Talk:Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic

message: As a German Russian, I'm very excited to have found an encyclopedia page about this subject (totally by accident - linked from the front page). I think the two last paragraphs (as of Apr. 17, 2004) are not very correct. 
"Many Russians carry hatred towards Volga Germans?" Not true (I grew up  in Russia). If someone hates you for whatever other reason, your German-ness might come up - it's human nature, and Russia is not PC. Perhaps people who personally remember WWII, but they are old and rare.
Secondly, as of late 90's to "repatriate" to Germany, one not only has to speak some German, but speak the right Volga dialect! Please correct these when you get a chance. Thanks.
:: I do not know where Hi was born and grown up. My parents were displaced Wolgagermans, therefore I also belong to the german minority of Russia and I assure that the soviet/russion authorities treated us very badly even crimminally and especialy after the WW2 most of russions hated us and a lot of still do, especially those of us who refuse to assimilate, simply for being us germans not for having done something wrong. It must not be discussed, it is a known fact.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 57.66.70.225 (talk) 10:04, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The article states there were 1.8 million Germans in the area. The article on Saratov states the same area had 800,000 instead. Which is correct? Maury 22:20, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  1.8 million, or 0.8 million? 

message: I also saw documents with the old-style Räterepublik instead of commonly used Sowjetrepublik. Maybe it would be worth putting it in--Czalex  21:27, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Why was this territory not given Independance after the colapse of the Soviet Union?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theerasofwar (talk • contribs) 11:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Mainly because the Volga German ASSR ceased to exist as a political entity after 1941. There was some discussion of reviving the ASSR and then converting it to a federal Republic within the Russian Federation, but the fact is that there are very few Volga Germans left in the region, and most Volga German descendants in other regions (e.g. Kazakhstan, Siberia, and the Far East) have little desire to move back.

message: The article volgaland has very similar content, so I'll merge it here under the more common name.
By the way, does anyone have any reliable source for the claims made at Volgaland#Volgaland? --Enric Naval (talk) 01:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind that, this was related to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/House_of_Huenergardt --Enric Naval (talk) 00:59, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge [[Volgaland]] here 

message: The sentence currently reads "The republic was created following the Russian Revolution, by October 29 (some claim 19th)"
This cannot be a "claim", but is simply the distinction between Old Style and New Style dates. October 29 1918 N.S. (Gregorian) is the same day as October 19 1918 O.S. (Julian). The Russian calendar was converted from O.S. to N.S. in 1918. Milkunderwood (talk) 00:45, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
