4 ERRORS:
(1) "They come from that part of Russia near Poland." Maybe confusion with Polish Jews. LA Jumpers and Molokane fled from the Caucasus.
(2) "...offshoots from the Greek Catholic Church". Molokane dissented from the Russian Orthodox Church.
(3) "Today there are 5000 of the people in this city." An accurate census was never tabulated, but is closer to 2000.
(4) "... there is no cross kissing ..." Journalist probably only saw good-bye kisses on the street.
