*Between 1911 and 1915, a small group of Volhynian German farmers chose to move to '''Eastern Siberia'''. They settled in '''Pikhtinsk, Sredne-Pikhtinsk, and Dagnik''' in what is today '''Zalarinsky District of Irkutsk Oblast''', where they became known as the "Bug Hollanders". They apparently were not using the German language any more, but rather spoke Ukrainian and Polish. They used Lutheran Bibles that had been printed in East Prussia, in the Polish form known as fraktur. Their descendants, many with German surnames, continue to live in the district into the 21st century. | *Between 1911 and 1915, a small group of Volhynian German farmers chose to move to '''Eastern Siberia'''.
