GERMANS in RUSSIA: In 1762-1763, Catherine the Great of Russia issued an invitation to Western Europeans to travel to Russia to settle and farm the land, providing the country with grain. Germans emigrated to Russia to escape the poverty and devastation that followed the Seven Year War (1754—1763). Germans settled along the Volga River in Russia. Empress Catherine promised them free land and freedom from taxes (privileges not given to Russian citizens). They were also promised religious autonomy, the ability to maintain their own culture, and freedom from the military draft. Between 1764 and the early 1800's, thousands of Germans settled in Russia.
In 1872, Czar Alexander II rescinded the previously granted privileges. Germans were drafted into the Russian army and were discouraged from practicing their own culture, language and religion. For this reason, many Germans from Russia began to leave, traveling to the United States (many settling in the great plains and midwest) while others traveled to Argentina, Brazil and Canada.
