The name of Sergei Vasilyevich Maksimov, a writer, ethnographer, and researcher of folk life, is well known to connoisseurs and lovers of Russian history and culture. The book "Wandering Rus' for Christ's Sake" (1877) was written by Maksimov based on his impressions from a trip to the North-West Territory, where he was sent in 1868 by the Imperial Russian Geographical Society: the writer traveled around the Smolensk, Mogilev, Vitebsk, Vilnius, Grodno, and Minsk provinces. In the book, Maksimov addressed such a phenomenon of folk life as wandering - with its various socio-cultural and everyday features. Pilgrims, Christ-lovers, secretive people, proshaks, wandering beggars, beggarly brethren, etc. - among them were true professionals in their field, experts in customs, beliefs, omens, performers of spiritual poems and epics. Pilgrimship appears not only as a way of life, but also as a spiritual quest of an Orthodox person, for whom value and meaning are embedded in the very idea of the path.
