The Svobodniki (Sons of Freedom) marching nude in Langham, Saskatchewan in protest of attempted land seizure and compulsory public schooling in the Dukhobor commune by the Canadian government, 1903.

I just spent an hour reading about the Dukhobory, out of all of Russia’s religious minorities, these might be the most interesting, not just for their beliefs but their history as well. I’ve visited an Old Believer village in Alaska and I know others exist in Oregon and Latin America but I’ve yet to see anything like this, it’s quite fascinating.
