Mennonites in Russia? Invited by Catherine the Great to farm the Russian steppes in exchange for exemption from military service—Mennonite emigrants from Polish Prussia and the Netherlands made their home in Russia.

Some remain today; many more eventually left for North and South Americas and Europe. Nearly all retain memories and stories from that place—unbelievable prosperity for some; unspeakable terror for many; church tensions; struggles between the landed and the landless’ exquisite clockmaking, storytelling, music-making, and food.

Kroeker tells it all with vibrancy—the overview and the memorable details. Includes dozens of historic and contemporary photographs.
