Thanks, Dennis! So if you get to that page, scroll down to the bottom, ALBUMS. Then click on next until you come to "Antares at Bibayoff". Photos all have captions.

Molokans ("Milk Drinkers")


Molokans (Russian for "milk-drinkers") are sectarian Christians who evolved from "Spiritual Christian" Russian peasants that refused to obey the Russian Orthodox Church, beginning in the 1600s. They were so named for their drinking milk on most of the approximately 200 fasting days, especially the Great Fast (Lent)— an activity which was prohibited by ecclesiastical authorities. In contrast, they called themselves "true Spiritual Christians", rather than "milk-drinkers", because they could no longer accept the Russian Orthodox Church, nor that of the Protestant sects or the Catholic Church. They may have been influenced by an earlier religious sect of Armenian "Paulicians", who became known as the "Bogomils" of Thrace, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Serbia.

In a sense Molokans are Protestants for rejecting Orthodoxy, and like Presbyterians in that they have a council of dominant elders. Though Molokans are somewhat similar to the European Quakers and Mennonites — for their pacifism, communal organization, spiritual meetings, and sub-groupings — they are ethnically much closer to Doukhobors and Sabbatarians (Subbotniki) because they evolved from the same Russian Spiritual Christian movement of Khristovers and Ikonobors (icon-wrestlers), and migrated together with some intermarriage


I know that many of them emigrated to Canada during the late 19th century. Tolstoy donated all of his royalties from the novel "Resurrection" at this time. He was at odds with the czarist regime towards his latter years.

I'll bet that explains why they buried a pick in his forehead.
