The struggle of the Orthodox Church and the tsarist government with Old Believers in the 1950's and 1960's. (for example, Kharkiv province)

Abstract

The history of the Russian Old Believers who lived in Ukraine, as well as the question of the main methods and features of the power struggle with representatives of this peculiar ethno-confessional group and the ways of their adaptation to the conditions that existed in the Russian Empire in the middle of the XIX century remain a little researched topic. So, we can talk about the scientific relevance of a particular problem.
