'''Chortitza Colony''' was a [[Russian Mennonite]] settlement northwest of [[Khortitsa Island]] and is now part of [[Zaporizhia]], [[Ukraine]]. Chortitza was founded in 1789 by German-speaking Mennonite settlers from [[West Prussia]] and consisted of many villages. It was the first of many Mennonite settlements in Russia. Because the Germans living in these villages were evacuated or deported at the end of World War II, mostly Ukrainians and Russians are found there today.

==Background==
Mennonites had lived in West Prussia from the middle of 16th century. Because of their fast growing population, finding more land was a constant concern. When West Prussia became part of the [[Kingdom of Prussia]] in 1772 through the [[First Partition of Poland]], the Prussian Government enacted a law making it difficult for Mennonites to acquire land. This compelled a significant part of the Mennonite population to seek better opportunities in nearby cities, [[Danzig]] in particular.


The film was released in [[Chile]] on [[February 28]], 2008,<ref>[http://www.cinemark.cl/cine_alto_las_condes.php Cinemark Chile]</ref> in [[Mexico]] & [[Ecuador]] on [[February 29]], in the United Kingdom and a Canadian expansion on [[March 14]], in [[Australia]] on [[March 20]], in [[Germany]] on [[April 10]], in [[Brazil]] on [[April 25]], in [[Hong Kong]] on [[April 28]] and in the [[Philippines]] on [[April 30]]. The World Television premere on [[Disney Channel]] was on [[July 26]], [[2008]].
Believing agriculture to be the backbone of the Russian economy, in 1763 [[Catherine II of Russia]] issued a manifesto inviting German farmers to Russia's unoccupied agricultural lands. Colonization attempts were intensified in 1774 after the [[Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774|Russo-Turkish War]] when [[Grigori Alexandrovich Potemkin|Potemkin]] was appointed governor general of South Russia which included territory recently [[Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca|won]] from the [[Mustafa III|Sultan]] of the [[Ottoman Empire]].


==Plot==
Colonization agents advertised the availability of [[crown land]]s to people throughout Europe. One of these was Georg von Trappe, who visited the Mennonites of Danzig in 1786. The Mennnonite congregations elected two delegates, [[Jakob Höppner]] and Johann Bartsch, who von Trappe arranged to send to Russia at government expense. They departed in the fall of 1786, sailing first to [[Riga]], then travelling cross country, arriving at the [[Dnieper River|Dnieper]] in late November. From here they sailed down the river looking for a suitable site. They met Potemkin at [[Kremenchuk]] and were presented to Catherine in May, as she was inspecting her new territories. They found a suitable settlement location, then returned home by way of [[Saint Petersburg]], where they met with [[Paul I of Russia|Crown Prince Paul]], who confirmed the promises made by von Trappe.<ref>Smith, p. 251</ref>
The film shows Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers on her ''[[Best of Both Worlds Tour]]'' as Hannah Montana, with film clips taken from her performance in [[Salt Lake City, Utah]]. Behind-the-scenes clips are shown also. It is noted that there is no connection with the television series since this is a concert combined with documentary elements.


==Cast==
The special privileges included guarantees of religious freedom, [[Nonresistance|exemption from military service]], 70 ha (175 acres) of free land for each family, exemption from swearing [[oath]]s in legal procedings, ability to establish their own schools and teach in their own language, the right to restrict the establisment of taverns and the ability to make their own beverages. These rights and privileges were beyond those enjoyed by common Russian peasants. There were restrictions that applied to all colonists, such as a restrictions against proselytizing among [[Russian Orthodox Church]] members and revocation of privileges for anyone leaving or marrying outside of the colony. Land could be inherited, so long as it remained part of the settlement. A farm could not be subdivided among heirs in order to keep the intact and not degrade the model farming practices that were the intention of the government.<ref>Smith, p. 257.</ref>

==Critical reception==
Upon their return, Höppner and Bartsch found that four fammilies had already departed for Riga and hundreds more were eager to immigrate. The West Prussian authorities, though restricting the expansion of Mennonite settlements locally, did not want the wealth of the Mennonites to leave the country. Only the poorest families were granted passports.
Critics gave the film generally favorable reviews. As of [[March 14]], 2008, the review aggregator [[Rotten Tomatoes]] reported that 75% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 32 reviews.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1190286-_hannah_montana_and_miley_cyrus_best_of_both_worlds_concert/ |title=Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert - Movie Reviews, Trailers, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes |accessdate=2008-02-04 |publisher=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]}}</ref> [[Metacritic]] reported the film had an average score of 59 out of 100, based on 13 reviews.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/bestofbothworlds |title=Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour (2008): Reviews |accessdate=2008-02-04 |publisher=[[Metacritic]]}}</ref>

Mennonite settlers, 228 families in all, set out for Russia in the winter of 1787, arriving in Dubrovno (today in [[Belarus]]) in fall of 1788, where they over-wintered.<ref>Smith, p. 252.</ref> Early in 1789 they traveled down the Dnieper River to the settlement site, on the banks of the Dnieper, near present-day [[Kherson]]. Their original destination was now a battlefield because of renewed [[Russo-Turkish War (1787-1792)|Russo-Turkish hostilities]], necessitating an alternate location. They received land at a new site on Chortitza, a small tributary of the Dnieper, near Alexandrovsk (present-day Zaporizhia).


==Release== August 19
The pioneering years were extremely difficult. The more prosperous brought their possession by wagon while the others sent them by barge. When the barges arrived they found that the containers had been ransacked and valuables removed or ruined by rain. Similarly, building material sent down-river was stolen before it arrived. Many of the settlers were city laborers with no knowledge of farming, and the farmers among them found the dry steppes unsuitable to their former farming methods.

===Hannah Montana===
Internal friction among the settlers, rooted in a long standing division separating [[Frisians|Frisian]] and [[Flemish]] branches of the church, was compounded by the lack of any pastoral leadership. Church leaders were traditionally selected from lay members of the congregation and were expected to serve for life as unpaid pastors. Because pastors were expected to support themselves, they were usually chosen from among those who were prosperous enough to do so. Because only the poorest where allowed to leave Prussia, there were no pastors among the settlers.

Initially families built temporary shelters such as sod dugouts and tents while a few tried to live in their wagons. Höppner and Bartsch were able to build substantial homes. Land was divided among the families and each lived on their own land. In reponse to the lawlessness of the region they found that it was more practical to group themselves together in villages of fifteen to thirty families.

As their difficulties mounted, the settlers accused Höppner and Bartsch of keeping government money intended for colony use. Both men were excommunicated from the Flemish church and the authorites were convinced to arrest Höppner. Bartsch confessed his wrongdoing and was reinstated into his conregation. Höppner was soon released from prison, moved to Alexandrovsk and joined the Frisian group. In 1889 a monument commemorating the colony's centenial was placed on Höppner's grave. It has since been moved to [[Mennonite Heritage Village]] in [[Steinbach, Manitoba]].


Bonus DVD
Initially eight villages were organized, with Chortitza at their center. Another 180 familes arrived in 1798-1797 and by 1824 a total 400 families lived in the colony.<ref>Smith, p. 256.</ref> Over the subsequent decades a total of 23 villages where founded:

===For More Information===
==Local government==
[http://www.hannahmontanadvd.com Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert DVD and Blu-Ray Official Page]
Mennonite colonies were self-governing with little intervention from the Russian authorities. The village, the basic unit of government, was headed by an elected magistrate who oversaw village affairs. Each village controlled its own school, roads and cared for the poor. Male landowners decided local matters at village assemblies.


===Television===
All of the Chortitza villages formed a district headed by a superintendent and regional bureau that could administer corporal punishment and handle other matters affecting the villages in common. Insurance and fire protection were handled at the regional level, as well as dealing with delinquents and other social problems. Chortitza, along with the other Mennonite settlements, functioned as a democratic state, enjoying freedoms beyond those of ordinary Russian peasants.<ref>Smith, p. 268.</ref>
The 74 minute theatrical cut 3D film had it's world television premiere in 3D on [[Disney Channel Asia]] on [[June 21]], [[2008]] at 9pm (Singapore/Malaysia/Philippine timing) and in 3D/2D format on [[Disney Channel Asia]] on [[June 22]], [[2008]] at 10am and later on at 7.30pm. On Disney Channel Asia the movie was sped up by about 2-3 minutes making the movie only about 72 minutes.


Because of this the voices came out high pitched and mildly distorted. They did not speed up the movie in America though, they left it in its full 74 minute form, with the exception of the scene with Miley and her father in the car being cut out for content due to controversy over them not wearing their seatbelts. The 74 min 3D film had its basic cable premiere in 3D on [[July 26]], [[2008]] on [[Disney Channel]], [[Family Channel]] (Canada)at 8:00 pm and again at 9:30 pm. It will also premiere in 2D on [[July 27]], [[2008]] on [[Disney Channel]] at 6:30 pm. The movie will also have multiple showings in both 2D and 3D on [[Starz]] starting on [[July 26]] [[2008]] and continuing through the month of August. All these showing will occur the before the film's DVD/Blu-ray release on [[August 19]] <ref>{{cite news | last =Dimond | first =Anna | title = [[Hannah Montana]] Movie Arrives on TV — and in 3-D | work =Today’s News: Our Take | publisher =TV Guide | date =2008-06-16 | url = http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-News-Blog/Todays-News/Miley-Cyrus-Movie/800041682 | accessdate =2008-06-17}}</ref>. Beginning July 27, both the 2D and 3-D version will be available on Starz on Demand in standard definition and HD.
==Education==
At a time when compulsory education was unknown in Europe, the Mennonite colonies formed an elementary school in each village. Students learned practical skills such as reading and writing German and arithmatic. Religion was included as was singing in many schools. The teacher was typically a craftsperson or herder, untrained in teaching, who fit class time around his occupation.


The movie on TV was shown in an [[anaglyphic]] encode. Unlike [[Disney Digital 3-D]] this did'nt show the polarized format that the movie was in when it opened in theatres. Wal-Mart stores gave out free 3-D glasses for the Disney Channel Premiere and also in the July 21, 2008 issue for TV Guide Magazine they had a free pair of 3-D glasses. On Disney Channel in Australia, the film premiered on July 26, and selected K-Mart stores gave away free pairs of 3-D glasses, leading up to the premiere. On Disney Channel New Zealand, The Best Of Both Worlds Concert premiered on August 2nd, 3D glasses were sold in [[The Warehouse]] Stores.In Canada, the 3-D glasses sold in Wal-Mart costed 50 cents with all proceeds going to charity.
The Central School was started in Chortitza in 1842. Over three thousand pupils attended the Central School with up to 8% of the colonists receiving a secondary education.<ref>Smith, p. 270.</ref> Those who wanted to pursue post-secondary education attended universities in Switzerland, Germany as well as Russia.

==Daughter colonies==
As the population of the colony grew and land became scarce, new areas for resettlment were sought. In 1864 land was purchased for [[Grand Duke Michael of Russia]] to form Fürstenland, which by 1911 consisted of five villages with 1800 residents. Borozenko was formed in 1865 and by 1915 totaled five villages with a population of 600.<ref>Smith, p. 304.</ref>

==Setlist==
Eventually an economy developed and the Chortitza settlement prospered. In the course of the 19th century the population of Chortitza multiplied, and daughter colonies were founded. Part of the settlement moved to Canada in 1870. Since Chortitza was the first Mennonite settlement, it is known as the ''Old Colony''. Those who moved from Chortitza to North America are often referred to as Old Colony Mennonites and are more conservative than most other Russian Mennonites in North America.
===Opening credits===

# "[[We Got the Party]]"
The settlement received income from communal land and enterprises. A public ferry across the Dnieper earned between two and three thousand rubles annually, the municipal [[merino]] flock totaled about a thousand animals in 1820 and a distillery provided additional community income. These funds were used for large undertakings, such as forming daughter colonies for the growing population.<ref>Smith, p. 263.</ref>

The settlement's first economic setback was overcome through the effort of skilled craftsmen. Industry in Chortitza developed in the middle of the 19th century, mainly milling and production of agricultural machinery and clocks. The growing landless population found work in these factories. Three large factories, Lepp & Wallmann, Abram J. Koop, Hildebrand & Pries and two smaller factories, Thiessen und Rempel produced agricultural machinery in Chortitza and Rosental. The machinery was used not just by Mennonites, but all over Russia. In later years, the three largest factories were combined into a single business and, after the [[Russian Revolution of 1917]], produced tractors and automobiles under the Saporoschetz brand. The business was confiscated from the former Mennonite owners shortly after the 1917 revolution and today is part of [[AvtoZAZ]]-[[Daewoo]].

==Anarchy==
[[Image:Machno.jpg|thumb|Nestor Makhno]]
A long period of prosperity was broken by World War I (1914-1918), which led into the [[Russian Civil War]], interrupting the lives of Chortitza's residents. Mennonites served as [[Combat medic|medics]] during the war, caring for injured soldiers. For a short time after the war, the German army occupied Ukraine, including Chortitza. After the [[Armistice with Germany (Compiègne)|Armistice]] at the end of 1918 the German soldiers withdrew. A self-defense force was organized within the villages, perhaps with help and weapons from the German army. Some of the Mennonites took part in this force, even though they traditionally opposed military service on religious grounds. Civil war raged from 1917 to 1921 as the communists tried to take power. Things were chaotic in Ukraine during this period of anarchy. Various criminal gangs assaulted the prosperous German colonies, particularly the band led by [[Nestor Makhno]]. Initially the villages attempted to protect themselves with the help of the self-defense force. Resisting Makhno was no longer possible when he aligned himself with the [[Red Army]]. The Mennonite settlements were open to indiscriminate plundering. Makhno's band killed, robbed and raped. In 1919 alone, 144 Chortitza residents were murdered.

==Communism==
After communists gained control over the region, they began to appropriate grain from the landowners. Eventually the population began to starve and epidemics spread. During this time Mennonites began organizing to immigrate to Canada. When the situation normalized in the 1920s many did immigrate.

In 1926 the village of Einlage was abandoned to make way for the flooding from the [[Dnieper Hydroelectric Station]] dam. Many other Chortitza Mennonites suffered under the [[Kulak|dekulakization]] programs of the 1920s and the [[Collectivisation in the USSR|collectivization]] of 1930.


==World War II==
===Hannah Montana===
# "[[Rock Star (Hannah Montana song)|Rock Star]]"
As World War II begin in 1941, the Soviet government intended to deport all the residents of Chortitza to Siberia, but the German [[Wehrmacht]] advance so quickly, the plan could not be executed. Under German occupation, the population made a degree of recovery. But by 1943 German people were evacuated to [[Reichsgau Wartheland]], and the Wehrmacht retreated from the Soviet Union. As the Red Army entered German territory they seized refugees attempting to flee the Soviet Union. Some escaped by going deeper into Germany, but as Soviet citizens, the Allies delivered them back to the Soviets. With a few exceptions, the former residents of Chortitza were deported to Siberia and [[Kazakhstan]]. There they were simply released on the bare steppe. Many did not survive. They shared the fate of other [[History of Germans in Russia and the Soviet Union|Germans from Russia]].

After the restriction of free travel was eased in 1956, a few returned to their old home of Chortitza. Today mostly Ukrainians and Russians live there. A few Mennonites, who have either a Russian parent or spouse, can be found there now. In Kazakhstan, Mennonites have gathered in industrial cities such as [[Karaganda]].

At the end of the 1980s Mennonites in the Soviet Union began to immigrate to Germany. Today the former residents of Chortitza and their descendents are mainly found in Germany.

Box office performance

The 3D movie brought in $8,651,758 on its opening day, and continued on to gross $31,117,834 to finish off the weekend, making it the highest-grossing opening weekend for a film to be released under 1000 screens. [5] The movie is not only the highest-grossing 3D movie 3-Day release, its also the highest-grossing concert movie and highest opening weekend during Super Bowl Weekend. The following Monday, it pulled in $3,253,205. Among films that had fewer than 1,000 screens on opening day, the film ranked second only behind Borat. Hannah opened with $8.6 million on 683 screens and Borat opened with $9.2 million on 837 screens.[6] It averaged $45,560 per screen in its opening weekend, giving it the highest average per theater of all time for a wide release film.[7][8] Because of the strong demand, Disney extended the film's run indefinitely.[1] The film also opened in the UK on March 14, 2008. The film pulled in £242,167 over the first weekend and entered the charts at No.9 where it stayed for one week before being knocked out of the chart the following week. In the Philippines, even though the film hasn't been shown in theaters, tickets were already sold-out for the first day of screening and it has been extended two weeks due to public demand.

Television

The 74 minute theatrical cut 3D film had it's world television premiere in 3D on Disney Channel Asia on June 21, 2008 at 9pm (Singapore/Malaysia/Philippine timing) and in 3D/2D format on Disney Channel Asia on June 22, 2008 at 10am and later on at 7.30pm. On Disney Channel Asia the movie was sped up by about 2-3 minutes making the movie only about 72 minutes.

Because of this the voices came out high pitched and mildly distorted. They did not speed up the movie in America though, they left it in its full 74 minute form, with the exception of the scene with Miley and her father in the car being cut out for content due to controversy over them not wearing their seatbelts. The 74 min 3D film had its basic cable premiere in 3D on July 26, 2008 on Disney Channel, Family Channel (Canada)at 8:00 pm and again at 9:30 pm. It will also premiere in 2D on July 27, 2008 on Disney Channel at 6:30 pm. The movie will also have multiple showings in both 2D and 3D on Starz starting on July 26 2008 and continuing through the month of August. All these showing will occur the before the film's DVD/Blu-ray release on August 19 [9]. Beginning July 27, both the 2D and 3-D version will be available on Starz on Demand in standard definition and HD.

The movie on TV was shown in an anaglyphic encode. Unlike Disney Digital 3-D this did'nt show the polarized format that the movie was in when it opened in theatres. Wal-Mart stores gave out free 3-D glasses for the Disney Channel Premiere and also in the July 21, 2008 issue for TV Guide Magazine they had a free pair of 3-D glasses.
