From Privileged to Dispossessed is a social and economic history of the foreign settlers who emigrated to the Volga region in Russia in the eighteenth century. Concentrating on the years 1860 to 1917, a period of rapid change in Russia, it is at once a detailed look at life in the lower Volga valley and a vital chapter in theøhistory of the multinational Russian Empire, assessing as it does the impact of national policy in the outlying provinces. James W. Long's book shatters the prevailing view of the Volga Germans in Russia, showing them not untouched by time but remarkably adaptable to ever-changing circumstances. It reveals how numerous nineteenth-century government reforms and rapid economic development, and the subsequent restruc-turing of state and society, transformed their lives for good and ill. It also illustrates the striking continuity of a misguided nationality policy that alienated a loyal, productive minority group by means of rigorous Russification and expropriation of landholdings. From Privileged to Dispossessed makes extensive use of rare materials from major Soviet research libraries and of oral interviews with Volga German immigrants. The book will be of special interest not only to historians but to people of Volga German descent, whose ancestors had learned to survive in a foreign land a century before they came to the North American prairies in the 1870s.

America...the golden land of freedom, hope and opportunity held its immigration doors wide open. A multitude of German-Russians were enticed by what the country had to offer. Their ancestors had been lured to the Volga River Region of Russia by Catherine the Great's manifesto of 1763. By the late 1800s, many of those promises and privileges no longer held true. Trouble was looming on the horizon for them. Begin the journey in 1911 and visit the German-Russian villages of Volmer, Pfeifer and Schuck, Russia. Meet four German-Russian families, the Ertles, Gartners, Lambrechts and Hochnadels, who packed up their worldly belongings in trunks and said their final goodbyes to family members staying behind. Sail with them as lowly steerage passengers on steamships. Accompany the exhausted, confused travelers through the immigration ports of Ellis Island, Boston and Philadelphia. Ultimately, the four families planted deep roots in northeastern Colorado where the land and climate reminded them of Russia.

The Final Chapter of the German-Russian Volga Colonies is filled with words like Starvation, Torture, Mass Murders, Deportation, Siberia, and GENOCIDE. Why? One would think that after all the trouble that Tsarina Catherine the Great went to get the Germans to come to Russia, and after living in the Volga Colonies for 100 years, they would be welcome forever. Not so: the Russians felt the German-Russians were still "Germans" at heart and not to be trusted. This book covers the increasing stranglehold that the Tsarist Government clamped on the Volga Colonies around 1860. This was the start of 81 years of Russian scheming to rid Russia of the German-Russians. Also covered is their deportation and life in Siberia, and Moscow's elimination of all traces of the German-Russians Volga Colonies. "GENOCIDE" This is my third book in a series on the German-Russian Volga Colonies. See all my books at my websites, www.Volga-Germans.com & www.DarrelKaiserBooks.com
