The first draft of this paper has been presented to BASEES conference in 2001. Many thanks to Professor G. Chagin (Perm’) who alerted me to the tables of 1897 Census in RGIA, and to Ju. Kliukina (Yekaterinburg) for her expertise in the statistics of the Ural Old Believers. I also would like to acknowledge the support of the University of Manchester for granting me a Simon Research Fellowship (2000-2001), which enabled me to work on this paper.
