EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Believers, 1890: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken in 1890, depicts a group of Old Believers, an Eastern Orthodox Christian sect that split from the Russian Orthodox Church in the 17th century due to religious disagreements. The Old Believers, also known as the Old Ritualists or the Old Believers Church, have preserved their traditional beliefs and practices, including their distinctive clothing and way of life. In this image, a group of Old Believers are seen gathered together, dressed in their traditional garb. The women wear long, flowing skirts and headscarves, while the men don long robes and hats. Their serious expressions and the way they are looking directly at the camera suggest that they are aware of being photographed. The setting is simple, with a bare background, drawing attention to the subjects and their traditional clothing. The photograph is part of the "Views of the Yakutsk Region" album, which contains 151 photographs taken in the late 19th century. The album documents various aspects of life in the region, including the Lena River shore, different forms of transportation, post offices, and domestic scenes. Several of the photographs are signed with the initials I.P., indicating that they were taken by an unknown photographer from Irkutsk State University. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Old Believers and the traditions they have preserved. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Russia and the diversity of its people.
