Doukhobors Found Well Adjusted in Canada After Emigration
A Canadian interior department report praises the Doukhobor community for becoming prosperous and law-abiding in Assiniboia and Saskatchewan. It notes their religious beliefs, communal living, land holdings of 600 to 700 square miles, and improvements like grain elevators, mills, and a planned railroad. It recounts origin in Russia, exile, Tolstoy influence, Verigin leadership, and past tensions over oaths and land. The piece highlights the government’s permissive stance on land tenure and ongoing stability of this religious group.
