Many Russian saints including Seraphim of Sarov and John Kronstadt warned that if Enlightenment influence continues to take advantage of this, then there will be a godless revolution. In his novel Demons, Feodor Dostoevsky also foresaw atheist revolution. Alexander Solzhenitsyn once said that if it were not for the church schism of the 17th century, the revolution of 1917 would not have happened. Some modern historians believe that the writer was correct in the literal sense and that the Russian Old Believers played a significant role in the political cataclysms of the early 20th century.<ref>https://tsarnicholas.org/2019/03/04/how-old-believers-suffered-from-the-overthrow-of-nicholas-ii/</ref>
