Svobodnik, Svobodniki in plural (otherwise known as Freedomite, or the Sons of Freedom), from the Russian word “svoboda” (freedom), are a radical group who split from Doukhobors during the Yorkton march of protest in 1902 and subsequent events in Saskatchewan. After the resettlement of most Doukhobors to BC in the early twentieth century, Svobodniki were active in BC with protest actions against the government and other Doukhobor groups until the late 1960s. The Canadian government reacted to their protests by building two prisons for Svobodniki and incarcerating them in these prisons, initiating raids on Svobodniki villages and taking away children who did not attend schools from their families and placing them in juvenile detention facilities or reform schools.
