Mennonites in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union is the first
history of Mennonite life from its origins in the Dutch Reformation
of the sixteenth century, through migration to Poland and Prussia,
and on to more than two centuries of settlement in the Russian
Empire and the Soviet Union. Leonard G. Friesen sheds light on
religious, economic, social, and political changes within Mennonite
communities as they confronted the many faces of modernity. He
shows how the Mennonite minority remained engaged with the wider
empire that surrounded them, and how they reconstructed and
reconfigured their identity after the Bolsheviks seized power and
formed a Soviet regime committed to atheism. Integrating Mennonite
history into developments in the Russian Empire and the USSR,
Friesen provides a history of an ethno-religious people that
illuminates the larger canvas of Imperial Russian, Ukrainian, and
Soviet history.
