After the October Revolution of 1917, they received territorial autonomy &#8211; the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga Germans. In 1941, after the German attack on the USSR, they were deported to Siberia and Kazakhstan. The deportation of the Germans led to the decline of the national language and culture, to accelerated assimilation with the rest of the population of the USSR. The consequences of the deportation caused the emergence of the resettlement movement to Germany, which especially intensified in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/overlandtravel.org\/russia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Map-Volga-German-cities-and-settlements.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1354 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/overlandtravel.org\/russia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Map-Volga-German-cities-and-settlements.gif\" alt=\"Map Volga German cities and settlements\" width=\"827\" height=\"890\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/overlandtravel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/18-10-26-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-339 noreferrer\">Map Volga German cities and settlements<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/overlandtravel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/18-10-26-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-339 noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-339 size-full\" title=\"Saratov region, village\" src=\"http:\/\/overlandtravel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/18-10-26-4.jpg\" alt=\"One of the villages where the Volga Germans lived, Saratov region.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/overlandtravel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/18-10-26-9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-336 noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-336 size-full\" title=\"Saratov Region, Volga River\" src=\"http:\/\/overlandtravel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/18-10-26-9.jpg\" alt=\"One of the villages where the Volga Germans lived, Saratov region.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/overlandtravel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/18-10-26-6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-335 noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-335 size-full\" title=\"Saratov Region, Volga River\" src=\"http:\/\/overlandtravel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/18-10-26-6.jpg\" alt=\"Saratov Region, Volga River\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Saratov Region, Volga River.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Volga is a river in the European part of Russia.
