Religious Refugees Who Opposed Moscow and fled to Siberia. What happened to them?

Agafia Lykova is perhaps the most famous hermit living in the Siberian wilderness. Not everyone knows that she’s a descendant of the Old Believers, Russian Orthodox Christians who fled to this frontier 300 years ago fearing repression and persecution from Moscow’s official Church. Today, Old Believers are still found in secluded Siberian communities, where they maintain peculiar traditions inherited from their ancestors.
