Schuck (Gryaznovatka), Kamenka, Saratov, Volga, Russia

• Schuck was founded as a Roman Catholic colony on 18 July 1766 by 29 families from the Palatinate and Mainz who had been recruited by Baron de Boffe. Eight additional families arrived on 1 May 1767. The colony was named after its first leader, Jakob Schuck. By decree, it was given the Russian name of Gryaznovatka on 26 February 1768.
• On 16 September 1941, the inhabitants of Schuck were deported and distributed to villages and districts of the Krasnoyarsk Territory of Siberia. From 1942 to 1944, the village was used as a prison camp by the NKVD, with the prisoners engaged in agriculture. The colony no longer exists, having been raised completely sometime in the mid-1980s (it appears on topographical maps in 1981, but not in 1987). The streets of the former colony of Schuck are still visible in satellite images.
