Annotation: " Michel' s is a book that every Russianist should want to read and possess." -- Slavic Review
" Georg Michels' s fascinating book on the Russian Church Schism bristles with interpretive originality and challenges to accepted wisdom. Astounding in its source base, the book carries through on its promise to provide a thorough reassessment of the Russian Schism. For specialists and nonspecialists alike, this innovative account of religious dissent in Russia affords an intriguing comparison to the more familiar Protestant radicalism of the West. . . . The magnificent contribution of this intelligent and engaging book is that it holds so much material and offers so many ideas that it could form the basis of several very different books. Readers should be enjoying it, mining it, and arguing with it for years to come." -- Journal of Modern History
