The subject of analysis in this article are lexical units that reflect the spiritual culture of the Ural (Yaitsk) Cossacks, the Old Believers, which help to identify ethnolinguistic and cultural information, as well as the names of the currents and meanings in the Old Believership after the church schism, reflected in the dictionary of the Uralic dialects by N.
