Mennonite colonization was one aspect of the empires consolidation and modernization of its multi-ethnic territory. In the colony of Molochnaia, the dominant personality of the early nineteenth century was Johann Cornies (17891848), a hard-driving modernizer and intimate of senior Russian officials whose papers provide unique access into events in Ukraine in this era.</p><p><em>Johann Cornies, the Mennonites, and Russian Colonialism in Southern Ukraine</em> uses the life story of Johann Cornies to explore how colonial subjects interacted with Russian imperial policy. The book reveals how tsarist imperial policy shifted toward Russification in the 1830s and 1840s and became increasingly intolerant of ethnocultural and ethnoreligious minorities. It shows that Russia employed the Mennonite settlement as a colonial laboratory of modernity, and that the Mennonites were among Russias most economically productive subjects. This microhistory illuminates the role of Johann Cornies as a mediator between the empire and the Mennonite colonists, and it ultimately aims to bring light to the history of nineteenth-century Russia and Ukraine.</p>...4481769Johann Cornies, the Mennonites, and Russian Colonialism in Southern Ukraine11081538https://www.gandhi.com.mx/johann-cornies--the-mennonites--and-russian-colonialism-in-southern-ukraine-9781487549176/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4152605/image.jpg?v=638443353270500000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781487549176_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_<p>In the late eighteenth century, the Russian Empire opened the grasslands of southern Ukraine to agricultural settlement by new colonists, among them Prussian Mennonites.
