Abstract
The article is devoted to the political views of the Old Believers of various consents during the First Russian Revolution. The source base of the study was made up of materials from Old Believer congresses, councils and meetings of 1905-1907, as well as Old Believer periodicals. The analysis showed that the clergy showed the greatest conservatism among the Old Believers, the scholars (were more liberal than others, the Old Believer peasants turned out to be even more radical, demanding the forced confiscation of part of the landowner lands. Old Believer entrepreneurs mainly focused on the Octobrists. But, despite criticism of the "police-bureaucratic regime," all strata and groups of Old Believers adhered to monarchical views. Even liberal scholars, hoping for the Duma, retained faith in the king. At the same time, all consents and social strata condemned violence and rejected cooperation with both the "red" and "black" parties. In general, the political position of the Old Believers at that time was expressed in the slogan: "Long live the tsar! Long live freedom!"
