[Russ. dukhobortsy spirit wrestlers; dukh spirit + bortsy
wrestlers.]
A Russian religious sect founded about the middle of the 18th
century at Kharkov. They believe that Christ was wholly
human, but that his soul reappears from time to time in
mortals. They accept the Ten Commandments and the ``useful''
portions of the Bible, but deny the need of rulers, priests,
or churches, and have no confessions, icons, or marriage
ceremonies. They are communistic, opposed to any violence,
and unwilling to use the labor of animals. Driven out of
Russia proper, many have emigrated to Cyprus and Canada. See
{Raskolnik}, below.
