Clara, last season I grew two varieties from Reinhard Kraft, Ludmilla's Red PLum and Ludmilla's Pink Heart, that he Ided as coming from Kazachstan Germans and they didn't look anything like the more common commercial varieties from the CIS that I've grown. And I expect to be growing another one this summer. Bit I think he was implying that these were Kazachstan's that had moved to Germany and I don't know if the varieties they brought with them or acquired in Germany after moving there.
Andrey himself picked up a variety at a farmer's market in Minsk that he called Orange Minsk and to be honest it' s one of my new faves along with some others.
And I thank you as well Andrey, for what you wrote above, which was very interesting indeed.
