It argues that bride theft in eighteenth and nineteenth century Russia was practised in large part by, but not exclusively by, Old Believers, the schismatics who rejected the Church reforms of the mid-seventeenth century and shunned contact with the Orthodox Church; and that the point of bride theft, where the bride was often a willing party, often married secretly at night by an Orthodox priest acting illegally, was to absolve the bride and her parents of the responsibility for engaging in a formal Orthodox ritual which Old Believers regarded as sinful. The book also considers how bride theft originated much earlier in Russia and was a continuing tradition in some places, and how all this fitted into the Russian peasant economy. Throughout the book provides rich details of particular bride theft cases, of Russian peasant life, and of Russian folklore, in particular bridal laments"-- |cProvided by publisher. 588 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 05, 2021). 650 0 Marriage customs and rites |zRussia (Federation) |xHistory. 650 0 Marriage |zRussia (Federation) |xReligious aspects |xChristianity. 650 0 Women peasants |zRussia (Federation) |xSocial conditions. 650 0 Peasants |zRussia (Federation) |xSocial conditions. 650 0 Old Believers |zRussia |xHistory. 650 7 Marriage customs and rites. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01010592 650 7 Marriage |xReligious aspects |xChristianity. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01010496 650 7 Old Believers. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01045177 650 7 Peasants |xSocial conditions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01734428 650 7 Women peasants |xSocial conditions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01178278 651 7 Russia. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01207312 651 7 Russia (Federation) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01262050 653 Bride theft 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:Bushnell, John, 1945- |tRussian peasant bride theft |dAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021. |z9780367676254 |w(DLC) 2020044662 830 0 Routledge studies in the history of Russia and Eastern Europe ; |v35.
