You dumb ignorant :-)!  Replace v by w and look to a Polish dictionary 
(v suggests that Martillo transliterated from Russian, but the Polish
word is the same).  Simple!  pravoslavie = Eastern Orthodox.
What it really means, beats me.  Possibly, eating such foods like
gefilte fish, borshcht, potatos etc.  Especially sinful is gefilte fish,
made of carp, a fish with so few scales, that a pius Sephardim would
treat it at par with a scaleless eal (fish without scales is regarded
as shell fish, ergo non kosher).

My personal request to Martillo: could you send me by mail a list of
sins of my Ashkenazim kins?
