the <a href="/wiki/East_Slavs" title="East Slavs">East Slavic</a> lands. Their traditions, especially <a href="/wiki/Dairy_product" title="Dairy product">dairy</a> consumption during Christian fasts, did not conform to those of the <a href="/wiki/Russian_Orthodox_Church" title="Russian Orthodox Church">Russian Orthodox Church</a>, and they were regarded as heretics (<span title="Russian-language text"><i lang="ru-Latn">sektanty</i></span>).

Members tend to identify themselves as <b>Spiritual Christians</b> (<span title="Russian-language text"><span lang="ru">духовные христиане</span></span>, <span title="Russian-language text"><i lang="ru-Latn">dukhovnye khristiane</i></span>). </p><p>The specific beliefs and practices varied sharply between the various sects of Molokans. Some built chapels for worship, kept sacraments, and revered saints and icons, while others (like <a href="/w/index.php?title=Ikonobortsy&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Ikonobortsy (page does not exist)">Ikonobortsy</a>, "icon-wrestlers") discarded these practices in the pursuit of <a href="/wiki/Sola_scriptura" title="Sola scriptura">individual approaches to scripture</a>. In general, they rejected the institutionalized formalism of Orthodoxy and denominations with similar doctrines in favor of more emphasis on <a href="/wiki/Origins_of_Christianity" class="mw-redirect" title="Origins of Christianity">"Original Christianity"</a> as they understood it. They emphasized <a href="/wiki/Spirituality" title="Spirituality">spirituality</a> and spiritual practice; such sacramental practices as water baptism have been permitted only as tangible signs and symbols of more important spiritual truths. </p><p>Similar to <a href="/wiki/Presbyterian" class="mw-redirect" title="Presbyterian">Presbyterians</a> among Protestants, and considered heretical by the Orthodox Church, they elect a <a href="/wiki/Presbyterian_polity" title="Presbyterian polity">council</a> of dominant <a href="/wiki/Elder_(Christianity)" title="Elder (Christianity)">elders</a> who preserve a sort of <a href="/wiki/Apostolic_succession" title="Apostolic succession">apostolic succession</a> in their view. Molokans had some practices similar to the European <a href="/wiki/Quakers" title="Quakers">Quakers</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mennonites" title="Mennonites">Mennonites</a>, such as <a href="/wiki/Pacifism" title="Pacifism">pacifism</a>, communal organization, spiritual meetings, and sub-groupings, but they arose in Russia together with the <a href="/wiki/Doukhobors" title="Doukhobors">Doukhobors</a> and Sabbatarians (also known as <a href="/wiki/Subbotniks" title="Subbotniks">Subbotniks</a>) and similar Spiritual Christian movements of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Duhovnye_Kristyanye&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Duhovnye Kristyanye (page does not exist)">Duhovnye Kristyanye</a> and Ikonobortsy. They migrated into central Russia and Ukraine around the same time. As such, the Molokans have been compared to certain kinds of Protestants (such as Anabaptists and Baptists) because they have multiple similar aspects since they reject the Orthodox priesthood and icons, have their own presbyters, hold the Bible as their main guide and interpret the sacraments "spiritually". They are thus in many ways similar to <a href="/wiki/Anabaptism" title="Anabaptism">Anabaptist</a> and <a href="/wiki/Quaker" class="mw-redirect" title="Quaker">Quaker</a> Christians.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:1_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:2_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-6"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:3_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Formation_and_development">Formation and development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Molokans&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Formation and development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-More_citations_needed_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Refimprove" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>needs additional citations for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verification</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Molokans" title="Special:EditPage/Molokans">improve this article</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a>&#32;in this section.

The Keraite people were one of the five dominant Turco-Mongol tribes of the Tatar confederation prior to Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan united the Tatar tribes into the Mongol Empire. The Keraite resided upon the Orkhon Steppes, south of Lake Baikal and north of the Gobi Desert, also referred to as the Altai-Sayan region.

When Molokans arrived in the United States, some family names were horribly misspelled by immigration officials who could not read Cyrillic—for example, "Сусоев" became "Sessoyeff," which is unpronounceable in English. Also, like members of other pacifist communities, some Molokans changed the spelling of their names to avoid deportation. Many chose to use American versions of their names. So "Vasilli Bukroff" becomes "Bill" or "William Bukroff" or "Ivan Metchikoff" will become "John Mitchell" and "Dunya Tikunov" will be "Julie Tyler". They also sometimes use "first names" that are not their legal names and are based on nicknames from childhood within the church that stuck with people as adults. For example, "Hazel Valov" became known as "Percy Valov", for being very "persistent". Another naming custom that can confuse those who are unfamiliar with the community was practiced by Molokans who settled in the Guadalupe Valley, Mexico. Many settlers adopted the Mexican versions of their names, so Rodion Pavlov became "Rodolfo Pabloff," and they named their children following the Mexican format. Accordingly, one will see what would have been a Russian name like "Ivan Pavilovich Pabloff" (Ivan son of Pavil (Paul) (Pavlov)), whose mother's maiden name is "Samarin," become "Juan Pablo Pabloff de Samarin" or "Juan Samarin Pabloff". In all these instances, tracing family history can be very difficult. Otherwise, they adhere to the common naming practices. A lot can be learned from a Russian headstone which will commonly go back to the use of the Russian naming protocol regardless of what name the individual used while alive. If translated correctly, one should learn the names of an individual's father and grandfather from a male's headstone. If it is displayed in English at the bottom it most likely will not contain the information.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
