Description

Explore the complex social history of Russian peasant bride theft through this academic study from Routledge. This book examines the practices of abduction and capture from the late tenth century, following the adoption of Christianity in Kievan Rus, through to the early twentieth century. Readers will gain insight into how bride theft functioned within different social groups. The text argues that while practiced by many, these actions were largely carried out by Old Believers - the schismatics who rejected mid-seventeenth century Church reforms and avoided the Orthodox Church. The study provides a detailed look at the motivations behind these acts, noting that the bride was often a willing participant. It investigates how these unions were frequently conducted through secret night marriages. This work is an essential resource for those studying the social history, anthropology, and religious shifts of Russia and Eastern Europe.
