Russian Old Believers are one of the most striking phenomena of Russian traditional culture, and in this respect have been the subject of numerous studies. However, few of them have been focused on emigrant Old Believers — a unique example of how traditional Russian culture adapts to completely alien conditions of a new cultural space. Today, the Old Believers of Alaska are an example of adapting traditional spiritual principles to living in the world of globalization, westernization, scientific and technological progress and post-industrialism. Old Believers' experience of non-aggressive resistance to the world order which erases ethnic, cultural and religious distinctions is extremely important for understanding the trajectory of Russian culture today. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive study of the worldview and lifestyle of Old Believers in Alaska. In October 2015, an expedition examined the close intertwining of residual traditionalism, liberalizing social sphere and radical modernist mentality in Old Believer communities. This led us to suggest that traditional Orthodoxy may prove helpless before the onslaught of the reality of secular America. The article compares the experience of Old Believers’ in Nikolaevsk with that of the Bespopovtsy of Southern Alaska who have had more success in preserving their identity, but also succumbing to the secularizing influence of the culture of everyday life in the USA. Our study revealed not only the cultural and spiritual decline of Alaskan Old Believers, but also the power of American consumerism which dissolves the specific character of immigrant diasporas, at the same time preserving and increasing the multiplicity of original subcultures in the USA.
