Russian Molokan Psalm Leader , Potrero Hill, San Francisco, California, September 14, 1938. Folklorist Sidney Robertson Cowell recorded the distinctive preaching and singing that characterized the service. Molokan singing is derived from patterns of Gregorian chants which were sung in the Russian Orthodox Church during the sixteenth century when the Molokans emerged as an ethnically and religiously distinct group. In the eighteenth century, the Molokans were identified with a larger peasant movement which protested the practices of Russia's tsarist government and the role the Russian Orthodox Church played in that government. The Molokans and other members of the Christian Spiritualist movement questioned whether it was Christian to own property, exploit the labor of others, or treat women as inferior to men.
