Europe's Russian Colonies
Title
Europe's Russian Colonies
Description
Over the course of the long nineteenth century, hundreds of thousands of tsarist subjects left the Russian empire and resettled in the major urban centers and university towns of western Europe. There, they formed diverse yet close-knit immigrant communities that they referred to as "Russian Colonies." This series of interactive maps traces the flow of people and ideas across borders and explores the "colonies" that tsarist subjects constituted overseas.
