Peter T. De Simone is Associate Professor in the Department of History at Utica College, New York. He received his PhD from Ohio State University specializing in the Russian Orthodox Old Rite as well as Russian, European, and Religious history and has published in peerreviewed journals and presented at conferences internationally on the Old Believers.

In this valuable new book, Peter De Simone examines the world of the Old Believers in Imperial Russia, from the eighteenth century through the early twentieth century. These religious sectarians, despite the persecution they faced, played a prominent role in the country's social and economic life. Focusing on the Rogozhskoe community in Moscow, De Simone shows that Old Believer families were able to maintain their religious beliefs even as they established powerful merchant dynasties. His work makes a major contribution to Russian religious history and to the history of Imperial Russia more generally.

David L. Hoffmann, Distinguished
Professor of History, the Ohio State University

A penetrating study of an Old Believer community in the heartland of Russia across three centuries. De Simone's special focus on the Rogozhskoe cemetery group in Moscow illuminates the social activity, sacred spaces and dogma, church architecture and self-identity of Old Rite communities as a whole. The book succeeds in enriching our understanding of the complexity of religious life and the dynamics of urban society in tsarist Russia.

Building on I.B.Tauris established record publishing Russian studies titles for both academic and general readers, the Library of Modern Russia will showcase the work of emerging and established writers who are setting new agendas in the field.

At a time when potentially dangerous misconceptions and misunderstandings about Russia abound, titles in the series will shed fresh light and nuance on Russian history. Volumes will take the idea of Russia in its broadest, cultural sense and cover the entirety of the multi-ethnic lands that made up imperial Russia and the Soviet Union. Ranging in chronological scope from the Romanovs to the present day, the books will foster a community of scholars and readers devoted to a sharper understanding of the Russian experience, past and present.
