This book documents the Tsarist Mennonite experience through the papers of Johann Cornies (1789-1848), an ambitious and energetic leader of the Mennonite settlement of Molochna. Cornies’ papers offer a widow onto both the Mennonite world, and onto the Tsarist state’s relationship with minorities of the frontier.
