It is a syncretic sect that left Orthodoxy and combines elements of Christianity and Judaism .

Ilyin rejected the gospel (although he recognized the revelation of John ), as well as the trinity , church hierarchy, sacraments , rites, cross, icons and relics , replaced Christian holidays with Jewish ones, and baptism with circumcision . There are groups led by priests in the Ukraine , the Urals , the North Caucasus and Kazakhstan .
