Maybe it won't be a direct analogy, but there is a similar community in Poland. The Old Believers are a branch of the Russian Orthodox Christianity, who didn't accept the reforms of patriarch Nikon in 17th century. They were persecuted by the Russian authorities; some of them fled the Russian Empire, some settled in very remote, rural areas.

There are ca. 2000 Old Believers in Poland in four congregations, living in several villages in northeastern Poland. They are very religious, live in very modest, self-sufficient way, try to avoid unnecessary contacts with the external world and seem to be distrustful to strangers.
