This is an ethnographic reportage film about Germans in the Kazakh outback. I spent Christmas Eve with real Baptists. Although it is very difficult to get into this Christian brotherhood. I visited the Mennonites, who will never take up arms. How did ethnic Germans end up in Kazakhstan, what do they remember about Stalin's deportation of 1941, were there any chances to recreate German autonomy in Kazakhstan, and do the film's heroes feel German in mentality? I deliberately did not film anyone in large cities. After all, all the real German life was hidden in the village. 00:00 What is this film about? 02:05 I'm going to the Kazakh outback for Christmas 04:20 What does a Baptist prayer house look like? 06:48 How do Baptists communicate with the world and why don't they listen to rock? 14:07 An old German mill among junk cars 17:30 Mennonite Germans - how did they end up in Kazakhstan? 26:30 What is the mentality of Kazakhstani Germans? 30:00 The Lass family has 13 children! 31:02 Russian deputies would be delighted 33:34 Stalin's repressions against Soviet Germans 37:12 Deportation to Siberia and Kazakhstan: how were the Germans accepted by the Kazakhs? 50:00 Life of traditional German families in remote villages 54:45 A republic of Germans in Kazakhstan - was there a chance? 01:01:45 The fate of Germans in Russia and Kazakhstan in the 90s 01:04:46 Celebrating Christmas in a German family 01:07:51 Which Germans decided not to leave for Germany #Germans #Kazakhstan #Baptists Friends, please like and subscribe.
