Ishaneki [1]
(elect band), a Russian sect which arose in 1666, under the fear that the printed Church books were tainted with error, since they differed from the old MS. copies which had been so long in use. They stoutly adhere to the letter of Scripture, deny different orders among the clergy, and any gradation of rank among the people, but under Alexander I obtained toleration, though they had previously been exposed to constant persecution. See Eckardt, Modern Russia, S. V.
