Alik says that he is an old believer. His whole life is connected with his personal ability to read and understand numbers. He lives according to his own calendar (he has 40 days in a month). By date of birth, he can tell everything about a person, even name some patrons that each person should have. Thanks to the ability to calculate, I learned that his first daughter was not his own.
Now the ex-wife was so surprised that she immediately confessed, yes, they say, she cheated on him and the child was not from him, but Alik was not upset, because he knows that the first man still leaves an imprint on all future children … So he considers his daughter his, however, he refused to rewrite the land he owns on her. Here he is right, probably - we all know the story of King Lear.
He also came up with a granulating machine, (so, incidentally). You pour grass into the container of the machine, and dry granules pop out from that side.
Alik lives alone in a large 3-storey building (he built it himself) and eats grass that looks at him in the garden … sometimes he granulates it for tea, loves coffee with chocolate and, in general, everything natural. He does not cultivate a garden, he does not dig a garden - what has grown has fed.

With him live 4 dogs and a cat that sleeps on the piano all the time. There is a large family of hedgehogs in the garden. I doubt that such well-groomed and calm animals agree to eat grass with their owner.
And in the courtyard among the tall thickets, Alik is also building a recording studio, and he is sure that he will effectively rent it out with an hourly rate.
He has a basement, seriously fortified, where you can hide from any cataclysms. From what, I wonder? Moreover, he knows how to control the elements).
And also this wonderful conviction in the influence of the first man on all offspring.)) I don't even want to discuss this - people who are too lazy to read scientific articles on the topic can believe in it.
His faith forbids cutting his beard.
Here is a story about a man whose life and way of navigating in this unfriendly world simply surprised me.
I do not presume to assert, but it seems that he is fed by people who want him to tell them about something secret and incomprehensible, but very pleasant - for example, about some mystical patrons, I know one of his options: these are three triads - patroness. What it is, only he knows, probably)).
Today people are far from faith, but most consider themselves Christians. So, they know that going to a fortune teller is not good, it's like contacting the dark, but they want to tell fortunes. And then bang - and an old believer! All people know about the old faith is that it is strict. So order. And he does not seem to guess. The majority have never heard of numerology and they have no idea if it can be combined with the old faith. It seems to them that they have touched wisdom.
The house is absolutely original and suits the owner. Everything is unusual, non-standard, everything is not the same as everywhere else. And everything seems warm.
I see in his worldview a wonderful mixture of paganism, numerology, Druidic religion and Christianity. All this mixed and created an unusual cocktail of rituals and meanings. But, it's hard for me to correlate Alik's lifestyle with the Old Believers. Or have Old Believers also changed? New believers have become, and only the calendar remained from the former, and the habit of being baptized with two fingers?
