N1  - Translation of: Die Russlanddeutschen unter Doppeladler und Sowjetstern published in 1991; Includes bibliographical references; "Mehr wolla bleiwa, was mr sain" -- History in numbers -- The Russian Germans. The siren call of the Czarina ; First called, then banned -- The Volga region -- Ukraine -- Germans in the Caucasus -- Bessarabia -- Volhynia -- Siberia, steppe regions and Middle Asia
N2  - Called by the Czars, banned by the Soviets: The Russian-Germans. Their great contributions advanced the cause of the Russian Empire for two hundred years. Twenty years later they became driftwood of history. For some two million Russian-Germans the question of autonomy or immigration commenced with the onset of glasnost and perestroika. The author paints a picture of the rise and fall of a German minority under the Double Eagle and the Soviet Star: with an effectively unknown face, a history is recalled before all traces of the German generations on the Volga, in Ukraine, in the Caucasus, Bessarabia and Volhynia are completely obliterated.--(Page [4] of cover)
