See Raskolnik.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]Raskolnik \Ras*kol"nik\ (r[a^]s*k[o^]l"n[i^]k), n.; pl.
Raskolniki (r[a^]s*k[o^]l"n[i^]k*[=e]) or Raskolniks.
[Russ. raskol'nik dissenter, fr. raskol dissent.]
The name applied by the Russian government to any subject of
the Greek faith who dissents from the established church. The
Raskolniki embrace many sects, whose common characteristic is
a clinging to antique traditions, habits, and customs. The
schism originated in 1667 in an ecclesiastical dispute as to
the correctness of the translation of the religious books.
The dissenters, who have been continually persecuted, are
believed to number about 20,000,000, although the Holy Synod
officially puts the number at about 2,000,000. They are
officially divided into three groups according to the degree
of their variance from orthodox beliefs and observances, as
follows: I. "Most obnoxious." the
Judaizers; the
Molokane, who refuse to recognize civil authority or to
take oaths; the
Dukhobortsy, or
Dukhobors, who are communistic, marry without ceremony, and
believe that Christ was human, but that his soul reappears
at intervals in living men; the
Khlysty, who countenance anthropolatory, are ascetics,
practice continual self-flagellation, and reject marriage;
the
Skoptsy, who practice castration; and a section of the
Bezpopovtsy, or priestless sect, which disbelieve in
prayers for the Czar and in marriage. II. "Obnoxious:" the
Bezpopovtsy, who pray for the Czar and recognize marriage.
III. "Least obnoxious:" the
Popovtsy, who dissent from the orthodox church in minor
points only. [Written also rascolnik.]
