Click for MOREThe Spirit Wrestlers
This is the Shockwave sister site to this current HTML version. The site requires Macromedia's Shockwave plug-in and while most browsers now come equipped with the Shockwave Player, some older ones do not and you will need the Player installed before entering. The site is rather 'weighty' with its media-rich format and a fast cable or hi-speed modem access is encouraged. A sample module from the upcoming CD-ROM is now on-line within this site. With the magic of new media and its compression techniques, one can now read a Russian word, and in the Vocabulary module, this hard-to-pronounce entry can be checked to hear its correct annunciation!

The site includes an online translator (English, German, French, Spanish), and 7 sections — history, photo gallery, guestbook, hymns [psalmi], Iskra, links, and comments.

Doukhobor descendant Brenda Cheveldayoff has been preserving the site of her late father, a history buff, Sam James Popoff. Her great-grandfather, an 11-year-old orphan, was part of the 300 person settlement of Doukhobors in what today is the Blaine Lake district of Saskatchewan. The Dugout House or 'zemlanka' was the subject of an archaelogy study by the University of Saskatchewan, Dept. of Archaelogy, under the guidance of graduate student Meagan Brooks, along with Doukhobor community volunteers. Out of this came Meagan's MA thesis. The site became a Provincial Heritage Property in the spring of 2005. The DDH incorporated to offer educational tours, a gift shop, and period demonstrations on Saturdays in the Summer. See website for link to free tickets.

Given no boundaries, how could the Doukhobors express themselves culturally, spiritually, artistically, traditionally, in structure or form of organization, political / peace activities, outreach, etc.?
