Bolonev Firs Fedosovich Biography

In Buryatia, the large -scale celebration of the flight of the first immigrants - the Old Believers, should be paid tribute to the government of the Republic of Buryatia, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Buryatia, that money was found in such an economically difficult year in order to celebrate this important event for the whole of Russia. The background - the Old Believers are the guardians of the antiquity and the faith that was in Rus' until the time of Patriarch Nikon.

In the year, Nikon became the Patriarch with the support of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. He was a good diplomat and a tough person who had already issued a decree on the abolition of biceps. From now on, it was prescribed to overshadow the procession by the Cross not by two fingers, but by three. Earthly bow, walking around the sun, caused the indignation of the "old -lump" who wrote the petition to the king Alexei Mikhailovich.

The petition was transferred to the Patriarch Nikon, who began the persecution of those who turned to the king for help. The first cross was torn from the bishop of Pavel Kolomensky. This was made publicly and confused the spirit of priests, many of whom succumbed to persuasion. The adopted new way was supposed to be 50 rubles - a lot of money at that time.

The work with the people led the educated people of that time - therefore, half of the population managed to persuade the changes quite quickly.

But there were those who stubbornly stood on their own. As a result, the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich and the rule of Patriarch Nikon were marked by powerful uprisings. The consequences of the split - after these events, the division of the Russian people begins into two parts - one persuading - the Old Believers, and the other - the one that reconciled with the new faith - the new uniform.

As Alexander Solzhenitsyn said, there would be no split of the 17th century, there would be no revolutions of the year, because they would live more calmly. The Donskoy, Tver, Kuban Cossacks were Old Believers, therefore there were so many uprisings - both Razinsky and Pugachevskoye. According to the new regulations for wearing a beard, the Old Believers paid a double tribute, for which they were named after the Urals - the “double -eaters” of the Old Believers until the reign of Nicholas II were not allowed for public service.

Peter I closed the road there, issuing a decree prohibiting the appointment of the Old Believers to leading places. Some reliefs were given to Alexander II. But since the time of Catherine II, the Old Believers begin to raise his head. Kozma Soldatenkov built a hospital, which became known to everyone by the name of the famous doctor Botkin. Railways, cars and planes in Russia began to build the Old Believers.

Families in Buryatia - under Catherine II, the Old Believers were exiled to the territory of Siberia in order to master and develop stiffness. Community and mutual assistance characterized the Old Believers, who, thanks to this, were quickly mastered on new lands. They gathered together to chop the huts. Where one can’t cope with one - they coped together. Back in the x years, I witnessed this.

The devotion of the old book, icons, traditions of family are strong. The Old Believers are the guardians of that antiquity, they retained spiritual and material culture, community and hard work. Although hard work, perhaps, is not that. Drinking, smoking was prohibited. The smoking tobacco was considered worse than the dog. Family were good defenders of their homeland. Five heroes of the Soviet Union came out of our family.

Stay forever ” - we have retained a suit of a model of the 15-16th century. Sarafans, rumors, kokoshniki have been preserved almost unchanged. Do you know the word? Kichka guarded a woman. Kokoshnik was worn by married women. The clothes were embroidered with gold and not washed, so that it would not lose color. Festive clothes were dressed extremely rarely and protected, passing from generation to generation.

Protopop Avvakum said: “Lie it forever and ever, as expected! Save forever. " The split continues - the great split continues to this day. All the charters of the Old Believer Church were accepted equivalent, but the Russian Orthodox Church did not repent to the Old Believers. It is necessary to repent, then we can talk about the unity of churches. Inside the Old Believers, various rumors are preserved - the currents that arose due to the fact that the discrepancies gradually appeared inside the church.

This was due to the fact that the Old Believers began to lack their priests and had to invite fugitive priests in order to bury and crown. Hence the name - "Flying Opopovshchina." Some of the Old Believers did not accept the priesthood and began to be called the "crypto." There are several consent and a lot, but of course I would like them to unite - there are no persecution, freedom of religion is restored, there is nothing to share.

Then the Old Believers will get stronger and help each other. Here the question is that the authorities - metropolitans and bishops put the interests of the church and society above personal. This is my opinion. Relations with other peoples - I believe that folk diplomacy was better than the actions of any official government. Saltykov-Shchedrin wrote that the Old Believers knew how to quickly negotiate.

Arriving in Buryatia, the family soon tied out economic relations with the Buryats.They rented land from the Buryats, for the summer they took cattle for grazing. There were mixed marriages. If the Buryats accepted the old faith, baptized, then they became family, because Christianity does not recognize national differences. There was a mutual influence of cultures: the Russians taught the drill to mow hay, plow, but they accepted sheep breeding at the Buryats.

The names of borrowings are preserved both in the Buryat and Russian languages. Thanks to the persecution, the Old Believers were in the TI countries of the world from Alaska to the southern latitudes. But many want to return to their homeland - to where the black land and the climate familiar to the Russian person.
