Among the immigrants who arrived were communities of Prussian Mennonites, recruited as "model colonists" to bring progressive agricultural methods to the east. Transformation on the Southern Ukrainian Steppe documents the Tsarist Mennonite experience through the papers of Johann Cornies (1789–1848), an ambitious and energetic leader of the Mennonite colony of Molochna. Cornies was well connected in the imperial government, and his papers offer a window not just into the world of the Molochna Mennonites, but also into the Tsarist state’s relationship with the national minorities of the frontier: Mennonites, Doukhobors, Nogai Tatars, and Jews. This selection of his letters and reports, translated into English, is an invaluable resource for scholars of all aspects of life in Tsarist Ukraine and for those interested in Mennonite history.Tsarist and Soviet Mennonite StudiesGermansUkraine, SouthernCorrespondenceJohann Cornies.Mennonite history.Prussian Mennonites.Tsarist Mennonites.Ukraine.Ukrainian steppe.agricultural settlement.grasslands of southern Ukraine.history of Ukraine.letters.Germans305.8310477Dyck Harvey L.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtEpp Ingrid I.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtStaples John R.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtUniversity of Toronto.Library,fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996580167403316Transformation on the Southern Ukrainian steppe2627552UNISA
