History
The Duchobory, a peasant sect of Christian communists in Russia,
were persecuted in the 1890s by the government for their conscientious
objection to military service; Canada offered hospitality to them, but the
drawback to their emigration was a lack of funds; Lev N. Tolstoj, who saw
kindred souls in the Duchobory, lent them the prestige of his patronage and
gave them the royalties from his novel `Resurrection'; in 1898 and 1899 some
7,000 Duchobory landed in Canada, accompanied by several close associates of
Tolstoj, one of them being Leopold A. Sulleržickij.
