About the collections, created by the Vyg leaders

The article is devoted to analysis of collection created at the end of XVIII century (№ 74 (99) Druzhinin collection, Library of Russian Academy of Sciences), which consists of texts, connected with the names of founders and leaders of Vyg community. We came to the conclusion, that the authors have disposed all the materials in such order, that every text confirmed the illegality of innovations in a special way. All the texts in total became the basis of the system of argumentation, which allowed to defend the viewpoint of the Old Believers.
