Annotation

The article is devoted to the study of the activities of Old Believer consents in the space of virtual networks. The Old Believer movement is quite conservative, selectively adopting modern technologies and new means of media communication, but is forced to use them to communicate with relatives and friends from other countries, as well as to find a partner for creating marriage and family relations. Today, in the virtual space there is an extensive religious content of the Old Believers: from the official websites of religious organizations to groups and pages on various social networks of community members themselves. A separate aspect of the study will be the analysis of various communication channels between Old Believers in virtual space. The main methodology of this aspect of the study was the content analysis of thematic sites (both official and unofficial), pages and groups in social networks.
