Thanks for your comments Merv. I have posted Merv's comments here as I feel access to our ancestral villages and the political environment the Ukrainian archives operate under are important to all Germans from Russia. Comments?

Thank you both for a really pertinent post.
Ukraine has a 'love hate' relationship with Germany where the emotion is fading over time.Historically, the reagions of our anscestors were not ,for most of recent history, Ukrainian & we were as much the victims of WW2 as they were.
I'm interested in finding out if there was any return to the Black sea areas by the Black Sea Germans after 1945.
