A Social Study of the Russian German (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from A Social Study of the Russian German After the freeing of the serfs in Russia in 1861, the various reforms which followed affected the status of the German colonists. They had gone to Russia under promise that they should have local self-government, retain their own schools and churches, and be free from military service. Now their local self-government was gradually being interfered with, universal military service forced them into the army, and' the fear arose that they would in time be denied their German schools and freedom of worship. Emigration began in the seventies, some going to South America, others to Canada, and large numbers coming to the United States. The latter s...

The Russians in Germany
In 1945, when the Red Army marched in, eastern Germany was not "occupied" but "liberated." This, until the recent collapse of the Soviet Bloc, is what passed for history in the German Democratic Republic.

His book offers a comprehensive look at Soviet policies in the occupied zone and their practical consequences for Germans and Russians alike--and, ultimately, for postwar Europe. In rich and lucid detail, Naimark captures the mood and the daily reality of the occupation, the chaos and contradictions of a period marked by...
Emigration to and from the German-Russian Volga Colonies
This book covers the emigration of the "Catherine the Great" Germans into the Volga River area in the mid to late 1700's, the movement of the Volga German-Russians further east of the Volga River into Russia's Steppes, the western exodus of the Volga German-Russians to the United States, Canada, Germany, Brazil and Argentina in the late 1800's and early 1900's, the Stalin ordered deportation of all Volga German-Russians to Siberia in the 1940's, and their final emigrations back to Germany and their long gone Volga River Colonies. This is my fourth book on the history of the Volga Colonies. See all my books at my website: www.DarrelKaiserBooks.com
The Volga Germans
Catherine the Great recruited thousands of colonists "to populate her lower Volga River frontier with dependable permanent settlers who not only would bring stability to this lawless, underdeveloped, and uncharted region, but also would reclaim the vast wasteland there"-an area larger than the state of Maryland. This recruitment program ended in 1766, after drawing a majority of the colonists (about 30,000) from west central Germany, particularly the Hessian states. Since 1874 many inhabitants of this overpopulated land island between Saratov and Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) have emigrated to the Western world-to homesteads from the plains of western Canada to the pampas of Argentina, but...
