Moscow's Final Solution

Kaiser, Darrel Philip
Moscow's Final Solution
The Final Chapter of the German-Russian Volga Colonies is filled with words like Starvation, Torture, Mass Murders, Deportation, Siberia, and GENOCIDE. Why? One would think that after all the trouble that Tsarina Catherine the Great went to get the Germans to come to Russia, and after living in the Volga Colonies for 100 years, they would be welcome forever. Not so: the Russians felt the German-Russians were still "Germans" at heart and not to...

If I stray too far to the left I endanger myself by riding in the travel lane, if I stray too far to the right, I run the risk of riding into the shoulder and crashing and getting a serio...
