Summary: | The Jehovists-Il'inites are a little known millenarian movement founded in the mid-nineteenth century by a Russian army officer and religious thinker, Nikolai Il'in. Still active in parts of the former Soviet Union, the Jehovists-Il'inites are an example of how the survival of a marginal religious group depends on its ability to employ elements of discourse that resonate with people in a given geographical, social, and cultural environment. The history, doctrine, and present circumstances of the Jehovists-Il'inites illustrate aspects of the emergence, development, and perseverance of sectarian movements in the modern and late modern period. |
