Was there a Jewish emancipation in Stalin’s Soviet Union? A reassessment of the activity and liquidation of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, 1941–1952
It is commonly argued that the Jews of Soviet Russia and the USSR enjoyed full civic equality. However, this is an oversimplified claim. Under Stalin, the Soviet regime classified the population of the USSR according to a hierarchical system of national-group categories, based on the perceived level of advancement of different ethno-national groups along the Marxist historical timeline. At the top of this hierarchy stood territorial nations conce…
It is Strange to Call an Uzbek, a Jew, or a Latvian, Russian”
The traditional Sovietological paradigm of Stalin’s nationalities policy—presented as an anti‐national policy geared toward the assimilation of non‐Russian ethnic groups in the supernational entity of the “Soviet people” and its Russian culture—has, in recent decades, given way to a more complex approach that has identified strong tendencies in the ideology and practice of Stalinist Bolshevism to foster “primordial” ethnic identities. Most of the…
Beyond Antisemitism
This article focuses on a single major affair within modern Jewish history whose antisemitic context is unequivocally recognized by most historical scholarship, namely, the murderous persecution of Soviet Jews during the final years of Joseph Stalin’s rule (1948–53). I argue that alongside events and actions on the part of the regime that appear obviously antisemitic in nature, one can point to a certain distinct trend in Stalin’s “Jewish” policy…
An Odessan Nationality? Local Patriotism and Jewish Nationalism in the Case of Vladimir Jabotinsky
It is a commonplace that the effort to diffuse and disseminate a modern national identity in Europe and elsewhere in no way meant the complete abandonment of earlier local identities. Rather, the champions of the European national movements frequently integrated elements of a country‐based patriotism ( Landespatriotismus ), enlightened regionalism, and localism. When it comes, however, to the origins of European Zionism, the widespread wisdom is …
State Patriotism and Jewish Nationalism in the Late Russian Empire
In his autobiographical writings, the Russian-Jewish author and the founder of Zionist Revisionism Vladimir Jabotinsky constructed a retrospective self-image, according to which ever since becoming a Zionist early in the 20th century he exclusively clung to a Jewish national identity. This one-dimensional image was adopted by the early historiography of the Revisionist movement in Zionism. Contrary to this trend, much of the recent historiography…
Beyond the Nation-State
Beyond the Nation-State
The Jewish nation-state has often been thought of as Zionism's end goal. This bracing history of the idea of the Jewish state in modern Zionism, from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century until the establishment of the state of Israel, challenges this deeply rooted assumption. In doing so, the book complicates the narrative of the Zionist quest for full sovereignty, provocatively showing how and why the leaders of the pre-state Zionist mo…
This Ship Is Zion
One of the central elements of Herzlian spatial-political thought that has been filtered out of the deterministic historiographical discourse on Herzl-the-visionary-of-the-nation-state is that of travel and tourism, as well as the cultural significance and political context of the representations of travel and tourism in his utopian-political novel Altneuland. The present article argues, however, that it is precisely through accounting for the no…
Brith Shalom’s uniqueness reconsidered
Czechs, Germans, Arabs, Jews
Franz Kafka's short story “Schakale und Araber” (Jackals and Arabs) was published in October 1917 in the monthly journal Der Jude , the intellectual organ of German-speaking Zionism founded and edited by Martin Buber. The narrator, an unidentified and pleasant-mannered European man traveling in the desert, makes a stop at an oasis in an Arab area. The circumstances of his journey and its objectives are unknown. It becomes apparent from his story …
Post-Zionist orientalism? Orientalist discourse and Islamophobia among the Russian-speaking intelligentsia in Israel
This article attempts to shed light on a special kind of Orientalist discourse that circulates in Russian‐Israeli literature and press. This discourse feeds on the cultural sources buried in the Russian‐Soviet imperialist discourse about ‘Russia’s Orient', which has been articulated by modern Russian literature, including prominent Russian‐Jewish authors, and corresponds to the racially grounded discursive practices currently widespread in post‐S…
