Kostroma
On the 15th of March in the building of the Kostroma State Scientific Library a book presentation was held. Evgeny Fleyman's “Germans of the Konstantinov Volost from the Kingdom of Poland to the Samara Province. (1864-1917).”
Prof. Fleyman told about various waves of German emigration to Russia – about the first merchants in the 16th century, about Catherine the Great's invitation for settlers to come to the Volage, and also about later resettlements during the First World War.
As chair of the church council in Kostroma and as a preview to the upcoming 500th anniversary of the Reformation, Evgeny Alexandrovich also spoke about a few aspects of the Evangelical Lutheran faith. It was very interesting both for those from the congregation that were in attendance and for the university teachers, members of the press and guests of the library who were present.
Evgeny Fleyman's book is a significant contribution to the cultural development of Kostroma as well as a huge help to the Lutheran congregation in the city. Attending the book presentation were Area Dean Elena Bondarenko, Pastor of the Yaroslavl congregation Ivan Shirokov, Preacher Artis Petersons and the volunteer from the Moscow congregation, Tilman Zeeb. The administration of the city was represented by the person in charge of contacts with religious organizations, A.S. Emelyanov.
