Résumé anglais Bernard Marchadier, About the book of Vladimir Riabushinskii: "The Old Faith and the Russian religious feeling." The author begins by situating the Riabushinskii family in the social background to which it belonged: that of Muscovite merchants of the nineteenth century, in which attachment to traditional values and to the priority of the spiritual domain was not deemed inconsistent with the good management of worldly interests nor even with the desire of economic expansion. The author then proceeds to outline in succession the principal themes examined by the book. When Vladimir Riabushinskii considers them from the historical or philosophical point of view (for instance discussions of the rites) the author abides by this attitude. However, as for the most part, the book studies Russian history and religious sensibility, it is under this particular Russian angle that these problems are being set forth. The well-known questions, such as the quarrel between Joseph of Volokolamsk and Nil of Sora, the Slavophile philosophy, Tolstoi's populism and the works of writers such as Leont'ev, Solov'ev and Rozanov, acquire a new meaning when dealt with by the Old-Believer Riabushinskii. Stress is laid on the contribution of Old-Believers to the Russian literature and thought. Some opinions of Vladimir Riabushinskii are being discussed. Thus, it is not proved that "flight into the forest" always enabled to keep the faith pure from heresy; in many cases the forest has been a medium for the development of all the trends of dvoeverie (dual faith).
