Russian Old Bakery in Old Believers Village. Altai. Russia

According to the stories of old-timers, in 1863 the family of Old Believers Kalistrat Zheleznov with five sons moved to the Uimon Valley, Altay. The family were skilled, hardworking people, but Filaret stood out most of all. He was engaged in carpentry, making houses with his own hands. Until now, there are houses built by Filaret and a prayer house on the banks of the Katun in the village.
At an advanced age, seeing how fellow villagers began to betray their faith - smoking tobacco, swearing, drinking out of time - Filaret decided to leave the valley and atone for the sins of apostates. He built himself a cell on the mountain and began to live there in complete solitude, spending time in prayer. Since then, the mountain has been called Filaretka, and the Old Believers make a pilgrimage to the elder's dwelling. People in Multa have long lived prosperously, worked hard, kept cattle, sowed bread, went hunting.

Today, about a thousand inhabitants live in the village, many of them adhere to the Old Believer faith and do not recognize priests.
