Mari Orthodoxy
A XIX Century religious movement among the Mari,
one of the native groups of
the Volga-Kama region.
It is unclear to me (from Werth, below)
whether it represented an attempt to create an indigenous
Orthodox local church or was a syncretistic
sect, possibly the same as the present "Marla Faith".
More information would be appreciated.
