Old-Believer Martyrs and Religious Discipline at the Turn of the 17th-18th Centuries
The study is devoted to strategies for polemics with the martyr discourse constructed by the Old Believers in relation to themselves and their own saints in the late 17th - early 18th centuries. Anti_Old Believer literature denounced the glorification of martyrs who suffered because of persecution or self-immolation as superstitions. It was part of the religious discipline. The article demonstrates that the veneration of "false" martyrs was chara…
‘If we do not worship idols, then we worship sin in every possible way’
This article examines the specificity of late 17th century preachers’ employment of the topoi of sacrifice to a demon/idol/devil, which have their roots in biblical and Church Fathers’ denunciations of paganism. The article mostly focuses on sermons from the little-studied handwritten collection Statir, created by an unknown author in the Kama Region, and on sermons from the collection Spiritual Dinner (Rus. Obed Dushevnyi) by Simeon Polotsky. Th…
What Was Stefan Yavorsky Silent about? Undelivered Sermons as a Multiple Equation
This article examines the circumstances behind Metropolitan Stefan Yavorsky of Ryazan and Murom’s not delivering a sermon about the truth persecuted everywhere on the Day of St John Chrysostom on November 13, 1708. The text is marked as non dictum in the manuscript by the author. In historiography, Yavorsky’s undelivered sermons are often used to characterise the critical mood of the preacher in the context of the protracted Northern War and the …

This article describes Old Believer polemics about sacrifice via self-immolation and other forms of ‘self-inflicted death’ between the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The main object of condemnation by the Russian state and church authorities was the Old Believer system of sacralising one’s own sufferings (the creation and distribution of related narratives, appeals to popular religiosity, and the veneration of new martyrs). The …
