The impetus for writing this analytical essay gave the publication in "Dortmund Newspaper" (Dortmunder Zeitung) on August 9, 1893.

The original newspaper text in German with detailed commentaries is attached to it. 3.

The critical review "Payment for Loyalty" is devoted to the extremely low level of education of Russia-Germans as compared to other peoples of the USSR as a result of the genocide policy conducted by the authorities against this ethnic minority. 6.
