'Boyarynya Morozova', 1887. Artist: Vasily Surikov

'Boyarynya Morozova', 1887. Feodosia Morozova (1632-1675) was one of the leading figures of the Old Believer movement that split from the Russian Orthodox Church after 1666-1667 in protest at religious informs instigated by Patriarch Nikon. She was arrested and imprisoned, along with her sister, Princess Evdokia Urusova, in the cellar of the St Paphnutius Monastery in Borovsk. Feodosia starved to death there in 1675 and was venerated as a martyr by the Old Believers. Found in the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.
