"J. Otto Pohl has encyclopedic knowledge of the history of Germans in Russia and that knowledge is on display in The Years of Great Silence. This was an important time of profound disruption in the lives of Russia's German population. In addition to providing detailed information about this tragic period, Dr. Pohl gives a master class on the evaluation and use of historical resources. His use of sources is critical toward producing this meaningful and insightful work. This is essential reading for scholars interested in the German experience in Russia."--Michael Brown, Emeritus Professor of Communication and Journalism, University of Wyoming, J.

Synopsis
This monograph provides a detailed yet concise narrative of the history of the ethnic Germans in the Russian Empire and USSR. It starts with the settlement in the Russian Empire by German colonists in the Volga, Black Sea, and other regions in 1764, tracing their development and Tsarist state policies towards them up until 1917. After the Bolshevik Revolution, Soviet policy towards its ethnic Germans varied. It shifted from a generally favorable policy in the 1920s to a much more oppressive one in the 1930s, i.e. already before the Soviet-German war. J. Otto Pohl traces the development of Soviet repression of ethnic Germans. In particular, he focuses on the years 1941 to 1955 during which this oppression reached its peak. These years became known as "the Years of Great Silence" (" die Jahre des grossen Schweigens "). In fact, until the era of glasnost (transparency) and perestroika (rebuilding) in the late 1980s, the events that defined these years for the Soviet Germans could not be legally researched, written about, or even publicly spoken about, within the USSR., This book provides a detailed yet concise narrative of the history of ethnic Germans in the Russian Empire and USSR. J. Otto Pohl begins with the settlement in the Russian Empire by German colonists in 1764, tracing Tsarist state policies toward them up until 1917. He chronicles Soviet repression of ethnic Germans.

- e***_ (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.

They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
