The article examines the history of a short‑lived cooperation between the Soviet power and the communities of the Russian Spiritual Christians (dukhovnye khristiane), such as Dukhobors, Molokans, and New Israelites. After the revolution and during the 1920s, the communities of these Christian sects created a type of economic associations that formally could correspond to the Bolsheviks’ economic policies. The Bolsheviks considered these communities as their allies, believing that they could become agents of socialist economic forms in the agriculture.
