In addition, they are always kept closed community and always help each other. Church services are conducted they are not as accustomed to the Orthodox Church. Knowledge, like old times, passed from mouth to mouth, and the head of the community elected the most wise, pious and respectable men.

In Borisov dissenters fled from Tsarist persecution when Borisov was still in the territory of the Commonwealth. Here, the community settled and obzhilas. Even the repression of the Communists, who dreamed of an atheistic society, did not make the Old Believers leave his hometown. In times of adversity, when houses of worship were closed, services were held in homes of parishioners.
