<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Russlandmennonitische Studienkommission was a committee of three Mennonite leaders of the [[Ukraine|Ukraine]], from the [[Molotschna Mennonite Settlement (Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Molotschna settlement]], appointed in 1919 after the terrible experiences of the Mennonites of [[Russia|Russia]] in [[World War (1914-1918)|World War I]], the [[Russian Revolution and Civil War|Revolution]], and their aftermath, apparently by the [[Allgemeiner Mennonitischer Kongress (Russia)|Allgemeiner Mennonitischer Kongress]]. The primary purpose of the Commission was to report to Western Europe and to America on conditions among the Mennonites in Russia and to study settlement possibilities abroad. The members were [[Friesen, Abram A. (1885-1948)|A. A. Friesen]], chairman, [[Unruh, Benjamin Heinrich (1881-1959)|B. H. Unruh]], secretary (both teachers in the [[Halbstadt Kommerzschule (Halbstadt, Molotschna Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Kommerzschule in Halbstadt]]), and C. H. Warkentin, a merchant. [[Esau, Johann Jakob (1859-1940)|Johann Esau]], former mayor of [[Ekaterinoslav (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine)|Ekaterinoslav]], then living in Berlin, [[Germany|Germany]], offered to join the group. Friesen and Unruh, together with [[Epp, Heinrich H. (1873-1938)|H. H. Epp]] of Chortitza, had been sent to Germany in the summer of 1918 as a commission to study the possibilities of repatriation to Germany, where they learned that such a plan was impossible.<br />
<br />
The Studienkommission members left Russia 1 January 1920, via Constantinople, and after spending some time in Germany and Holland consulting Mennonite leaders there, reached New York on 13 June. Their urging led to the founding of the [[Mennonite Central Committee (International)|Mennonite Central Committee]] at [[Elkhart (Indiana, USA)|Elkhart]], [[Indiana (USA)|Indiana]], in July, and the Canadian Central Committee at [[Rosthern (Saskatchewan, Canada)|Rosthern]], [[Saskatchewan (Canada)|Saskatchewan]], on 18 October 1920 (became the [[Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization|Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization]] 17 May 1922). As the only preacher in the group, Unruh was sent on a deputation tour of Mennonite churches in the United States and Canada (accompanied for a time by Esau, who soon returned to Berlin, to settle later in [[California (USA)|California]]), while Friesen studied settlement possibilities in the western states and provinces and in Mexico. Unruh returned to Europe on 1 November 1920, while Friesen and Warkentin stayed in [[Canada|Canada]]. Unruh then set up in Karlsruhe a permanent office for Russian Mennonite emigration matters, where he lived until his death in 1959.<br />
<br />
The formation in December 1920 of the Dutch Mennonite [[Commissie voor Buitenlandsche Nooden|Algemene Kommissie voor buitenlandsche Nooden]] at Rotterdam was due in part to a proposal by Unruh. A. A. Friesen was for many years secretary of the Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization. His files, with much material on the Studienkommission and the immigration of the Russian Mennonites, are now in the [[Mennonite Library and Archives (North Newton, Kansas, USA) |Mennonite Library and Archives]], North Newton, Kansas. Unruh's files have been lost, but his unpublished manuscript "Fügung und Führung" (copies at Mennonite Heritage Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba and [[Mennonite Historical Library (Goshen, Indiana, USA)|Mennonite Historical Library]], Goshen, Indiana) contains much information on the same area.<br />
