Summary: Most of her family had already escaped persecution in Russia for a life of freedom in Canada when Anna Markova, the granddaughter, daughter and mother of three generations of Russian Doukhobor leaders, disappeared into the Soviet Gulag of the 1940s. Innocent of any crime, Anna spent 15 years in the Gulag where millions of politcal prisoners died. When Anna was finally released, she joined her family in Canada. Here she became active organising women in the community and she became a role model for generations to come.
