Personal Sources in the Study of Worldview and Practices of the Postniki

Abstract
This publication introduces an so far unpublished source from the history of the Russian religious movements, in particular the so called community of “fasting” (those who follow the fast, postniki). The source is a relatively small hand-written archive with a collection of spiritual songs (rospevtsy) as well as a few notes made by the followers of the movement. The texts add a new light to our knowledge of the prayers, ritual practices and moral attitudes of the postniki.
