Gorelovka (research material for documentary project)

The village of Gorelovka is located in Southern Georgia. It was founded in mid 19th century by Dukhobors, a group of Russian religious dissidents banished by Nicholas I.
They managed to keep their identity and traditions throughout the Soviet period. However, under political and economical pressure, many Dukhobors have now left Georgia and the heritage will disappear with the last inhabitants.

А почему мужики водку хлещут - когда моя мама росла ( в Родеоновке) за выпивание выгоняли из общины. Мне очень важно и интересно духоборское наследиею Я живу сейчас в Сиэтле - пишите близкие ро духу: valyavv@gmail.com. I grew up myself in Georgia and currently am living in Seattle. I am interested in everything about Dykhobors - someone could contact me if you have similar view.

I am of Doukhobor descent and have learned Russian. Living in Vancouver. Next time I am in Russia I plan to go to some of these new settlements they have in the Russian Federation.

There may be many left but the statistics show a dwindling number. Many of the younger generation do not speak Russian.

I hope they do go on.

No Sar, they will not all be gone. There are still many of us in Canada and we will go on.

Too bad they will all be gone soon.
