Afanassi Shchapov is the author of many works on the history of sectarianism and Raskol (Old Believers), which he viewed as a manifestation of the popular protest against social oppression. Influenced by Grigori Jelissejew and Stepan Yeshevsky , he supported the so-called " Zemstvo - Oblast theory" (земско-областническая теория) in the years 1856 to 1864 , which viewed Russian history as a process of interaction between certain "oblasts". Shchapov's focus on geography and economics as the two main agents in history is seen as the harbinger of the next generation of Russian historians, represented by Vasily Klyuchevsky , Pavel Gavrilowitsch Vinogradov and Michael Rostovtzeff . Since the geographical conditions of the various Russian countries differ greatly from one another, Shchapov scorned the possibility of writing a general history of Russia. He took the view that the Siberians were different ethnically from the rest of the Russian nation, since her character in which it was coined live from the rough nature of the inhospitable land, and from the adventurous and daring spirit of the Old Believers , the original settlers in Siberia have been were.
