| Popis: | The question of the practice of implementing state measures of secular and ecclesiastical authorities to combat the illegal marriage relations of the Old Believers on the example of the Tomsk province in the 19th century. The author has studied a rich complex of unique archival data, which made it possible to identify the specifics of the object under study within a specific region. In particular, it was revealed that the initiators in initiating cases of illegal cohabitation, primarily, were local ministers of the official Orthodox Church. At the same time, they demanded that the secular authorities take more decisive measures, namely of an administrative nature, in the fight against the consolidated marriages of the Old Believers. According to the firm conviction of the imperial authorities, unified marriages contributed to the “growth of the split," and, accordingly, in their opinion, one of the effective methods of easing the tendency toward a “split" is precisely the separation of persons who have married together. This process was often carried out using harsh police measures. However, in the end, imperial officials and clergymen were forced to state that neither spiritual convictions nor forceful influence brought the expected results. |
