The Old Believers exhibit at LoC was just before the fall of the USSR. The video has considerable commentary by Librarian of COngress Billington who sounded quite moved by them.

This is a fascinating post about the Old Believers in Russia and around the world. I first encountered some Old Believers on a flight from Alaska to Siberia back in 1995 (on my way to a library conference, of course) and discovered a little bit about how widespread their communities are. But you have brought in so much more information. Thank you!
