[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Why Did They Leave?

[Howard Krushel]

Dick:
This 1892law and the subsequent clamp down likely explains why so many of
the land contracts were not written up and registered; something I
discovered while searching for Land contracts in the Archives; but then it
seems there was always another regulation or law on the books for most every
thing which then necessitated a bribe to a Czarist Bureaucrat in order to
have him look the other way.

  We know that the government (or rather some 
officials) tried to clamp down on German landholding in Volhynia (again) in 
1907.  Between 1901 and 1907, says Kostiuk, 8043 colonists were accused of 
violating the 1892 law forbidding rental of land by Germans.  But of these 
cases, only 503  actually made it to court
