The Crisis of Religious Toleration in Imperial Russia is about a remarkable, and hitherto untold, episode in Russia's nineteenth-century history when the tsarist regime engaged on a programme of religious persecution directed against Russia's Orthodox dissenters: the Old Believers. It concerns the development of policy in the religious sphere for the modern era, and the conflicts to which this gave rise between leading Russian statesmen within afragmented and competing bureaucracy. It also provides a fascinating insight into how the Autocracy attempted and failed to defend its divine pretensions as the revolutionary age approached, and how it responded todramatic discoveries about the Old Believers' capabilities for subversion. These capabilities had at their source the resourcefulness and determination of Russian peasants and merchants to practise their faith. Their search for salvation led them to lives of concealment in the vast forests of the Empire, to wanderings in the Middle East in search of mythical bishops, and to the ruling courts of the Ottoman and Austrian Empires.
