metadata.value: The coexistence of opposite ideological centres of the old-belief and Nikon’s Reform
  shows the richness and variety of Russian northern artistic and spiritual life in the
  Early Modern times. The consequences of these dramatic events in the Russian church
  indicate the impressive scale of these renovations, spreading to vast territories and
  affecting the whole way of living and religious expression. In many aspects, these painful
  processes could be compared with the northern European Reformation. They reflect the
  attempt of the West and East to synchronize to the new way of thinking in the new
  world, where the growth of national self-identity had formed new cultural geographical
  spaces. The leading religious trends of these spaces gave a new meaning to the previous
  relationships between “centre” and “periphery” (Rome and the German/Scandinavian
  North; Moscow and the White Sea and Dvina).
  The faith of the Reformation in the West and the Russian old-believers was based
  upon personal devotion. It manifested in the increasing role of individuality and led to
  an alternative (modern) societal organization, in which the sacred medieval hierarchy
  had been discredited.5 The rejection of hierarchy resulted in various mystical branches
  of Protestantism and Russian religious non-conformity, which made possible the
  absorption of some Protestant ideas in Russia, such as the idea of “Pope-Antichrist”6 or
  the sect of “weepers”.
  The spiritual changes were closely connected to the political background. Some
  consequences of this are clearly visible in the social history of northern Europe and,
  especially, Russia, where most of the rebellions were organized by old-believers (at
  Solovetsky monastery in 1668–1676; by Stepan Razin in 1670–1671; in Moscow 1682;
  by Emelian Pugachev in 1773–1775). As a result, both the Reformation in Europe and
  the Russian Reform resulted in the separation (subordination) of the Church from the
  State, opening a new epoch and proclaiming new values and trends in the development
  of Christian civilization.
