Colonists From Yugoslavia Before Going to Russia, 1922. Creator: Artistiru Studij
Colonists From Yugoslavia Before Going to Russia, 1922. The "Kuzbass" autonomous industrial colony was created in 1921. It was organized by American workers, who took on the obligation of inviting from the United States and Western Europe some eight thousand skilled workers and specialists to industrialize the Kuzbass. The Soviet government turned over to the colonists a number of Kemerovo mine shafts and an unfinished coking plant. To recruit volunteers to work in Siberia, a "Kuzbass Bureau" was opened in the middle of New York City, and an information bulletin began to be published in the United States. Between January 1922 and December 1923, however, only 566 persons arrived for work in the Kuzbass. The colonists included emigrants from America, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Australia, Jamaica, Indonesia, and other countries as well. Kemerovo Oblast Museum of Regional History and Folklife

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of colonists from Yugoslavia before embarking on their journey to Russia in 1922. The "Kuzbass" autonomous industrial colony was established by American workers with the goal of industrializing the Kuzbass region. Despite efforts to recruit skilled workers and specialists from around the world, only a fraction of the expected volunteers arrived between 1922 and 1923.
The diverse group of colonists in this image includes individuals from America, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Australia, Jamaica, Indonesia, and other countries. Dressed in traditional attire and donning flat caps, these men exude a sense of optimism as they prepare for their departure.
The historical significance of this moment is palpable as each individual gazes directly at the camera with determination etched on their faces. This snapshot offers a glimpse into a pivotal chapter in history when international cooperation and migration played crucial roles in shaping industrial development.
Preserved by the Kemerovo Oblast Museum of Regional History and Folklife, this black-and-white photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience exhibited by these early pioneers who ventured into unknown territories in pursuit of new opportunities.
