Neu-Yagodnaya-Polyana (which means New Berry Meadow in Russian) was founded in 1855 on the banks of the Yeruslan River about 65 miles southeast of Saratov by colonists primarily from Yagodnaya Polyana. George Kromm stated that 1,620 had gone to Neu-Yagodnaya-Polyana from Yagodnaya Polyana.
Today, nothing remains of the former Volga German settlement of Neu-Yagodnaya-Polyana.
Like its mother colony, Neu-Yagodnaya was a Lutheran village and was probably served by the Lutheran pastor of Schöntal, if there was one.
