Note: Before the Slavonic liturgical text and ritual reforms [aimed at bringing Russian Empire's Orthodox worship, its Typikon,   into concord with the then known, 'correct',  mother Greek Churches usages, [mainly of the 1500's]   of Russian Patriarch Nikon, which quickly provoked the bloody and terribly disastrous virtual civil war, the 'Old Believer Schism',-splitting the Russian nation and people severely,  and which was made worse by the added violent enforcement in all of Russia, of the westernizations instigated and ordered a bit later,  by Czar Peter I, this basic worship, its rituals and church chanting,  was what was normal Orthodox worship in most of the Russian Empire, in both monasteries and in parish churches. To today's Old Believers, when any of them may visit our ['Nikonian'} churches,  they see our current Orthodox worship...even as performed by we traditionalist Orthodox,  as...'impious' and 'unspiritual', compared with what they practice in their churches- their 'Old Way'.
