The growth of mustard production of sarepta as the factor of the development of the Lower Volga region and the cross-border regions

The article is written in the context of the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga Germans (1923-1941). Long before the becoming of the autonomy the frontiersmen, in the first turn, from Germany created their settlements in the Volga region and, in particular, in Sarepta (the Krasnoarmeyskiy district of Volgograd now). Considerably, the work of these people is the basis of the modern mustard production in the Volgograd region.
