Sacralization by the Old Believers of Spatial Loci of Altai

This article examines the role and significance of the pre-Christian components of the Old Believer culture in the process of colonization of Altai and the formation of a specific cultural landscape. By renewing the archaic layers of cultural memory, the Old Believers formed the spiritual basis of the colonization process. The basis of this structure was a tradition that accumulates rational experience in the form of a set of stable values, ideas and institutions that can be considered as an important adaptive resource that helps to solve the problems of economic and cultural development of uninhabited territories. This circumstance explains the special saturation of pre-Christian symbols and rituals of the Old Believers' culture in general and the culture of the Old Believers of Altai in particular. The sacralization of its individual components was an inevitable consequence of exceptional life circumstances in which the Old Believers were persecuted and forced to migrate to the outskirts of Russia.
