Leo Tolstoy and the Doukhobors:
Conscientious Objection
commemorating the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy's death centenary
Notwithstanding all these efforts, however, the struggle of the Doukhobors has opened the eyes of millions.
I know hundreds of military men, old and young, who owing to the persecution of the gentle, industrious Doukhobors, have begun to have doubts as to the legality of the activities. […] And the Government that is tyrannising over millions of people knows this and feels that it has been struck to the very heart.
