Thank you! Big part of my family moved from Dittel/Volga to Greeley, Windsor CO & Marion County in Kansas. We survived in Russia somehow and emigrate to Germany in 90th . Very interesting to see how Unser Leut (our people) start their life in USA !
Very interesting history of the German Russians of Greeley Colorado. I am a decendant of the Schaefer Brunner German Russians and found this to be fascinating. Thank you for posting this on RUclips.
@marcaurel2333 thank you for your response...... My mother's family(Brunner) were from the Volga River area of Grimm, Russia. They immigrated in the early 1900s. I do believe my great Grandfather's name was Jacob Brunner.
My grandparents also came to Saskatchewan in 1912 for 5 years as indentured servants. They were Germans from Lviv area of Ukraine under the Russian Tsar.
The history of the Russian Germans is unusual, unique and very instructive. I described the beginning and the end in the book "To Russia to New Lands". I'm currently putting out the audio book on my channel. Please take a look, maybe you will find it interesting.
My grandfathers family came to the U.S. from the Volga region as well. I was a bit surprised that in this video the reason given for them leaving Russia was that there were too many Germans in the river region and they came to look for more land. I had never heard that before. It has always been related to changes in Russian policies that could have also been related to Hitler attacking Russia. Anyone know if that is a legitimate reason?
Yeah, this is something similar to what happened to Japanese after Japan attacked Pearl Harbour, so American Japanese suffered the consequences even though they weren’t involved.
Hitler didn't go after Russia until 1940. Your relatives probably left 40 years before that. Russian politics were biggest reasons for their immigration.
Вполне возможно. Сначала немецкие колонисты приходили туда Где земля была бесплатной но они очень сильно размножались, И одновременно культивировали землю. Естественно через 100 лет земель становилось мало и дороже , поэтому они шли дальше На вновь завоеванные россией у турков земли : кавказ сибирь казахстан Крым. Но я думаю что это 1 из многих причин или может быть официальная причина... Вы же знаете Не всегда можно озвучить настоящую причину, приходится искать предлог😂 колонисты Не хотели воевать, поэтому им предоставлялась возможность идти на новые земли и тогда Не надо было отдавать детей на войну. также была политическая нестабильность, несколько лет голода , и военные банды. Кроме того немцев начали принудительно выселять из стратегических городов ещё до 1-й мировой войны Но если вашего соседа начнут выселять по национальному признаку то вы можете понять что вы можете стать следующим😂 поэтому многие выезжали в америку
I am a Russian German, the blood of Prussians, Huguenots, Zaks and many others flows in me. in my family tree there are such surnames Kelm, Klunk, Feldbusch, Klein, for 250 years we preserved our culture, That which no longer existed in Greater Germany... Unfortunately, in our homeland, the USSR, they did not appreciate our hard work and we, like birds, flew around the world and settled in Europe, in both Americas, in South Africa and Australia.... Unfortunately, our culture, language, music and cuisine is being lost.. More 20 years, and there will be no witnesses left... so if you have loved ones who are still alive, before it’s too late, make video reports and post them on the Internet for public use. My mind says that we died as a people, but my heart hopes that somewhere this culture will survive
