From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   d8Raskolnik \[d8]Ras*kol"nik\, n.; pl. {Raskolniki}or
      {Raskolniks}. [Russ. raskol'nik dissenter, fr. raskol
      dissent.]
      The name applied by the Russian government to any subject of
      the Greek faith who dissents from the established church. The
      Raskolniki embrace many sects, whose common characteristic is
      a clinging to antique traditions, habits, and customs. The
      schism originated in 1667 in an ecclesiastical dispute as to
      the correctness of the translation of the religious books.
      The dissenters, who have been continually persecuted, are
      believed to number about 20,000,000, although the Holy Synod
      officially puts the number at about 2,000,000. They are
      officially divided into three groups according to the degree
      of their variance from orthodox beliefs and observances, as
      follows: I. [bd]Most obnoxious.[b8] the
  
      {Judaizers}; the
  
      {Molokane}, who refuse to recognize civil authority or to
            take oaths; the
  
      {Dukhobortsy}, or
  
      {Dukhobors}, who are communistic, marry without ceremony, and
            believe that Christ was human, but that his soul reappears
            at intervals in living men; the
  
      {Khlysty}, who countenance anthropolatory, are ascetics,
            practice continual self-flagellation, and reject marriage;
            the
  
      {Skoptsy}, who practice castration; and a section of the
  
      {Bezpopovtsy}, or priestless sect, which disbelieve in
            prayers for the Czar and in marriage. II.
            [bd]Obnoxious:[b8] the
  
      {Bezpopovtsy}, who pray for the Czar and recognize marriage.
            III. [bd]Least obnoxious:[b8] the
  
      {Popovtsy}, who dissent from the orthodox church in minor
            points only.
