Klaus Hoffmann continues the theme in his commentary on “Songs of the Germans From Russia.”

Timothy J. Kloberdanz describes the Volga German adaptation to the Russian steppes, the North American prairies, and the Argentine pampas in his “Plainsmen of Three Continents.”

A new series begins with this issue as Jacob Hieb tells of “My Return to Russia.”
