Zusammenfassung:The 17th-century Great Schism in the Russian Orthodox Church has been portrayed in Russian historical fiction in a variety of ways, reflecting the divergence of interpretations in historiography. For example, Sergei Zalygin depicts optimistic and pessimistic tendencies in the Schism as latent forces in Christianity. Arsenii Larionov interprets the Old Believers as nationalists rejecting foreign influence. Elizar Mal'tsev, Fedor Abramov, Sergei Alekseev and Iurii Nagibin give other meanings to the event.
