  • Agriculture and Believers in Post-World War II Communist Siberia
    Sowing Hatred or Producing Prosperity: Agriculture and Believers in Post-World War II Communist Siberia Aileen Friesen, Conrad Grebel University College In 1975, an article entitled “Sowers of Rancor and Hatred” ap- peared in Znamia, the regional newspaper of the district of Isil’kul’ in the province of Omsk, Siberia. The article focused on the village of Puchkovo, which had been overwhelmed by a sinister sect, the Mennonites. The author, M. Dud’ev, described how these sectari- ans had gathered for the Harvest Festival (prazdnik urozhaia), during which time they displayed their anti-Soviet beliefs by call- ing on each other to “sow the seeds of joy near the blacken soil of the enemy.”1 As this article lamented the pernicious influence of Mennonites in the Siberian countryside, it pointed to a real dilem- ma on the collective and state farms of the Isil’kul’ district – they were full of Christians, particularly Mennonite Brethren believers who were German-speaking, evangelical leaning pacifists, with a strong agricultural tradition.2 Beginning in the 1950s and over the next several decades, the intersection between the state’s commitment to facilitate the growth and modernization of agriculture and the revival of reli- 288 Journal of Mennonite Studies gious life in the Soviet Union produced a unique dynamic on these farms. In the district of Isil’kul’, Mennonites, despite claims by some to the contrary, embodied many of the characteristics prized by the state for farmworkers: hard work, honesty, and sobriety. However, their motivation for embracing such principles – their belief in God – was problematic for this atheist state.3 The opposite was also true – through their hard work, Mennonites, in essence, helped to build a state that persecuted them and represented prin- ciples contrary to their religious beliefs.
