spent much time in the Ottoman world, met with Grand Vizier Ahmed Köprülü (r. 1661–76) on at least four occasions, and regularly visited other Ottoman dignitaries. Szepessy outlined the traumatic effects of Habsburg military occupation and Counter-Reformation on Hungarian society. He was driven by the conviction…
Russian Mass Suicides Reconsidered
Mass suicides in late seventeenth-century Russia have typically been seen as desperate responses to Patriarch Nikon’s liturgical reforms. Convinced of the imminent end of times ordinary men and women took their own lives rather than to succumb to the world of Antichrist. Michels argues that mass suicides can only be understood by probing into the specific religious, social, and administrative environments in which they occurred. He offers a compa…
From Persecuted Minority to Confessional Church
The essay argues that Old Belief did not emerge as a popular movement giving voice to the aspirations of ordinary Muscovites but rather as an elite culture that drew its inspiration from erudite churchmen closely affiliated with the Kremlin. The popularization of Old Belief occurred only during the last two decades of the seventeenth century, and was not completed even until the third decade of the eighteenth century. Most important in this proce…

The Violent Old Belief
The Solovki Uprising
Scholars usually regard the Schism of the Russian Church, called the Raskol, as a broad and undifferentiated phenomenon that uniformly affected disparate regions of seventeenth-century Muscovy. Although protests against Patriarch Nikon's revised liturgical books occurred in different areas of Muscovy, local scenarios of Raskol have not received much attention in historical scholarship. As a result we still tend to see manifestations of Raskol in …
