Having been living in the multi-cultural environment of the region for centuries, Russian old-believers have preserved their ancestral traditions not only in their religion, but also in craft and decorative art, including also the making, adornment and use of towels (ruÚiki). The aim of the article is to study the ornamentics of Latgalian Russian old-believersí traditional towels at the beginning of the 20th century. Key words: Latgale, Old-Believers, Ornamentics, Traditional Towel. Introduction Old-believers (in Russian: староверцы, старообрядцы, расколъники, древлеправославные) appeared in the territory of Latvia (at that time Livonia or Livland) in the second part of the 17th century, quickly and successfully taking roots in its society and culture; becoming one of the most integrated religious and ethnical groups in Latvia. Both in Russian and other languages (for example, English and German) the word ìold- believersî is etymologically close to the words ìoldî and ìbeliefî that precisely characterize the nature of this religious movement and its connection to the events in the history of Russian Orthodox Church at the second half of the 17th century when after the initiative of the Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich (1629 ñ 1676, time of reign: 1645 ñ 1676) in March of 1653 the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Nikon (1605 ñ 1681, the Patriarch since 1652) undertook the reform aimed to introduce corrections to the texts of Church books, and to modify some of the public worship rituals following the Byzantine model. Part of the pastoral parish did not support it, in the result of which the Russian Orthodox Church split into two parts: the Orthodoxy accepted by the Patriarch Nikonís followers 5 Barevska ZeltÓte and the old-believers whose adherents denied the reform and preserved the old Church traditions. When the reform was acknowledged and legitimated by the Council of Moscow Russian Orthodox Church (1666 ñ 1667), old-believers were publicly declared secessionists (in the Russian language: расколъники), and there began brutal repressions and persecutions (Podmazovs 2010b). Old-believers searched for rescue in the remote parts of Russia, far and near abroad (in Poland, Germany, Turkey, Sweden, even in the far situated America). Big groups of refugees came also to the Baltic, where citizensí ìtolerance to inoverts was very Western and not comparable with ìtotalitarianî Russiaî (Borgs 2001: 33). Old-believers arrival to the territory of Latgale There are only few historical sources preserved about the arrival of old-believers in the territory of Latvia. One of the researches where this fact has been documented is, a collection of manuscripts, historically known as ìKurzeme ñ Lithuanian Chronographî or the ìDegut Chronicleî (firsts researcher of the document G. Markelovs thinks that the most eligible title in the Russian language is ìДегуцкий летописецî). It was compiled in the 40ís of the 19th century by Vasily Zolotov (1786 ñ after 1856) ñ old-believer who lived in the 40ís ñ 50ís of the century in the village of Degut, Koven province (now the village of DjaguË, Zarasai district, Lithuania). He described the history of old-believers from 1652 to 1850, by summarizing the information contained in ancient manuscripts, published sources and memoirs (Podmazovs 2001; Podmazovs 2010a; Podmazovs 2010b). It is mentioned in the Chronicle that the first organized territory of the old-believersí settlements in Latvian appeared immediately after the ongoing reforms of Patriarch Nikon, already in 1659 in ìKurzeme ñ Zemgale Duchy, on the right side of Daugava river, from Druja till Jekabpils: LiginiÌi village near Daugavpils, Baltruku village near Il˚kste, VoitiÌi (now Daugavpils district, Skrudaliene rural municipality ñ Z. B.) and Volodina villages (now Daugavpils district, Laucesa rural municipality ñ Z. B.) near Daugavpils. In the 17th century from Kurzeme ñ Zemgale Duchy old-believersí communities gradually spread in Latgale and Lithuaniaî (–evkina 2010: 10). Unfortunately, the number of first old-believer settlers is not mentioned in the Chronicle. The attitude toward them was favourable for the old believers as they were allowed to enter and reside the territory of Latvia, to indulge their specific lifestyle and ancient faith. This attitude can be explained by the fact that after devastating wars and the epidemic of plague, population had catastrophically diminished and there lacked simple work force at landlordsí farms (Zeile 2006). With the arrival and settlement of old-believers, churches were quickly built. In the summer of 1660 near Dinaburg (Daugavpils), in LiginiÌi village was built the first old-believersí church in the Baltic. The church remained till 1837 when under the decree of Russian Emperor Nikolai I (1796 ñ 1855; time of reign 1825 ñ 1855) it was closed. Its further future is unknown. Supposedly, it was burnt or robbed and destroyed to get building materials. 6 Ornamentics of Latgalian Old-Believersí Traditional Towels (Beginning of the 20th Century) Nowadays, this historic site is included in the territory of Daugavpils city and documented on the intersection of BaznÓcas and LiginiÌu streets. In 2003, in the place of the ancient site, Memorial Cross (height ñ 2.5 m, made of polished black Karelian granite) was solemnly set up and on July 21st of the same year consecrated (Podmazovs 2009; Podmazovs 2001; www.d-fakti.lv/lv/news/article/20623).
