Pomorsky Answers

The Pomorsky (Shore dwellers), in this context, were those Russians who went to live in the northern areas around the White Sea, after the heretical reforms of Nikon. This largest group of exiled Old Believers of the time settled along the Vyg River. Danilov, who escaped the Solovetsky slaughter, started this community along with the Denisov brothers. Leska was a women's Old Believer community which was next to them. On the orders of Tsar Peter a monk was sent to the Pomosrky (the Vyg Community) in the year 1722 to ask 106 questions about their position. So the Denisov's (outstanding Old Believer writers and theologians who did most of this work) gave Nikonites a book, The Pomorsky Answers, which quickly became the handbook of the entire Russian Old Faith. In all this time the Nikonites have never given a good response to the Pomorsky Answers. The Nikonite who was in charge of receiving the Pomorsky Answers ended up converting to Old Belief.
Below are a couple photos of the front color pages and under them are links to the various sections. I believe it would be a crime against God to offer them in the modern Russian language or English, so they are in the original pure Old Slavonic.
I have decided to attach the zip files for the various portions of the text in the bottom attachment section of this web page. Inside the zip files you will find the images in tif format. There is an index, plus 15 parts. There are other modern publications pertaining to the Pomorsky Answers. If you have any problem viewing them please let me know. - Forgive, John Alden
