Abstract
The researcher focuses on the communication processes between the mentor of an Old Believers community and the Old Believers during the general and personal confessions in the prayer house. The work is based on oral narratives recorded in the expeditions to the Old Believers of Latgale in 2016–2017. Among them there are stories about the order and time of general confession (penance), about the origin of a number of prohibitions and the peculiarities of observing the Old Believers’ prescriptions in a multinational and different confessional environment, about the connection with both the pagan ideas of the Slavs about the world around them, and with the realities of the present time.
