Those Old Believers sounds like a very fundamentalist Doukhobor sect in Alberta and BC. The Doukhobors were from the Ukraine and Russia originally. In the 60's and 70's one Doukhobor faction decided that the end times were upon us and decided to destroy everything they owned. Unfortunately some also decided to extend that to friends and neighbours as well. Made for interesting times in that part of BC.
