“…33 This increase was despite the spiritual crisis that befell the Karaite communities in WWI (Grishchenko and Shapira 2021, pp. 110-13;Shapira 2005;Volkov 2020) and in comparison to 1909 when the Privol'noe community only numbered 160 adults (as reflected in their above-mentioned request to establish their community). Even if we disregard the losses of life, especially during the war or due to plagues and diseases, multiply the number from 1909 and consider the addition of natural increase, which was mentioned before, there is no way to arrive at the number of 530 adults without considering the return or addition of the Petrovka communities' members back to the Privol'noe community.…”

Toward the middle of the nineteenth century, a large Subbotnik community established itself in the village of Privol’noe in the Lankaran district of Baku province in Southern Caucasus. By early 1909, however, the names of two small Subbotnik communities—both in the settlement of Petrovka, near Privol’noe—began to appear in the documents of the Baku province administration. While the Privol’noe community has been thoroughly studied, those of Petrovka remain largely unexplored. At their peak, Petrovka’s two Subbotnik communities were divided, belonging to different Jewish streams, and segregated from each other. Based mainly on documents from the National Historical Archives of the Republic of Azerbaijan (NAHARA), this study uncovers these communities and compares their religious life with each other. It does so in the context of the Russo-Ottoman and Irano-Russian geopolitical rivalries in Southern Caucasus. The study explains how and which aspects of this struggle led Russia to originally establish communities like Petrovka at the start of the examined period. It further explores why Russia later lost interest in supporting the Petrovka communities by the end of said period.
