On October 27, 1800 under Tsar Paul and Metropolitan Platon (Peter Levshin; 1737-1812 ) took over the Russian Orthodox Church Old Ritualists on the condition on that this recording of priests ( who have not left the official Church ) of the Russian Orthodox Church in their communities allowed. The Old Ritualists remained for the service, the ancient liturgical rites before Nikon's reform allowed. The anathema of the Council of 1667 ( " Curse of 1667 ") was there but not repealed, what happened only by the State Council of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Monastery of the Holy Trinity and St. Sergius in Sagorsk in 1971. The Moscow Council of 1917/18, finally confessed to the Jedinowerzy to four vicar bishops.
