Abstract

The article shows that for almost a hundred years, the ethnocultural landscapes of the “Yenisei Meridian” rested upon a close collaboration between the sacred and secular spaces of a settlement and its structure. The “Yenisei landscape” was a unified religious and economic space that existed in what now are territories of Tuva and Krasnoyarsk Krai. The field materials that formed the basis of the article were collected during the 2004-2011 expeditions to the areas populated by the Chasovennye accord of Old Believers. These, together with archival materials on the history of Old Believer migrations, helped us reconstruct the major events in the unique life journey of Klavdiya Ivanovna Yurkova (nee Salnikova) who was sent to live at the Dubsches monastery and stayed there for twelve years, until the monastery was disbanded in 1951.

Applying content analysis to interview texts accumulated over years helped reveal emotionally coloured phrases, typical for a biographical narrative and reproduce the crucial elements in the informant’s value system. We conclude that the lifepath of the Chasovennye seen in the context of migration processes, appears as a projection of their spiritual life as a path to salvation.
