The eight-year siege and the destruction of the Solovetsky Monastery (1668–1676) was reflected in the cycle of old believer writings and folk texts. Mythologically Island was thought to be an other-worldly. It was conceived in the medieval Russian culture in the context of the Transfiguration and inherited in the old believer tradition. The concept of Solovki as a boundary, outstanding place, where the chronotope of arche was implemented, is delivered in “The history of Solovetsky fathers and sufferers” of Simeon Denisov. In a polemical “The decorated description of the siege and the devastation of the Solovetsky Monastery” Solovki is a territory of the tense dialogue, the border with updated binary identification. In the folk historical songs the Solovetsky chronotope is marked by signs of otherness where the world order is disrupted.

Solovetsky Monastery, Solovetsky uprising, old believer tradition, idea of otherness, chronotope.
