Elisei Morozov Explained

Elisei Savvich Morozov (Russian: Елисе́й Са́ввич Моро́зов; 1798–1868) was the eldest son of Savva Vasilyevich Morozov of the Morozov dynasty. In 1837 he married Evdokiia Nikiforovna.^[1]

His father developed some wasteland on the right bank of the Klyazma River at a location which became Nikolskoye. In 1837, Elisei established a dye works next door but lost interest in the enterprise after becoming an Old Believer.^[2] As he became more interested in religion, he spent his time writing religious tracts while his wife, Evdokiia, ran the business.^{[3] [4]}
