The old-settlers (Russian: старожилы, romanizedstarozhily) are the Russian settlers of the Russian North (the Pomors), Ural, Siberia (the Siberians), the Russian Far East (the Kamchadals) and the former Russian America (under the name "Russian Creoles") in the 11th – 18th centuries and their descendants.[1][2][3] Among them, interethnic marriages, borrowing words from local languages and adopting the culture of Indigenous peoples were practiced.

A principal part of them were Old Believers at least prior to the rise of the Soviet Union.
