This was also the case in Krasna. As seen in 4.3, Landowners and Landless People in Krasna, the number of the landless people increased steadily. In 1870, Krasna had 352 men owning land and 285 men without land.

In Krasna some colonists had become wealthy men, as well, but they rarely invested in trades and firms to process agricultural products. Like most well-to-do Bessarabian Germans, they still tried to suppply their sons with land of their own. This became increasingly more difficult to do. text/html 2019-05-22T06:12:35+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.krasna-photo-collection.de/en/krasna/e-03-01-00?rev=1558505555&do=diff 3.1 The village of Krasna, its location and appearance The location The geographical co-ordinates of Krasna are roughly N 46 degrees 7 minutes, E 29 degrees 14 minutes (See 3.8, Krasna and its Surroundings) A Russian document of 1827 says of the location of the colony of Krasna: The colony is located on a meadow of the Kogälnik River on the right shore.

We do not know about all of these events, since there are no police reports, if there were any made back then. Beginning in 1914 such occurrences were reported in the German language newspapers in North Dakota, where residents sent regular contributions. text/html 2019-05-23T08:47:23+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.krasna-photo-collection.de/en/krasna/g-05-03-00?rev=1558601243&do=diff 5.3 Culture, Habits and Customs Village life reflected the work cycles of agriculture, church holidays, habits and customs. It was marked by simplicity, limited possibilities and concentrated mostly around the village and immediate surroundings. Trips to Akkerman, Odessa and Kilia were minor adventures. Aside from work and shopping for home and farm items, there was little room for other activities. Tradition and Customs were well adhered to. text/html 2019-05-25T07:21:36+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.krasna-photo-collection.de/en/krasna/c-01-03-00?rev=1558768896&do=diff 1.3 The origins of the German settlers of Bessarabia The colonization of Bessarabia was virtually the last link in the settlement of Germans in South Russia. * Catherine II ► settlement of the Volga Germans - manifest of July 22, 1763 * Alexander I ► settlement of the Black Sea Region to the South Caucasus manifest of February 20, 1804 text/html 2019-05-23T12:35:02+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.krasna-photo-collection.de/en/krasna/j-07-03-00?rev=1558614902&do=diff 7.3 Krasna Immigrant Families There were four groups of immigrant families: See also 1.3, The Origin of the German Colonists of Bessarabia * German origin colonists from Warsaw (Poland) * Polish origin colonists from Warsaw (Poland) * Immigrants from other Bessarabian colonies * Immigrants from Odessa colonies around 1840
