How has location and time affected the German-Russian cuisine?

0

To understand German-Russian cooking, one must know something about history — about the German-speaking people who came to be included in the Russian Empire. In the 1760s, Catherine the Great recruited settlers for Russia’s newly acquired lands along the Volga River, near Saratov. Most of these colonists were from what is now Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, and the French province of Alsace. Later, when Russia wrested territory north of the Black Sea from the Ottoman Turks in the early 1800s, Czar Alexander I recruited settlers from southern Germany and Alsace, as well as Mennonites from East Prussia. As the borders of Russia expanded, other German-speaking people in Eastern Europe became German Russians (an example of this were the Germans in Bukovina, a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire).
