Mennonites In Uruguay
Mennonites in Uruguay have been present since 1948. The Mennonites of Uruguay are made up of ethnic Plautdietsch-speaking Russian Mennonites, who are descendants of Friesian, Flemish and Prussian people, as well as Spanish-speaking Uruguayans of all ethnic backgrounds, that converted responding to the missionary efforts of the immigrants.

Immigration To Uruguay
Immigration to Uruguay began in several millennia BCE with the arrival of different populations from Asia to the Americas through Beringia, according to the most accepted theories, and were slowly populating the Americas. The most recent waves of immigrants started with the arrival of Spaniards in the 16th century, during the colonial period, to what was then known as the ''Banda Oriental''. Throughout its history, Uruguay has experienced massive waves of immigration from all around the world, specifically from the European continent, and today 90–95% of the Uruguayan population has European ancestry. The largest of these waves of immigration occurred between the last third of the 19th century and World War II, when the whole European continent was in turmoil. The largest groups of immigrants in Uruguay are the Spanish and Italians, both establishing the backbone of modern-day Uruguayan culture and society.

Russia–Uruguay Relations
Russia–Uruguay relations are the bilateral foreign relations between Russia and Uruguay. History Diplomatic relations between Russia and Uruguay were established in 1857, at the initiative of the Uruguayan president Gabriel Antonio Pereira who sent a letter to Tsar Alexander II, proposing closer ties between both countries. Thus, Uruguay was the first Latin American republic and the second Latin American state, after the Empire of Brazil, to be recognized by the Russian Empire. In 1866 a Russian consulate was established in Montevideo, and two years later, a Uruguayan consulate was established in Taganrog. After the October Revolution of 1917, diplomatic relations were interrupted, but were reestablished in 1926.

Moving between countries and cultures – he has lived in Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and finally outside of Tampa, Florida, in the United States– and although eventually distanced from the MADI movement's official conservative views, he remained always faithful to its concepts of ludic invention and whimsical humor within the boundaries of colorful geometric abstraction.

New Israel
New Israel () was one of the Sektanstvo (sectarian) new religious movements that grew and expanded in the Russian Empire in the late 19th to early 20th century, a branch of the ''Postniki'' (fasters). The movement was the result of the schisms that split the "Old Israel" (''Staroizrail'') sect after the death of Perfil Katasonov. Its founder was a peasant named Mokshin, but it rose to notability only under Mokshin's successor, Vasiliy Semionovitch Lubkov (Василий Семенович Лубков, born December 24, 1869). In the 1910s, members of the sect emigrated to Uruguay, where they founded the town of San Javier. New Israel was strongly influenced by the '' Dukhovnye Khristiane'' movement, and in turn gave rise to two new religious sects called ''Noviy soyuz duhovnovo Israilia'' (Новый союз духовного Израиля) and ''Novohristianskiy soyuz'' (Новохристианский союз). Although persecuted in the Soviet Union, the group co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
