“…In present-day Latvia and the Baltic states, studies on the Old Belief are mostly dedicated to the language, folklore, culture and history of the movement, emphasizing the local peculiarities of a certain community without considering the global problem of church-state relations, although these relations are mentioned as a context for other case studies (e.g., Baranovskij and Potashenko 2005;Potashenko 2006;Ocherki po istorii 2007Ocherki po istorii -2008Starovery Litvy 2011;Pazuhina 2009Pazuhina , 2011Pärt 2010;Paert and Schvak 2014;Paert 2016;Kovzele 2018, 2019;Korolova et al 2020;Stasulane 2021).…”

The paper analyses state religious policy in different historical periods and its impact on the development of religious doctrines about marriage within the Old Believer community of Latvia. Based on published and unpublished historical sources, legislative acts, periodicals, and data from existing Old Believer parishes, it is clear that state policy concerning religious minorities greatly influenced the development of the Old Believer community. Old Believer marriages were not recognized by the Russian Orthodox Church until 1874 when the first possibility of obtaining legal marital status was introduced as registering families in police register books. The Old Believers of Latvia, who originally belonged to the Fedoseevcy denomination and denied any family life as such, registered their families quite rarely. However, during the first decades of the 20th century, the Fedoseevcy of Latvia adopted the teaching and marriage ceremonies of the Pomorians. By the interwar period, Old Believer marriages were legalized by both the community and the state. Soviet secularization further facilitated the development of secular marriage unions with followers of other confessions. In the present day, Old Believer religious marriages are legalized in Latvia, though the number of them has decreased as Old Believers are most likely to choose civil marriage registrations.

“…103 Samas, nagu Irina Paert on sedastanud, "tunnistavad elulookirjutamise kampaaniate korraldajad ja uurijad harva, et venekeelse elanikkonna lugude puudumine võib olla eestivenelaste elude ja domineeriva mälukultuuri ebakõlade tulemus". 104 Lõpuks tuleb venekeelse kogukonna kaasamise puhul arvestada usalduse filtriga. Elulugude kogumise töö eestivenelaste hulgas on seni ühel või teisel moel toimunud kriisisituatsioonides, kahe keelepõhise kogukonna vaheliste pingeliste suhete aegadel.…”
