I did a major undergraduate term paper on the Dukhobortsi, who at that
time (1968) spelled their name Doukhobor. See (e.g.)
   http://www.kootenay.net/~cds/
or
   http://www.kootenay.org/doukhobor/contents.html
   http://www.doukhobor-homepage.com/

I spent 3 weeks in Saskatchewan researching my paper; it could be that
the Doukhobors in BC were slightly different. But in Saskatchewan, the
deal was that you would burn down your own house and not somebody
else's. From time to time faithful Doukhobors would destroy all of
their posessions including the clothes that they were wearing, and
ask the community to take them in.
