However, the period of the liquidation of community life also deserves careful study, when, according to the figurative expression of N.V. Shelgunov, the split “served as an anvil on which measures of intolerance and persecution were honed and tested.” Traditionally, this period is asso-ciated with the era of the reign of Nicholas I, but the persecution of the Old Believers continued under Alexander II. A striking example of such a policy is the litigation discussed in this article be-tween the Vygov Old Believers, headed by the last major of this community, Stepan Ivanov, and the Olonets diocesan authorities, led by Bishop Arkady, regarding the return of the icons seized from Ivanov's house.
