metadata.value: This work elucidates the little studied history of the persecution of the Ambur skete of Philippian
  Old Believers in 1879–1880. The article is based on the archive materials of the Russian State Archive
  of Literature and Arts and the State Archive of Archangelsk Region. This the first time that the authors
  have introduced the letters of the Old Believer A. I. Permyakov to the populist (narodnik) and researcher
  of Russian religious life, A. S. Prugavin. The letters reveal previously unknown details of the relations
  between the officials and the inhabitants of the Ambur skete at the time under consideration: the denunciation
  of a local priest to the Archangelsk police department; the resolution of the local authorities
  to destroy the skete cells; petitions of Permyakov and Prugavin to the governor of Archangelsk and petitions
  of the skete-dwellers to the governor’s office and the minister of Internal Affairs on the unlawful
  persecutions of the skete; the sad outcome of the сonfrontation of the skete-dwellers and officials. The
  research elucidates the history of the Ambur skete, historiography of the subject and analyzes the official
  policy toward the Old Believers in the second half of the 19 thcentury. On the basis of Permyakov’s letters,
  the history of persecution of the skete-dwellers in 1879–1880 is given a detailed description along with
  the part Permyakov and Prugavin played in these events. They both were openly sympathetic to the Old
  Believers and tried to help them in every possible way. In particular, Prugavin published notes on the
  persecution of the Ambur skete in different periodicals while Permyakov patronized the community.
  The authors conclude that the repressive measures implemented against the Ambur skete-dwellers by the
  officials of the Arkhangelsk region reflected both the general repressive policy of the Russian government
  towards Old Believers and the vagueness of legislation on the issue of this religious group whose secrecy
  offered broad scope for the official injustice towards them in the province. Refs 17.
