Reviews

Donskov's book is the first thorough and profound research work on this important subject. It covers the whole history of the Tolstoy-Doukhobor relationship, including the pre-emigration period [...] This is an ambitious, inclusive work, and is a wonderful reference and resource on this specific subject.
