Résumé anglais Maurice Comtet, V. G. Korolenko and the Russian sects (1853-1921). This study bears on the relations of the Russian writer, V. G. Korolenko (1853-1921) with Russian schismatics. Korolenko's interest in this matter corresponds to the important place reserved to the Sectarians by the ideology and the tactics of revolutionary populism. Korolenko met the Old Believers principally in Nižnij -Novgorod, in the Oural and in Rumania, where he had no opportunity to contact the " rationalists. " In the light of " critical " or " legal " populism, Korolenko submitted to criticism the idealized image prevalent at the time of Russian Sectarians, all the more so as he considered that the religious forms upheld by them were ill-fitted to the restless spirit of his time. However, this subject appealed to the writer because of his interest in what was strange and belonged to the past and inspired some lovely passages in his work where his originality is displayed at its best.
