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, Doukhbors, Nogai Tartars, 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 606 $aMennonites$zUkraine, Southern$vCorrespondence 606 $aGermans$zUkraine, Southern$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMennonites$zUkraine, Southern$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aSouthern Ukraine$2fast 615 0$aGermans 615 0$aMennonites 615 0$aGermans$xHistory 615 0$aMennonites$xHistory 676 $a940.2 702 $aEpp$b Ingrid I$g(Ingrid Ilse), 702 $aDyck$b Harvey L$g(Harvey Leonard), 702 $aStaples$b John Roy$f1961- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818556303321 996 $aTransformation on the Southern Ukrainian steppe$92627552 997 $aUNINA
