Body

Article based on the archive and field materials uncovers peculiarities of the folk terminology connected to the name of wanderers’ consent in the Russian tradition of Perm Prikamye. Historical insight precedes study of terminology and uncovers some features of expansion of wanderers’ consent in the region as well as its character and particular characteristics of the resettlement in different regions of Permskii Krai. The research determines that numerous and various terminology was common for Perm Prikamye to specify wanderers’ consent among their confessional neighbors. Diverse living conditions and neighborhood influenced the emergence of different nominations. One of the most common terms in the south-west regions as well as in Udmurt Republic is “golbeshniki”. Term “krasnoveryis” is common for the territory of Perm Prikamye (Srednee Prikamye). Use of these terms became widespread in the territories with unique population structure. Old Believers of wanderers’ consent were settled pointwise. For the territory of Kolva where followers of the consent constituted a majority and the region was quite isolated, no special terminology was formed. More than 10 other nominations recorded in dialect speech and written resources do not have any habitat. Terms used by neighbors to define Old Believers are etymologically connected with complex of mythological and folk beliefs about the consent.
