Anna Makova Speaker A special feature of the 19th session of the Doukhobor Research Symposium, held Nov. 7 in the Taghum Hall, was the presentation of a bio- graphical history of a former Doukhobor spiritual leader by his daughter, Mrs. Anna Markova of Brilliant. In response toa request by the symposium committee, Mrs. Markova prepared a bio- graphy of her father, Peter Verigin-Chistakoff, covering a little-known period of his life in Russia. To date, very little authen- tic information was available to Canadian Doukhobors on this subject, causing a considerable degree of controversy in many instances, The committee hopes to publish a transcript of Mrs. Markova's presentation in the periodical “Iskra”, and possibly other publications as well. Other speakers throughout the symposium included Nicolas Arishenkoff of Grand Forks, who provided insight into the financial matters of the former: Doukhobor communal enterprise, the CCUB. Mr. Arishenkoff was questioned about a statement in the press of a former re- search meeting wherein the in- correct sum of $2 million was mentioned as the amount of debt paid off by the CCUB. He explained that the sum quoted represented the sum of financial turnover of the com- munity during that period. The next session-of the symposium is scheduled for Dec. 5, at the Appledale Hall in the Slocan Valley.
