GuestbookThank you for your interest in the fate of small peoples.Very intresting look in to the many peoples of mother Russia.
Stein T Salamonsen I was pleased to run across your site as I am of Estonian descent. I would like to discover more about my ancestry. I was born a Kruusma which was changed from Krusbagk when my relatives fled during the was any info appreciated. Thank you for the web site.
Mary Stubley I have found your research fascinating! I found myself reading like a sponge, desiring to consume as much information as I an hod. Thank you! My grandfather was from Kishinev, in Bessarabia. I am interested particularly in the lives, history, and culture of Jewish people who lived in Kishinev at the turn of the century. Any information, insight, and/or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Don Rosenthal I just want to say your web page is a great haven of information.. I spent so many hours trying to find an sight on the history of russia in english.. Your page rocks
Brian Giese I enjoyed reading your internet site! I was hoping to find some information on the Laz Peoples! I would appreciate any information on the Laz Peoples and their language! Please send e-mail to OEDEN::juno.com. Thank you very much!
Esra Oden I am interested history and this book was extremely interesting and fascinating. We must prevent these things from ever happening again. One way to do this is to discuss minority and ethnic matters with foreigners that you meet. This book gives you plenty of facts.
Gunnar Selstam I was fascinated to discover your Web site while surfing the Internet. I have always had a keen interest in ethnic studies, with a particular focus on the minority peoples of the former Soviet Union. The obvious reason is that my maternal grandparents were Jewish immigrants to the U.S. from what is now Belarus. Your Web site will probably keep me glued to my computer screen for hours on end.
Mort Reichek I'm looking for any information about my surname - I have reason to believe that my ancestry is Lithuanian Tatar.
Michael Daujotas Thank you for allowing access to this book. Most interesting.
Peep Toom My fiancee is half Chuvash, from the Chuvash republic between Nizhnii Novgorod and Kazan. I was browsing through the book and failed to find them. Perhaps I overlooked them, or, in my ignorance, failed to know another name for them or a tribal group they fall into. Can anyone help. Thank you.
Michael C. Paul The Red Book does not intend to list and describe every nation or tribe living on ex-soviet territory. The foreword lists criteria of selection what is covered in this book - basically it is about endangered nations who are nearly extinct or losing their language and identity. The Chuvash population is about 1.5 million, they have preserved their language and live mostly in autonomous republic. webmaster I was very relieved to have found your book on the web. I was just doing my research on the USSR when I found your web page. Interesting! So far, I have not encountered such a book that dwelled into as much detials. In fact it is very useful to my thesis and I thank all you writers for that!
lisa As a krymchak from my mother side I spent over forty five years of my life looking for my roots. Thanks to Red Book I'm happy now and feeling sad at the same time for extinct culture, for perished people.
ADOLF KUPISK I always enjoy good solid research and exposure on unpopular myths. One small addition I advise you to make: you forgot the ethnic Germans from the Volga, Ukraine, Bessarabia, Volhynia, Crimea...all of the persecuted under Stalin, and only recently (1962) rehabilitatd. Vera Beljakova-Miller (keep up the good work)
Vera Beljakova-Miller i myself am a desendant of the chukchi nation. my father was born there then moved to nome in 1923. it was so exciting to find something on my ancestors.
robina bear Many thanks for this very interesting and helpful site! Please provide a summary so that any web search engine could display What to expect from the Red Book. Regards Michael
Michael Smirnov My wife is geographer from Lomonosov University and has travelled most of former USSR. We both actively search for historic documents and Red Book is an amazing and welcome effort at broadening understanding of complex nation and regions. Congratulations. - Ray LeRoux, Vero Beach, Florida, USA
Ray LeRoux I am interested in learning about the colonial expansion of Russia into the Soviet Union and how it has affected people who now find themselves to be minorities in the former Soviet Union. In addition I would like to know how it has affected immigration and emigration to and from the former Soviet Union. 31-05-97
Kristina Jeanne Straw haloo I'm in the middle of learning about Russia and the Former SU at school and this is lots of help! It's been a blast!
Jenn Fehr Having read the Red Book in Estonian, I was pleasently surprised to find its English version in the Internet. Even though some of the material is already a bit out of date, it is still an excellent source of information for anyone interested in the national minorities of Russia. I already added a link to the article on Karelians on my Karelian page. If possible, I would like to see the material kept up to date and some links to other Internet sources added.
Esa Anttikoski Superb! It took a long time, but better late than never.
Sven-Erik Soosaar Just an example of an entry with all fields filled in. All comments are welcome!
