 Urry, July 1999
The new immigrants came to be known as Russländer, the older settlers as Kanadier, and at least on the prairies during the 1920s through to the 1940s these terms marked a major divide between people in areas where Mennonites of the old and new immigration interacted.
The generally accepted view of the association of Mennonites with politics is that while they have always lived under the political control of "worldly" leaders, and since the emergence of nations they have lived within the borders of some kind of nation-state, actual Mennonite involvement in politics has remained minimal.
The first immigrants to Manitoba from Russia after 1874 had already named the later immigrants from Russia who arrived between 1890 and 1914 not as members of congregational-communities but as individuals or in small groups, as "Russländer," and the name was later transferred to those of the large immigration from the Soviet Union after 1923.
