Preservings Issue No. 47 (Fall 2023)
When the Russlaender met the Kanadier
For almost fifty years, more than an ocean separated the Kanadier Mennonites, who immigrated to Canada from imperial Russia in the 1870s, from the Mennonites who stayed behind. As the groups reunited on the Canadian Prairies during the 1920s, with the immigration of the Russlaender, the results were wide-ranging: friendship and animosity, intolerance and understanding. The articles contained in this issue tell the story of these interactions.
