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.
