From Catherine to Khrushcnev, The Story of Russia's Germans
Adam Giesinger
Although Volga German-Russians are the chief interests of the author, it gives the reader general information of the German colonists which proves, to some degree, the rise of a middle class before the Russian Revolution of 1918. After the rise of the Bolshviks and communism, the German-Russians fell as victims and those who were able, fled...

Homeland Book of the Bessarabian Germans,
German Text was by Albert Kern
Excellent reference book. It gives us data about Bessarabian colonies and estates not mention in other records as well as those colonies mentioned in the Stumpp's The Emigration from Germany to Russia in the Years 1763 to 1862. Each colony has one photograph or sketch.A person may be disappointed that his or her own ancestral village doesn't have a list of the early colonists but that wasn't Albert Kern's intent. He was after the history and he created a nice collection The lists he does insert are the names of the soldiers missing in action and those who died in WWI and WWII from pps. 203 to 347.

My Home On The Crimean Steppe
David Weigum
(1876-1952)
Personal Family History. Mentions Carolina, nee Schweikert, Mueller who's husband Johan Mueller's mother was Luise Weigium and listed on p. 156 is listed her family and his background. On p. 157 is the same picture Reinhold Schweikert, Carolina's brother, had in his collection and was given to me to copy by Reinhold's son. Also, mentioned are the families of Emmel Hofer p. 166.
The Weigums lived in the Crimea near Mamut Bai / Eupatoria as did my great great grandfather Jacob Schweikert who had migr. there from Borodino /Bess. and was a blacksmith.
David Weigum was born 11/26 Oct 1876 in Ludwigstal [Meschen] , Krim [Crimea]who's ancestsors had migrated from Germany....
David Weigum writes vivid descriptions of everything around him in his youth ... Unfortuntaely for us who are looking for farther descriptions of life around him as a man, he writes very little. Pushing away this disappointment, I can not forget what he wrote and I will use him as reference as well as giving a few lines here and there as examples whenever I can.
Reilly, Sidney
1874-1925
Reilly: Ace of Spies
Robin Bruce Lockhart
Ian Flemming used Reilly as his role model for his character OO7, James Bond. Like Bond he, too, was a British spy. He infiltrated the German General Staff in 1918... The author was part of a skeme that nearly overthrew the Bolsheviks but the British who had tired of the war, pulled out their monies and support, so, the plot failed. His disaperance is as mysterious as his birth to most historians....
A great deal of Russian history is traced through Reilly's life... His mother was German-Polish-Russian Catholic who was married to a German-Russian by the name of Colonel Hahn who's military career carried them from place to place in Russia, including Odessa.... where Reilly's mother died in 1893... On the afternoon of her funeral, Reilly learns his "real"father is a Jewish doctor... Here is a young man who has all of his life had been told: God save the Tsar and damn all Jews". He leaves the Hahn family and travels to Poland to meet his "natural" father... For a time he uses the name Rosenblum. When he officially joined the British Secret Service he was asked to change his Jewish name and soon he was known as Sidney Reilly, "Ace of Spies".
Bolsheviks would later write into history that Reilly had been one of their agents and had retired to Russia where he help set up the GPU [forerunner of the KGB] department which dealt with spying on foreign soil......More than likely he was arrested by the GPU and executed....
1967
Personal note:When my grandfather USA Army Private Edward Remick was part of the American evacuation of troops from Odessa in 1918, he met Reilly who gave him his first airplane ride... They flew over the old village of Worms where my grandfather had been born in 1900....
