Russian Old Believers in New Zealand

Vostok/Oriens '2013, №2

 
In the mid of 1960-s a small refugee group of Russian Old Believers arrived to New Zealand from North China. They were settled in Southland. The author explores their transition from a traditional communal culture of Old Believers to the individualism of Western society. The research bases on the New Zealand information resources. The author is very grateful to the Centre for Applied Cross-Cultural Researches (Victoria University, Wellington) for the all-side assistance during her research stay in New Zealand.
