In this paper we draw conclusions of the International Scientific Conference devoted to the 400th Anniversary of Archpries Avvakum. The Conference took place on 26–27 October, 2020 at the Institute for Russian History of Russian Academy of Sciences. A lot of attention was paid to the personality and activity of Avvakum, it was pointed out that his works and activity were as a response to the crisis in the medieval religious perception but his ideas were unlike Nikon’s and his followers’ reaction. At the special board devoted to Avvakum’s literary works, it was noted that the language and the style of his texts need deeper research. The Anniversary was the matter and the ground for considering a great deal of issues connected to Old Believers’ history over the period of its existence that is why the majority of papers concerned this issue.

The book was compiled on the materials of the scientific conference “Anthropomorphic and zoomorphic representations of nations and states in the Slavic cultural discourse” (2019), held at the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) and devoted to the history of the nations’ personifications and generalized ethnic images in period of “imagined communities” formation. This process is reconstructing on verbal and visual sources and by methods of various disciplines. The historical evolution of such zoomorphic incarnations of nations as an Eagle (in the Polish patriotic poetry of the first third of the 19th cent), a Falcon (in the South Slavic and Czech cultures in the 19th cent), a Griffin (during the formation of the Cassubian ethnocultural identity) is considered. The animalistic national representations in the Estonian caricature of the interwar twenty years of the 20th cent., so as the functioning of the Bear’s allegory as a symbol of Russia in modern Russian souvenir products are analyzed. The originality of zoomorphic symbolism in Polish and Soviet cultures is shown оn the examples of para- and metaheraldic images in XXth cent. The transformation of the verbal and visual images of “Mother Russia” personifications in Russian Empire was reconstructed. The evolution of various allegories of ethnic “Self” and “Others” is presented by caricatures of 19th – 20th cent. in Slovenian periodic and in Russian “Satyricon” journal (1914–1918).

The object of consideration in the article is a hook notation miscellany from the library of Siberian Old Believers- stranniki (wanderers), a copy of which is kept in the collections of the Institute of History of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (II SB RAS 4/01g). The purpose of the study is to determine the degree of correspondence of this miscellany to the typical Obikhod by methods of paleography and codicology and to identify signs of transformation of its structure. The analysis is carried out at the level of handwriting, internal design and editorship of the hymnographic text, repertoire of chants and principles of their unification into large sections. The study has stated that the collection is a possessory convolute of six independent manuscripts, compiled not earlier than the first half of the XX century. Its structure is based on the book of songs Obikhod of the Pomorian Old Believers editorship, the transformation of which was carried out by expanding the repertoire by introducing chants traditionally belonging to another singing book - Oktoikh. It is concluded that the compiler of the convolute formed it purposefully, striving to create a book of songs of universal content.
