The Russian Cult That Declared War On British Columbia

The Doukhobors had it rough in Russia. That’s why they looked to Canada as a great place to settle. Unfortunately, Tsarist Russia and British Canada turned out to be a lot more similar than they originally had hoped. The Freedomites, or Sons of Freedom, would traipse across BC, blowing up bridges and burning down buildings all in the name of returning to their old ways. The solution of the RCMP? Steal their children. #Freedom #russia #Canadianhistory #Britishcolumbia #freedomprotest Twitter: Patreon: Discord: See our Patreon Page!
