Discuss the complex migration journey of Russian Old Believers from their homeland in western Russia in the 1600s to their present-day settlement in Oregon and Alaska
What will be an ideal response?
Student should know that the Russian Old Believers left their homeland in the 1600s in search of religious freedom. First they travelled to Siberia, and then about 300 years later they left Russia altogether for China because of the Soviet's persecution of religious groups. When China became communist in the late 1940s, the Old Believers left and travelled to Brazil where they had been promised free land. However, because of the hot climate and political instability they left South America for Oregon. One small group left Oregon for Alaska after their children came into contact with gangs and drugs in a Woodburn park.
