Religious Refugees Who Opposed Moscow and fled to Siberia. What happened to them?

- Agafia Lykova is perhaps the most famous hermit living in the Siberian wilderness. Not everyone knows that she's a descendant of the Old Believers, Russian Orthodox Christians who fled to this frontier 300 years ago fearing repression and persecution from Moscow's official Church. Today, Old Believers are still found in secluded Siberian communities, where they maintain peculiar traditions inherited from their ancestors.

I met some Old Believers when i lived in Portland, Oregon and Mount Angel, Oregon. They are very peaceful people who live by their religious convictions. I admire them for that.❤
Those are my cousins lol
Old Believers live all over the world, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, including such places as Alaska, Canada and their adjoining islands, who came over there back several hundreds years when otter hunting for fur was a big thing. Also here in Lithuania we have their churches pretty much in every region and from what I remember there's no way to tell them apart from the traditional Orthodox churches when looking at them from the outside.
I am russian, and I am watching the documentary about Russia in english and I learn new things that I haven't ever seen or read in russian books or TV. Wow!
I am not Russian but I am interesting to learn about my neighbours 😊
Fr
I absolutely agree with you as a Russian myself. Love these Russian videos
Same. This guy is amazing
As a non Russian I can tell you this is probably PsyOp and bs. They are doing everything possible to divide you and start infighting. “Divide and conquer”.
I might be wrong but really now is not the time for this.
As an American Christian preacher, I certainly understand the arguments and debates between different denominations of Christian groups. But I was completely ignorant of the divide between Russian Orthodox people, before watching your video. Nice work, Konstantine.
Более того, сначала они бежали в Сибирь. Когда пришла советская власть, многие из них были вынуждены бежать в Китай. Когда Китай стал коммунистическим, они обосновались в Бразилии и живут там до сих пор. Некоторые теперь возвращаются.
Hey there, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really glad to hear that the video was informative and helpful. It's incredibly important to understand the nuances and differences between various faith groups, even within the same overall religion. We've all got so much to learn from each other. Stay tuned for more content like this, and keep those insightful comments coming!
@@RealReporter Hi ar Siberian Old Believers like Lipovans ?
@@Sven-1980 the split was caused by the same events
@@i8Hardcore Многие живут в Московской области. Не удивлюсь, если большинство.
LOVED every second of this! As an Assyrian Orthodox, I pray that everyone around the world finds salvation through our savior Jesus.
The first Russians I ever met were two young Old Believers from Oregon, brothers aged 21 and 18. Their family came from Sinkiang.
We met in Washington state, where they led me into an Olympic Peninsula forest to a small, wooden shack. They hollered something in Russian, and out came two older men in suspenders and knee boots with beards down to their bellies. They were Russian tree thinners. They spoke not one word of English, but I got to know them through my young interpreters. Inside the cabin may as well have been in Siberia. Two beds and a barrel stove between them. No light but what came through the door. The men spoke to me of their glorious freedom in this new land.
Later, outside, my friend showed me a pit he dug to keep the canned food and bottles of wine he paid the old men with.
But they were free, and the nearest communists didn't know where to find them.
Then I was treated to a demonstration of Russian skill at tree thinning. The old men donned their tin hats, fired up their chainsaws and tore into the forest like mad bulls. My friend told me they could work like that all day long.
That was 45 years ago, and the two old men are now, probably, free indeed. My young interpreter would be about 70. I wonder what he's thinking today?
I hadn't thought of this in many, many years. Thanks for the video, which brought it all back to me.
Thank you sharing this story. 🙏
Wow so interesting 😮
My mother was born in the same Chinese province (normally written as Xinjiang ) and was part of the exodus of Russians from China to Australia, while others - like those you met - moved to the USA. The Russians lived and worked along side the Uigur people who are now being persecuted by the Chinese Government. It is very likely our families knew each other. Although our family wasn't Old Believer (they were Pentecostal Christians), under the persecution of the Chinese Government it was necessary for all the Christians to help one another in order to survive.
The Russians out in Siberia are much like the Amish and Mennonite communities out in Pennsylvania rural countryside....similar faith, lifestyle, work ethics...even the landscape natural resources are similar...just happens to be on other side of the planet.
US history, as you know it, is a lie.
“We the People” is “Co”mm”Uni”sm. They share the same derivation/etymology. They mean the same thing.
What you’ve been taught about fascism is a lie. It’s always been state capitalism…

Hey there, thanks so much for your kind words! It's truly amazing to see how my work is connecting people from all walks of life, from Greece to Norway and beyond. I'm glad you've found a new respect for the old believers. I sincerely hope you get the chance to visit Siberia one day and experience its beauty firsthand. Thanks again for your support, and greetings right back at you from here! Stay tuned for more, my friend
@@RealReporter truly connecting people=)
You did notice the video creator was treating the Old Believers with disdain, didn't you?
There are Old Believers in northern Alberta, Canada.
SCOAN THESSALONICA CHANNEL.
Thank you for sharing. As an American, it is comforting to witness people who live so close to the land and remain faithful to their beliefs.

I visited Russia few times and it’s an amazing country, rich in family values, Church, culture and more.
@@eliseereclus3475 Have you ever visited Russia? And name me one nation in the world that has no murderers?!?!
By the way, which nation has school shootings? Let’s see how honest you are at least with yourself.
By rich family life do you mean rampant alcoholism, drug addiction and highest abortion rate in Europe?
@@JoeSmith-sl9bq Russia is not in Europe! Lol not only that, I live in USA, been to almost all the big cities from NY to SF., and I believe we are the nation that has school shootings, homelessness under every bridge, men not knowing which bathrooms to use, schools turning boys into girls and much more.
Despite entrenched comunism that lasted over 70 years .That's impressive
@@JoeSmith-sl9bqthey have their problems. Highest abortion rate would be in China
As an American im so glad to have found your wonderful channel. After watching this episode of "old believers," I think you would enjoying coming to the states and look into one of our Amish communities.
Keep up with the great content and thank you for showing us "Real Russia"!
Thank you very much for feedback, glad to hear you find my work insightful. I would absolutely love to visit an Amish community as well as cover other stories in the States. It only getting a visa wouldn’t be such a pain 😅
@@RealReporterWade across the Rio Grand River and there you will be. No paperwork, no vaccinations, no money needed.
Oh man, this is simply one of your best.
I am Dutch, not Russian but especially the conversation with the couple in the house touched me.
After you say that at the end of the day people are so alike where ever they live.
And that is true. No matter where you live. We are all mostly the same. Same dreams, same wishes, same challenges.
What I found striking is that I feel much the same about values as the couple in the house. Children are spoiled. People have become lazy. It is true.
To my opinion, when we would talk with eachother and REALLY learn to get to know each other, there will be so much more respect.
I could tell you so much about my personal experiences but this is a TH-cam comment. Not an essay about respect. So perhaps when we meet, whomever you are, where ever you are, we can discuss this topic. I am already looking forward.
Meanwhile, open up to people, listen, understand, ask questions and stay safe.❤
Hey there! First off, thank you very much for watching the video all the way through, and for leaving such a thoughtful comment. It's truly heartening to know that the message at the end resonated with you. After all, It's all about communication, understanding, and respect, as you so beautifully put it. Thank you for sharing your insights here. I really enjoyed it even though it's not an essay 😄
@@RealReporter Hahaha, thank you. And your welcome.☺
Отлично сказано. Успехом и процветания тебе и твоей семье. Божьих благословений.

very well said. So much hate and misunderstanding around today's world...
These isolated communities are sort of creating linguistic, religious and cultural time capsules. Very interesting.
True 👍
I am an Orthodox convert and am getting old and more than anything I want to see Russia. And the beautiful Churches and wonderful people. God bless the Russian Federation!
They are truly gorgeous places and I have been in them. Hopefully God will preserve this great place from evil dominators.
The soul of Russia lies not it her government
@@Cocoisagordonsetter who are evil Dominator ??..
@@aghileshemdani3144 LOL people who run countries, people with power, shall I name names??? I think you can figure it out.
Despite the disparities in customs and beliefs, these people are living closer to God than the rest of us. I envy them. Thank you for their story.
Mолодец! You succeeded in your quest. It reminded me of a trek I made years ago to a beautiful Old Believer village in Alaska. It is in a gorgeous setting along Kachemak bay on Alaska's Kenai peninsula. The road did not go to the village - I had to park my car and hike. After reaching the main road, the villagers disappeared into their homes as I walked by. The village was very tidy and the women always had their heads covered. When I would encounter them outside of the village they would often wear beautifully made traditional clothing - both men and women. You might find it interesting to visit old Russian Orthodox churches elsewhere in Alaska. The parishoners are nearly all Alaska Natives. Hints of Russian heritage exist with some people's last names and words they adopted into the native languages. Can you guess what word they use for 'white man'? The first white men they met were cossacks. The Athabascan Indian word for 'white man' is 'gissuck'. The Yupik Eskimo word for white man is 'gussick'. Another one - Aleuts from the Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula - more of them have Russian last names than any other ethnic group. Their special ocean hunting boat is called a 'bidirka', yes - байдарка. And of course, every native language is Alaska has the same word for tea - чай. Keep up the great work - I am a rare American that has visited and worked in Russia and Siberia - awesome places!
What an incredible journey you've had! Your trip to the Old Believer village in Alaska sounds absolutely fascinating, and it's amazing to see how these traditions and cultures have persevered in such remote corners of the world. It's always intriguing how languages overlap and influence one another over time. Thanks for sharing, I'm certainly learning a lot! And yes, maybe one day I'll get the chance to visit those old Russian Orthodox churches in Alaska, it would super cool! Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your unique experiences
@@RealReporter Would love to see you in Alaska. Let me know when you can come. I forgot to mention what I know of the trail of the Alaska Old Believers. They left Russia through China during the Bolshevik revolution. After years in China they booked passage to Brazil. From there groups moved to Oregon in the USA and others went to Uruguay. The Old Believers in Alaska are from the Oregon group - they moved to Alaska from Oregon in the 1960s. They settled in their own now thriving isolated villages similar to what you visited. Hard working people.
@@kirbybranham8759 Some of these people returned to Russia in the Far East. Here is a report about them, there was a report on this channel about how they lived in Latin America. th-cam.com/video/DDzQcBFgAGU/w-d-xo.html
@@nmiss8005 Thanks for sharing.
Edit- I know two communities. One in Washington/Oregon state. One in northern Alberta,Canada...along the Athabasca River. This group did not come down from Alaska. Just Google ' Russian old believers Alberta'. Blessings.
I quite enjoy this Constantine. We have some Old Believer villages here in Alaska (Nikolaevsk is perhaps the best known.), folks that traveled from Siberia, through China, Brazil, and Oregon up to here.
This guy should have 10 times the views and subscribers. His videos are so well made, and interesting.
Oh thank you.I am german with roots in the north and the east.Our whole area here in the northeast was brought to life by slavic people.This was very inspiring to watch.keep up the great work.
I am South African and was thrilled to see Misha's Springbuck rugby jersey!! Inwould love to know his connection to South Africa. Ps... your video is so interesting... I will never be able to adventure this far away but your video gives me a wide open window to this culture
Почему ты не можешь путешевствовать!?
Was thinking the same when I saw that jersey. Amazing
Can't compare my emotions from any of your new video to anything but a child excitement. It's such a joy. Comment is written before I started watching and has nothing to do with a topic itself. Just a big thanks and huge appreciation for your job ❤
I've heard of the 'old believers' in Russia before and really enjoyed this film, thank you for showing us and telling us about the historical context too, that was interesting.
I'm very interested in the Old Believers too, but this video had a disdainful tone towards them.
You can also watch a video about Russian old believers in Brazil
I live in Montana, United States. This place reminds me of Montana, but appears to be much more peaceful because it’s so untouched by modernization. It was beautiful to watch and appreciate these people as I am a believer as well. Thank you for sharing this.
Excellent journalism. Thank you for the privilege of looking inside their community.
Thank you for your nice words!
This film deserves more views. Thank you, Real Reporter.
Thanks for watching! 🤝

Hey there! It's fantastic to know my work is reaching all the way to Canada. Your kind words mean a lot, really. Glad you're enjoying the content and thanks for your support. Keep an eye out for more!
There are Old Believers north of Edmonton.

Спасибо вам. Приезжайте в гости.
Unfortunately Russia has the same problem with Muslim migrants as the western countries. They commit a lot of murdering, raping and so on. Read the latest news - during the last week such migrants removed the scalp from the head of 19 years old Russian guy, killed and raped several Russian women of different age (both very young and very old ones).
Ещё бы было хорошо что бы вы перестали давать украинцам оружие и заставили бы их пойти на мирные переговоры, так как мы простые люди в России уже очень устали от этого кошмара!
@@mryouben No.
I wouldn't say that but ok
You and Mischa truly entered "God's Country" -- so beautiful and simple. This is a lesson we all need but few get the opportunity. To exercise your values and beliefs outside of urban interference is a "once in a lifetime" experience - what a beautiful and diverse nation -- Well done, Konstantin!
Thank you! Glad you thoroughly enjoyed this video. The trip indeed was amazing, and I’m glad I could share it with my old buddy.
Thank you for your continued support!
Пацаны понравились, мы такими в детстве были, рыбалка, озера, реки, лес была наша стихия.

Yes, your videos are gems. I can imagine how difficult it is to make such a video, but the result is worth it. Russia is a beautiful country and Russians are wonderful people. I never believed I would write this, but as a Westerner I am fed up with our disgusting woke culture and I am not surprised that thousands of people from Western countries are fleeing to Russia (statistics can be looked up online) because they want to live a normal life. In the video we can see how both of you are polite and respectful to the villagers. I like it very much. This is one of my favorite channels on all of TH-cam and I am truly grateful for this channel. And not to forget, MISHA ROCKS!
Thank you, man! Always glad to hear your feedback, and I’m really happy to have you as part of this community 🤝
Anti woke belong in Russia. Go away traitors of America.
Ray, this video could have been a "gem" if the video creator hadn't been so disdainful of the Old Believers.
@@earlysda Huh? I didn't hear any disdain. You are way overthinking here, pal.
@@Cocoisagordonsetter Coco, no doubt you didn't hear any disdain. Only those who are thinking and know about disdain will recognize it when they see it. Actually, this video had many little putdowns and snide remarks about the Old Believers.
Hello from Alberta Canada - thank you for a great video.
A joint venture between the Kennedy Family and Tolstoy Foundation, offered Old Believers living in China, Brazil, and Turkey the opportunity to come to the USA in the 1960s. They were first settled in NJ then most moved to Oregon. As the community grew, they split into groups returning to Brazil, some going to Alaska near Cordova, and Alberta in Alaska. The epicenter for Old Believers is now Woodburn, Oregon. They number over 20,000. The schools have adapted to their liturgical calendar as have employers. They run berry farms, construction companies, and commercial fishing boats. In the 1980s, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia came to Woodburn to bow down to the Old Believer leaders and apologize for their mistreatment hundreds of years earlier. There have been quite a few books and documentaries made about them.
Of course, there have been worthy Soviet Russians; the ones who HATE Communism.
Very interesting video, thanks! They remind me of the Hutterites we have here in Canada, who actually immigrated to North America from Russia. They are not Orthodox, but the women dress the same way and they are devout followers of their religion. And 30-40 years ago they stayed away from modern technology too, no radios, tv, etc. But the last few years they have started embracing it more, especially in the agriculture areas. In fact they are some of the biggest, most advanced farmers in the country now.
Канадские духоборы? Вы о них говорите? У них изумительная песенная традиция
@@rodnoemoe No, Doukhobors are a different people that came to Canada from Russia. Hutterites were originally from Austria, then moved to Russia, then to Canada. Their language is a German dialect, not Russian.
@@northsaskguy7878 интересно, спасибо, изучу подробнее
@@northsaskguy7878 есть ещё амиши и меннониты, о них есть видео на ютубе.
Духоборцы духовные Християне как и хрысты и хлысты и Молокане и прочие . Они не Православные Староверы Християне. А так называемые Духовные Християне. Проще говоря они имеют отношения к Православным Староверам Старообрядцам такое же как и гуситы с англиканами к нам )
Your channel has been a great find. I hope viewership grows exponentially, it's just quality reporting. I'm American and I've been amazed how much we have in common with the Russian people. Day to day, friendship and family, cost of living and employment. We are all the same. Thank you. Looking forward to the next report. A+

Loved this episode, I was wishing it wouldn't end, these people and Russia as a whole are soo fascinating. Thank you for this.

Amazing video. No matter what is going to happen with the world, these people will survive, and like the statement at the end: you can see the purity of their soul in their eyes. I think it's not them who should be changed by the outside world, but the other way around.
There is an old cross in my workshop that I found in my house after buying it: I want to renovate it but I've been postponing it for years (always had other things to do): this vid gave me the inspiration to start it right away and put it on the wall. Thank you.
There are a lot of old believers aroundo the world. Here in Brazil, they keep their faith, wear long sleeved shirts and beards, don't share tableware, however practice very high level agriculture, includind GPS systems and all that stuff.

But they are free to live the way they want to, free to believe what they want, no one is trying to force them to conform or change how they live. How many in the West can do that?

As a Muslim, I have much respect for the old believers.
I am a Christian , and I have much respect for Muslims. Especially after I've met them in the Arab desert, and discovered how pious they are - I am pious, how much they protect human dignity and how much they protect life itself. They were miles away from Western descriptions.
Go bоmb yourself on innocent people
Hi 💥💣
Muslims have much in common with old believers as we grapple with coerced liberalism respect to them
All believers are modest in dress , civilised. Whether u r greek orthodox catholic sunni shia or jew
Absolutely wonderful report. I am always excited about communities living at the fringes and you have done terrific work bringing us closer to these Old Believers I knew nothing about. As usual, great camera work. Keep up the good films coming, my friend!
Долго откладывал видео. И очень рад, что все таки посмотрел. Это о глубине нашей Родины больше, чем просто репортаж о других людях. И о расколах внутри нее, которые мы все всё равно пытаемся преодолеть и стать ближе. Очень надеюсь, что это будет касаться всех славян, что мы сможем объединиться и уйти от разрозненности, даже не смотря на некоторые незначительные различия в наших культурах. Спасибо.
Absolutely amazing, loads of respect to all involved.
The production quality of your videos are absolutely incredible
Ok I subscribed. Enjoyed u very much and learned something new.
This is an excellent documentary of a forgotten people. I learned a lot, and appreciate the work of both you and Misha in this.
Misha is grateful to have you as a friend who is willing to travel with him on his spiritual journey and have you document it.
You were right it is heartwarming to see that people that are so orthodox that other orthodox are not orthodox enough that I as a western person still investigating orthodox can agree on things like help. Parents pamper their kids too much. I found that so funny it’s really cool to know that we can find unity in some things probably the most important things. God bless you.
The "Old Believer" Russian communities are well known in Alaska, Canada, and Oregon. They continue to maintain traditional beliefs, dress, and customs. But they're very successful in business here: Logging and construction Good guys.
My mother’s people immigrated from the Caucasus region to western Canada en mass in 1899.Doukhobor is the name of their religious sect that broke away from the Russian Orthodox Church like the Old Believers. Some of the traditions between the two movements are strikingly similar.
Do you know the differences? What do they do differently?
Beautiful film. I love Russia and its people and spent some of my younger years studying Russian history and I am deeply saddened by the current situation globally but it doesn't change my opinion on this broad culture and people. I simply love that no matter how much you learn about Russia there is always something new and interesting to learn. I hope to visit again someday, preferably some of these farther flung regions which I was very close to visiting before the virus and then the war happened ... I guess it shall wait for now. Cheers.
Отличный отчет! 🔥👍
Примирение: мы должны преодолеть наши разногласия, чтобы жить вместе.
Спасибо КРР!
If you are going to continue historical videos on your channel, you could also visit Volga Germans. Big colony of ethnic Germans in the middle of Russia. This topic could be as interesting as old believers and not very known.
Если будешь продолжать развивать исторические видео на канале, то можешь рассказать о Поволжских Немцах. Большая колония этнических немцев посреди России. Эта тема может быть столь же интересной, как и староверы, и тоже не очень известна.
They have gone to Siberia and then to Germany....
They moved to Siberia and Altay
Until 1941, a lot of Germans lived in the Volga region and the Krasnodar Territory. But with the beginning of the war, they were forcibly deported to Altai and Kazakhstan. My mother-in-law is German. In 1941, her family was deported from the Krasnodar Territory to Kazakhstan. The train went through the endless steppes of Kazakhstan and stopped every 100 km to drop people from 2-3 wagons into the bare steppe. People lived in dugouts, food was brought to them once a month. After the first winter, they were reduced by half. Not many old people and children managed to survive until spring.
They also moved to the United States; Nebraska is full of them and Randy Meisner (of “The Eagles”) from Scottbluff is a descendent of them. S and N Dakota, Kansas and Wyoming were all popular destinations too. These immigrants fled Russia just in time, most got out shortly before WW1 and the communist takeover.
Russia should immigrate allied countrys.
Beautiful. Wonderful to see people who still believe God's commandments are relevant to daily life. I miss those days.

When my grandpa told me about his travels up North, like near Vorogovo, he said he'd meet old believers there too, and that they mostly live on fishing and that if you drink from their cup, they just throw it into the river. Thank you for the opportunity to see that on video 👍
Wow! How are you feeling? How’s mom?
These ticks are nasty, one should be very careful walking into a forest.
Thanks for watching and for your feedback! 🤝
@@RealReporterthank you, I'm feeling just fine except for a minor fever, mom's completely well, although our both tick squads were positive. That's the funny part, I never went into any thick forests, and in general, I only showed my friend some popular tourist places, we stayed on the main pathway, and we also used a repellent spray. The doctors say this year is a tick boom year. Maybe it's because of a record hot spring. Welp, at least I got to swim in a lake in early June, never had that before either.
I hope you're well, and that you won't be discouraged from travelling in the region because of the current tick anomaly. PS: glad to see you've been getting more views this year 👍
As always, your content is wonderful. This is one of the best
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you for a great and insightful video.
Моя учительница по рисованию была из семьи старообрядцев. Они не такие строгие были. Она рассказывала, что бабушка хранила старинную библию и в семье соблюдались некоторые правила в отношении чужих людей.
We have Old believers in several areas of Alaska
Love your recent video (and all of them haha). Please continue your work. Greetings from Canada.
Loved this travelogue!! Very facinating!!! These people are blessed!! Thank you for doing this!! Most people will never have the opportunity to go to these place, or meet these people. We get to expand our understanding of others beliefs, and the way they live by courageous people like you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was very interesting and good to watch. Glad to see you have made something that has nothing to do with politics and is just about people. Good on ya.
I love the moments of the interactions! I see that we may not agree with the way they see the world and vice versa, there is a respect for each other as humans. "In my opinion your way is wrong, but it's your life and only you can be the judge on how to live, not me"
Как бы мне сыновей на каникулы туда отправить
😄
Про своего тоже подумал : )
А я и так своих напрягаю по дому что то делать и дачу купил, чтобы самому своими руками делать и сын приучался.
@@RealReporter если организуете лагерь летний для мальчиков совместно с председателем общины. Сообщите пожалуйста. Как мне кажется парни могли бы помочь с уборкой урожая, починкой чего нужно и подили бы простой крестьянской жизнью на свежем воздухе.
We are not all hidden or camera shy? Seeing all these comments like we are hidden in Alaska, we are not! My husband is russian old believer and I converted in. People go inside because people come to the village without being respectful of those who live here.
Thanks for this, really good stuff.
This video was real well done. Great Job
Спасибо большое за работу. Получила колосальное удовольствие от фильма. Какие открытые лица, улыбки, неспешная манера разговора.. Все было очень интересно!
Очень интересный фильм. Прекраснейшие места и очень интересные люди. Вы там говорили , что у мужчины не голливудская внешность. Его внешность в сто раз лучше, он выглядит настоящим, искренним с красивыми чистыми глазами .Настоящие живые люди, не испорченные внешним миром. Такие же как и все что их окружает, живущие в гармонии с окружающей их природой. Очень приятное послевкусие после просмотра фильма. Огромное спасибо!
GREAT !! YOUR FRIEND HAS GOT A SPRINGBOK JERSEY ON. GLORY TO MY COUNTRY...SOUTH AFRICA !!!!!
Различия старообрядцев и православных гораздо глубже. Люди они хорошие, настоящие. Старообрядцев много на севере Нижегородской области.
Great video ! Thanks for posting .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video. Nice to see such humble community who work so hard and live life with so little.
I absolutely enjoyed this !
Another great video!
