Description: "11/27/1970: Five women, armed with bottles of coal oil and gasoline, went to a Doukhobor house in Krestova and told the owner that they were going to burn the house down. This was to be done as a gesture of support for six women then in jail for burning down the Grand Forks home of the Orthodox Doukhobor leader: ""if one leader's house burned, the other's should burn too."""
