metadata.value: The paper discusses the main achievements and problems in the relationship of Old Believer communities
  and the state in the last quarter of a century — in the post-Soviet period of Russian history. Old Believers
  communities came to the beginning of this stage of its history largely weakened. Accordingly, there were pressing
  task of revival, increasing a number of parishes, reconstruction of religious infrastructure, development of new
  models of relations with the state, the Russian Orthodox Church and the society. The paper considers the postsoviet
  key legislation in religious sphere and its impact on the Old Believers communities, legal opportunities and
  restrictions for as Old Believers, their adapting to state policy at both the federal and at the regional level. The
  article analyzes both positive aspects of the relationship of the Old Believers and state and conflict issues between
  them. Special attention is paid to the discussions within the Old Believer community regarding the optimal
  balance between, on the one hand, the autonomy of churches and, on the other hand, their openness, proximity
  and contacts with government agencies, other religions, society as a whole. It is concluded that the basic
  conditions for the development of the Old Believers’ confessions, the most important problems are solved in the
  last decades. Currently, further development of the Old Believers’ confessions depends on their internal efforts
  and resources to increase community network, the integration of the churches as a whole, the development of
  all components of religious infrastructure, achievement of financial independence, creating their own system of
  education, and training of church personnel.
