De Ruslui (1996)

De Ruslui plot

Around 1720, linen sales were a bit of a mess. The peddlers with their baskets full of beautiful woven fabrics did not lose their belongings on the paving stones. One of them accidentally hears about St. Petersburg that the 'Dutch' Tsar Peter had founded just before. A new city, with new needs and therefore a new market for textiles. He leaves for the East and returns not much later as a very rich man. More adventurers follow, and they may have even more success than that firstfruits. The Engberts family even set up a department store on one of the streets of the Russian city. Prosperity will not end until 1917 when the Revolution puts an end to all capitalism. Destitute, the Russians return to Vriezenveen, where they hardly feel more Dutch anymore, as they never felt Russian in Saint Petersburg in the centuries before. 'De Ruslui' follows a descendant of the Engberts family, Aninka Tellegen, back to the Dutch village and Russian city that are so important to this story. Her journey is punctuated with little bits of drama that take us back two centuries, when families undertook the risky emigration.
