Germans of Russia Encyclopaedia / RE: [SEELANGS] Rossijskie nemtzi

[atacama at global.co.za]

There is a very good encyclopaedia called:

"Nemtzy Rossii" (The Germans of Russia)

edited and published in Russia,
the editor being a former editor of the 
Big Soviet Encyclopaedia, so he should know
what to call his encyclopaedia.

But it includes allsorts,
both ethnic German groups as in colonists and settlers,
(such as the Volga Germans),
and urban (such as the Moscow / St. P. Germans)
and Baltic German nobility,
and russified generals......................

Obviously, conversationally, one refers to 
russkie nemtzi
for a very wide cross-section...
there is also "obrussevshie nemtzy"
russified Germans.....

This topic is endless if one wants to delve into
every little social-ethnic substata, but nonetheless,
a fascinating subject.

"Rossiiskie nemtzy" ? 
hm - haven't heard this one before,
but logically, it should exist.

Under "Rossijskie nemtzi"  we understand the whole ethnic german group :
"krymskie nemtzi","kavkazskie nemtzi","povolzhskie nemtzi","leningradskie
nemtzi".
