Old Believers

[edit]

According to Leo Trotsky’s book the Cossacks the Grebensk Cossacks are old believers. “tribe belonging to a sect of Old Believers, and called the Grebénsk Cossacks” pg 17. Later he said their origin is persecution of old believers and that they glad to the Caucasus and intermixed with the Chechens but kept the Russian and additionally Novak languages. However he also mentions Grebensk Cossacks being in the Caucasus prior to Ivan the terrible, who makes a deal to not conquer them. Is this true? Are there any historical records on these events and older origins to the Grebensk Cossacks. I know the Cossack Wikipedia mentions that there may have been Slavic troops in Khazars named Cossacks47.229.144.239 (talk) 06:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
