Only in two provinces, Kherson and Kief, can we follow with any degree of accuracy the course of this most marvellous revolt. We have already sketched its growth in Kherson; let us now turn to Kief. The first village affected seems to have been Plosskoye. This was in 1868. Here, as elsewhere, here as in Galilee, it was the homeless and landless who first attached themselves to the new Evangel.

He also had lived some time in Kherson, and his native zeal had been shaped and directed by Bonekemper. The meetings at Plosskoye were at first held secretly for fear of the police and priests, but after a while, seeing that no very strong measures against them were adopted, the brethren grew bolder, and met openly by day in Zyboulski's lodgings.

At last the attention of Arseni, Metropolitan of Kief, was attracted. He put the police on the track of Tyshkevitch and other leaders, numerous arrests were made, meeting-places were closed, and arbitrary
