Millennialism! and Radical Sects in Southern Russia and Ukraine! 1830-1917! studies the origins and evolution of the theology and practices of these radicals and their contribution to an alternative culture in the region.Arising from a confluence of immigrant Anabaptists from central Europe and native Russian religious dissident movements! the new sects shared characteristics with both their antecedents in Europe and their contemporaries in the Shaker and Quaker movements on the American frontier.
