The author studies prefaces to the manuscript collections and explores the methods of work of the Old-Believers` writers.

The author identifies the sources of prefaces of the “Ural-Siberian Paterik”, including collections of the Vyg Old-Believers` writers of the XVIII century. It is established that along with textual borrowings some ideas and concepts were transmitted, the ones that were important elements in the ideology of Old Believers (utopian, eschatological ideas).
