In the persecuted Russian Doukhobor sect, who also rejected militarism and church ritual in favour of finding God in their hearts, he saw a prime example of how it was possible to live his new-found pacifist ideals in everyday life. He was so taken with their lifestyle, calling the Doukhobors "people of the 25th century," that, in 1898, he decided to help finance their mass emigration to Canada, away from the persecutions of the Russian church and state. Donskov's expanded study presents an outline of Doukhobor history and beliefs, their harmony with Tolstoy's lifelong aim of "unity of people", and the portrayal of Doukhobors in Tolstoy's writings. This edition features Tolstoy's complete correspondence with Doukhobor leader PeÌtr Vasil'evich Verigin. Three guest essays by prominent Canadian Doukhobors are also included. Supported by a considerable array of source materials, Donskov's monograph will be of relevance to anyone interested in religious, philosophical, sociological, pacifist, historical, or literary studies."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 651 7 $a Western Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01692641 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Personal correspondence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919948 600 10 $a Tolstoy, Leo, $c graf, $d 1828-1910 $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Tolstoy, Leo, $c graf, $d 1828-1910 $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a Dukhobors $z Canada, Western $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Dukhobors $z Canada $x History. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z Canada $x History $y 19th century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Donskov, Andrew, 1939- $t Leo Tolstoy and the Canadian Doukhobors. $b Expanded and revised edition. $d Ottawa, Ontario : University of Ottawa Press, 2019 $z 9780776628516 $z 9780776628516 $w (OCoLC)1111809916 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702013815.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DB6EC68BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
