Russia and AmericaWe know the following about the origins of Friedeburg's "Russia" from old writings and oral tradition: More than 100 years ago, a poor farmer lived in the area of the current district of Russia, who was called "Russian" because of his way of life and his rough demeanor. Another story says that the soil in the district was particularly poor and difficult to cultivate. Heathland alternated with some moor and impenetrable bushes. The land resembled the barren and impassable regions of Russia.
