Non-Georgian Orthodox churches generally use the language of their communicants.
There remained a small number of mostly ethnic Russian adherents from three dissident Orthodox schools--the Molokani, Staroveriy (Old Believers), and Dukhoboriy (Spirit Wrestlers).
Under Soviet rule, the number of active churches and priests declined sharply, and religious education was nearly nonexistent.

  Bogomils   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Wallace, who is, at least in sympathy, a Presbyterian of the Kirk of Scotland, says that he was attracted to the Molokani (Hepworth Dixon says the name means "milk-drinkers") because he had discovered that their doctrines had at least a superficial resemblance to Scotch Presbyterianism.
In accordance with this model, they have no hierarchy and no paid clergy, but choose from among themselves a presbyter (or elder) and two assistants—men well known among the brethren for their exemplary life and their knowledge of the Scriptures—whose duty it is to watch over the religious and moral welfare of the flock.
There comes to us also, since the conclusion of the war between Russia and Turkey, cheering evidence that four hundred years of Moslem sway and the profession of the Moslem faith have not utterly driven out from the hearts of these descendants of Bogomil nobles the recollection of the faith of their fathers.

In 1223 the Albigenses are declared to be the local Bougres, and at the same period mention is made of the Pope of the Albigenses who resided within the confines of Bulgaria.
The Cathars and Patarenes, the Waldenses, the Anabaptists, and in Russia the Strigolniki, Molokani and Dukhobortsi, have all at different times been either identified with the Bogomils or closely connected with them.
Doctrine.From the imperfect and conflicting data which are alone available one positive result can be gathered, viz, that the Bogomils were both Adoptionists and Mariichaeans.

The origin of the Molokani is obscure, nor are they offi cially mentioned until 1765.
They claim that the Bible is their sole foundation, and though they ex plain it allegorically, they do not reject the his torical elements in the Gospel.

Molokani Beach was the last place a lifeguard wanted to be assigned to.
The water was clear and blue, and the shore was relatively free of the sharp lava-rocks common on Hawaiian shores.
Native Hawaiians avoided Molokani because the waves were small and the water was always so packed with haoles, white people.

CIDA staff in Moscow heard about these people, known as molokani because they drink milk during Lent, and visited the village.
There was a discussion about improving the villagers' means of support, and an idea was hit upon: help the molokani acquire a grain separator, grain cleaner, and mill.
The way is now clear for the molokani, who, having provided for their own needs with this technology, can lease the machines to help surrounding communities and make money.

This horrible sect, which was founded by one Selivanov in the last quarter of the 18th century, seems to-have a morbid attraction for people of all classes in Russia, and all the efforts of the government have not succeeded in stamping it out (see SKOPTSI).
From the Molokani the Dukhobortsi, in England better known as Doukhobors (q.v.), are distinguished by their subordination of the Scriptures to the authority of the " inner light." They are dualists, like the Bogomils (q.v.), ascribing the body to a fall from a state when the soul was on the same plane as God.
Both the Molokani and the Dukhobortsi deny the authority of the civil government as such, and object on principle to military service.

The sun had not yet risen, but by now all the barrows could be seen and, like a cloud in the distance, Saur’s Grave with its peaked top.
If one clambered up on that tomb one could see the plain from it, level and boundless as the sky, one could see villages, manor-houses, the settlements of the Germans and of the Molokani, and a long-sighted Kalmuck could even see the town and the railway-station.
Only from there could one see that there was something else in the world besides the silent steppe and the ancient barrows, that there was another life that had nothing to do with buried treasure and the thoughts of sheep.

Large inroads have been made in their numbers by the Baptists and Stundists.
The Molokani are also held by some in vestigators to include the Subotnild (" Sabbatari ans "), who, though having no affinities with Juda ism, observe Saturday as the Sabbath, practise circumcision, and observe the dietary laws.
There are many minor mystic and rationalistic Russian sects, such as the " Sighers," " Spiritual Brethren," " Nameless," etc. The most important development of Russian sectarianism, however, is that of the Stundists, who arose about 1864, pri marily in southern Russia.

At the turn of the century a new ethnic contingent settled on Potrero Hill when some two thousand Russian immigrants, mainly from the Volga and Caucasus regions, arrived after fleeing Czarist oppression.
Known as the Molokani ("the milk drinkers"), they were a puritanical sect who worshiped at a modest little church where the women and men were segregated during services.
At the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House, designed by Julia Morgan, the Russians took classes in the English language and learned how to use sewing machines.

There were more than a hundred other apostate sects that refused to bow to the tsar or follow the rites of the orthodox church.

 Communalism (4) (Rexroth)
Russian Anabaptism appears in history about the same time that it does in the West — during the sixteenth century — but, as in the West, there are indications that it led a clandestine occult existence dating back to the first centuries of Christianity in Russia.
The two leading Baptist sects, the Doukhobors and Molokani, have continuously budded off communalist groups which were usually ruthlessly suppressed, however harmless and insignificant.
This process has continued in the immigrant communities in Canada, South America, and the United States, but none of the schismatic movements has endured very long.

They disappeared only by the late Middle Ages due to persecutions and the rise of Turkish power which imposed Islam on their lands.

However painful it may be for an Orthodox person to recall that episode, such is the reality of life past and present-a socio-political reality which impels us to seek peaceful forms of co-existence, while fully allowing for an intensive polemic.
