Beschreibung
There are two articles in issue 6, IV-2023 of "Journal of Ethnic Microhistory".
The investigative essay "Warning Against Emigration to the Caucasus" by Walther Friesen is based on the article published on 10 May 1860 in Dortmunder Kreisblatt (The Newspaper of Dortmund Dictrict). It outlines the situation of Swabian pietists from Württemberg who came to the South Caucasus at the invitation of Emperor of Russia Alexander I. The author portrays the history of German expatriates on that territory from 1818 to 1941.
The critical review "About Those who Went Through All the Hardships with their People (Notes about Soviet German literature)" by Hugo Wormsbecher is devoted to the development of Russia-German literature before 1989. The contribution is written in German and preceded by an English abstract.
