The famous Russian writer Daniil Lukich Mordovtsev talks about the union of the ascetic schism with the unstoppable freemen in one of the most difficult periods of Russian history in his works: the novel “The Great Schism” and the story “For Whose Sins?” The main characters of the books are Patriarch Nikon, archpriest Avvakum, Stepan Razin and, of course, anxious and troubled times.
