• Biography/history note:The Doukhobors are a priestless religious sect which emerged in Russia in the eighteenth century. Their faith is based on the belief that everyone carries within them the Holy Spirit. The destruction of life is, therefore, a grievous sin. In the early nineteenth century the Doukhobors had established themselves as a separate body of settlers in Southern Russia. Living in relative isolation, Doukhoborism became more than a branch of the Christian faith, it also permeated their culture and economic life. They practiced pacificism and vegetarianism and rejected co-operation with political authority when it conflicted with their beliefs. Because of their way of life, the Doukhobors suffered extensive persecution in czarist Russia. In 1898, with the assistance of Count Lev Tolstoy and the English Society of Friends (Quakers), many Doukhobors were able to emigrate to Canada.
