Doukhobors: a historical-genealogical archive
A new website was launched in Russian by Valerii Kalmykov on October 1st, 2014 — www.doukhobor.ru
There are sections in-progress for News, History, Library, Search, DNA, Forum, Photo, Video, Audio, and a Blog. The "News" link shows "what's new" — a chronology of additions.
Kalmykov will publish "... family lists for 1840-1845-1853-1873-1886-1897-1932-1947 about Doukhobors in Russia and in the Caucasus — more than 5,000 documents that have never been made public."
His mission statement says: "… each person ... will be aware of themselves as part of one small but very important part of the history of his family."
He recently visited Doukhobors in Georgia and shows photos of the farm and in the home of his host Ivan Kazakov.
His library starts with the earliest extensive documentation of Doukhobors by Orest Novitsky in 1832 and will include other books he has scanned.
The video section appears to have 3 test videos. The first 2 are a popular, about Russian drivers:
"What to do when a neighbor down the road is acting aggressively?" The third, "Rolik" ("roller"), is a 2-second segment taken in Georgia. Expect these to be replaced with other videos.
In the past, he contributed several items to Spirit-Wrestlers.com.
- "All Doukhobors are Russian" (translated).
- Comment to Q60: Does God Support the Doukhobors?, (translated) Spirit-Wrestlers Blog
- 1832, 1882 books about Doukhobors online, by Orest Markovich Novitsky (1806-1884).
