German Russian
From the 1760's through the early 1800's Germans from Russia immigrated
from Germany to Russia in great numbers. When the manifestos of Catherine
the Great and Alexander the I of Russia were terminated, the emigrants
lost their protected status and were conscripted into the Russian military.
Between 1872 and 1914, 300,000 Germans from Russia immigrated to the United
States where they settled in enclaves in Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota,
North Dakota, and the Province of Manitoba, CA. Today, over 40% of North
Dakota's population is German from Russia extraction. Germans from Russia
settled predominantly in McIntosh, Emmons, Logan, Stutsman, Kidder, LaMoure,
Dickey, Cavalier, Mercer, Oliver, Stark, Morton, Grant, Hettinger, Sheridan,
Pierce, McHenry, Benson, Wells, and McLean Counties.
