Yakov Maksimovich Pashkov was a member of the 1912 First All-Russia Congress of Orthodox Old Believers, sitting on the organizational and editorial committees. Encouraged by Nicholas II's movements toward ecclesiastical reform, the Congress sought to confront and resolve restrictions on the Russian Orthodox Church which had been in place since the reign of Paul I.
