  • The History of Birobidzhan

    Gennady Estraikh, Edyta Bojanowska et al.BOOKThe History of Birobidzhan2023

    Gennady Estraikh’s book is the first to explore the birth, growth, demise and afterlife of the Birobidzhan Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR). The History of Birobidzhan looks at how the shtetl was widely used in Soviet propaganda as a perfect solution to the ‘Jewish question’, arguing that in reality, while being demographically and culturally insignificant, the JAR played a key, and essentially detrimental, role in determining Jewish rights and ent…

  • Pogroms

    Eugene M Avrutin, Elissa BemporadCHAPTERPogroms2021

    From the last decades of the nineteenth century through the first decade of the twentieth century, Jewish communities in the Russian and Habsburg Empires experienced different cycles of pogroms, with waves of anti-Jewish violence in 1881–1884, in 1898, and in 1903–1906. World War I and the Russian Civil War marked a new phase in pogrom violence. Unlike previous pogroms, which were largely spontaneous attacks, the violence during this period emerg…

  • Jews and the Imperial State

    Eugene M AvrutinBOOKJews and the Imperial State2010

    At the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries, a gradual shift occurred in the ways in which European governments managed their populations. In the Russian Empire, this transformation in governance meant that Jews could no longer remain a people apart. The identification of Jews by passports, vital statistics records, and censuses was tied to the growth and development of government institutions, the creation of elaborate…

  • Jewish Neighbourly Relations and Imperial Russian Legal Culture

    Eugene M AvrutinARTICLEJournal of Modern Jewish Studies2010Referencias: 2

    Focusing on the northwest Russian provinces of Vil’na, Grodno, and Kovno (roughly, the territories that comprise present‐day Lithuania), this essay analyses the role that courts and the legal process itself played in the mediation of Jewish neighbourly relations between the 1830s and the 1880s. Historians have argued that Jews lived side‐by‐side with other ethnic communities for hundreds of years before their mass destruction in the twentieth cen…

  • Returning to Judaism after the 1905 Law on Religious Freedom in Tsarist Russia

    Open AccessEugene M AvrutinARTICLESlavic Review2006Citada por: 4Referencias: 18

    As a consequence of the 17 April 1905 law on religious freedom, hundreds of baptized Jews petitioned to return to Judaism. While the law paralleled the liberalization of the attitudes and values regarding religious differences that occurred in European societies between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries, the reform also helped destabilize traditional social boundaries and religious identities in the empire. On one level, this essay examines t…

  • The Politics of Jewish Legibility

    Eugene M AvrutinARTICLEJewish Social Studies2005Referencias: 1

    In 1804, as part of the first systematic statute on Jews of Russia, the imperial administration required all Jews to adopt surnames. In an effort to minimize the self-sufficiency of theJewish community and linkJews to the broader polity, the statute attempted to reorganize the place ofJews in Russian society. As in France and Prussia at the end of eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries, the requirement that all Jews adopt surnames s…
