[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Kazapen

[Richard Benert]

I thought I had properly thanked Jerry and Otto for trying to help with my Kazapen problem, but I must have clicked on "delete" rather than "send."  Anyway, thanks to both.  The term seems to have been a slippery one.  If anyone comes across it anywhere, please let me know.

  Hi Dick, 


  Best I can do on short notice is an on-line reference at 
  http://www.z-g-v.de/doku/archiv/rumaenien/kapitel-4-1-1-0-1.htm
  Do a "find on page search", and you will see that it occurs
  in this context:


  Es war ihnen auch gelungen, mit den anderen in Bessarabien siedelnden 
  Bevölkerungselementen (Moldowaner, Kazapen, Bulgaren, Ukrainer, Gagausen) 
  zu einer freundschaftlichen Lebensgemeinschaft mit Arbeitsteilung (Bulgaren) zu gelangen


  Also
  http://www.hannowka.de/Video_Panorama.htm
  Der Panoramarundblick zeigt das Dorf Hannowka im August 2004. 
  Ein neues Schulgebäude ist seit 10 Jahren im Bau. Bis 1940 wohnten 
  im unteren Dorfteil die Deutschen , im oberen die "Kazapen",=2 0Angehörige 
  einer russischen Glaubens- richtung.


  I found these, just googling.  But I did restrict the language to German.  There are a 
  few other citations worth considering (in Google Books, books that have been scanned).


  Sorry for not translating, I thought we'd get you straightened out first.


  The reference usually seems to be in the context of the Bessarabian
  Germans

Can anyone give me a good idea of what is or was meant by the term 
"Kazapen"?  I've seen references that make it seem to apply to an ethnic 
group, a religious sect, or a nasty group of anti-Semites.

Thanks for any help.
