* The ''edinolichniki'' (единоличники: individual farmers, called "Independent Doukhobors"), who in 1907 comprised 10% of the Canadian Doukhobors, maintained their religion but abandoned communal ownership of land and rejected hereditary leadership and communal living as non-essential to it.
* The ''obshchinnye'' (общинные: communal, or "Community Doukhobors") were largest group, sometimes called "orthodox Doukhobors" (not to be confused with the Russian Orthodox Church), led by their spiritual leader [[Peter V. Verigin]]. They formed the [[Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood]] (CCUB), which reformed in 1939 as the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ (USCC), headquartered in Grand Forks, British Columbia, publishing a monthly journal ''[http://www.iskra.ca Iskra]'' since 1943.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://uscc-iskra.com/ |title=Iskra: The Voice of the Doukhobors |access-date=May 19, 2024}}</ref>
* The ''svobodniki'' (free, sovereign people) in 1902 tried to return to Russia, refused to obey laws, and attacked law-abiding Doukhobors. They became the famous dissident "Sons of Freedom", also called "[[Freedomites]]" by the media. They misinterpreted P. V. Verigin's writings in such a zealous manner that he banned them. The media and government mistakenly confused them with all Canadian Doukhobors when reporting their sensational protests.<ref name=”OaklandTribune1934”"VictoriaDaily1930">{{cite news
