Jews and Old Believers are two communities that have played an important role in national history, and at the same time experienced repressive pressure from both the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. The book by Mikhail Kizilov and Grigory Bondarenko is one of the first attempts to comprehensively analyze the inter-confessional and intercultural dialogue between these two groups in the 18th and 21st centuries. How did Jews convert to Old Believership? How were mixed marriages performed? How did Old Believers help Jews escape during the Holocaust? And what were the conflicts between members of these two communities? The authors find answers to these questions in published and archival written sources, as well as numerous interviews conducted in Jewish and Old Believer communities in the former Russian Empire and the USSR (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Transnistria, Latvia). Mikhail Kizilov is a historian, orientalist, specialist in Jewish history and culture, Doctor of Philosophy (Oxford), employee of the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz (Germany). Grigory Bondarenko - Candidate of Historical Sciences, Master of Philosophy (Oxford), lecturer at Beijing Capital Pedagogical University (China), parishioner of the Tver Old Believer community of the church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Moscow.
