 CONTEXT - This Week in Arts and Ideas from The Moscow Times
This week, "Boyarynya Morozova" went on display in a contemporary art gallery in Moscow.
Behind them hang three paintings: "Three Bogatyrs," "Boyarynya Morozova" and Ilya Repin's "The Zaporozhian Cossacks Write a Letter to the Turkish Sultan." Figures in each work have been "downsized," even as the office floor below teems with employees, who are playing chess, telling jokes, drinking tea -- in short, doing anything but working.
The joke is that the heroes of the paintings have received the pink slip, but the lazy employees remain on the state payroll.

The work depicts Morozova chained to a peasant sleigh and driven through Moscow, as the public watches with a multitude of reactions.
Again, this painting was undoubtedly influenced by the situation of extreme censorship, government suppression of any form of democratic protests, Holy Synod's repression of the so-called heretics, and the pogroms during the 1880's.
Considering this context, Morozova's figure is perhaps reminiscent of the dedication of populist women during the same decade.

 155th anniversary of Russian Painter Surikov today / All culture news of St. Petersburg / Petersburg CITY / Guide to ...
According to academician Dmitry Sarabyanov, the major connoisseur of the art of the 19th-20th centuries, "Boyarynya Morozova" is Surikov's "most significant painting in its profundity and variety of vital contents." These paintings form a historical-psychological trilogy with the interaction of masses and personalities, but show different relations between heroes and people, heroes and history.
The painter's main characters are people, true to their ideas and ready to suffer in the struggle for them, but not knowing the truth.
For instance, the painter wanted to make Boyarynya Morozova's sledge go, and managed to achieve the effect of movement.

They were Christians, like anybody in Russia, but they were devoted to old church books and ceremonies, they put their cross across them with two fingers instead of three and were generally more severe and sober people.
There is a famous painting by Surikov, "Boyarynya Morozova", showing that elderly countess on her way to exile.
She is painted in a sledge, all in furs, her face distorted with hate and her two joined fingers above her head.

The first study for *Boyarynya Morozova* appeared in 1881; Surikov began work on the picture itself three years later, having meanwhile painted *Menshikov in Beryozovo* and made a trip abroad.
Once again, the tragic fate of a strong, passionate figure is, for the artist, indivisible from the fate of the people, who opposed the church reforms introduced by Patriarch Nicon, seeing in them an encroachment on the customary run of their lives, on their rites and—in the final analysis—on their spiritual freedom.
The work is national not only in subject (based on events of the seventeenth century) but in its national types, its architecture, its winter landscape, and its treatment of colour, whose rich, limpid strength is akin to the Russian people's sunny perception of the world.

Detail of the painting Boyarynya Morozova by Vasily Surikov depicting a defiant Old Believer arrested by Czarist authorities in 1671.
Old Believers use 2 fingers while making the sign of the cross (2 fingers straightened, 3 folded) while new style Orthodoxy uses 3 fingers for the sign of cross (3 fingers straightened, 2 fingers folded).
That is not the major difference between the two branches of Orthodoxy, but one of the most noticeable (see the picture of Boyarynya Morozova above).
