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. 410 0$aTsarist and Soviet Mennonite Studies 606 $aGermans$zUkraine, Southern$vCorrespondence 615 0$aGermans 676 $a305.8310477 702 $aDyck$b Harvey L.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aEpp$b Ingrid I.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStaples$b John R.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 02$aUniversity of Toronto.$bLibrary,$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585999903321 996 $aTransformation on the Southern Ukrainian steppe$92627552 997 $aUNINA
