Nowy Israil
Nowy Israil or New Israel ( Russian Новый Израиль , wiss. Transliteration Novyj Izrail ' ) or Lubkowzy ( Лубковцы , Lubkovcy ) is a Russian sect that emerged from the Stary Israil sect (Old Israel) at the beginning of the 20th century . Their second name comes from their leader, the farmer Vasily Semenowitsch Lubkow ( Василий Семенович Лубков ) from Voronezh .
Lubkow introduced a new liturgical concept, a kind of "biblical theater" - a dramatized presentation of the events of the Holy Scriptures.
Their leaders were monarchists, yet they suffered reprisals from the tsarist government and the church. From 1911 to 1914, 2,000 members emigrated to Uruguay under Lubkow , at the beginning of the 1920s some of them returned to Russia and settled in the North Caucasus .
