Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the number and geography of the settlement of the Old Believers in the Tomsk province in the last quarter of the 19th - early 20th centuries. The authors identified the main reasons for the discrepancy between the statistical data between official secular and diocesan sources and the data of the anti-schismatic Brotherhood, and also identified the main reasons for the increase in the number of the Old Believers. The authors also found that the process of resettlement of the Old Believers was a consequence of the state-confessional policy carried out on the territory of the Tomsk province and the Russian Empire as a whole.
