About Avvakum Petrov Books

Avvakum Petrovich (1620/1-1682) was born near Nizhny Novgorod to a priest and a nun. He became a leader in the Old Believers movement. He wrote the earliest version of his autobiography between 1669 and 1672 while imprisoned in Pustozersk, and was burned as a heretic in 1682. Kenneth N. Brostrom (1939-2020) was associate professor of Russian at Wayne State University.
