Chapter Four. State Policies and the Conversion of Jews in Imperial Russia
Russians, Jews, and the Pogroms of 1881-1882
Anti-Jewish pogroms rocked the Russian Empire in 1881–2, plunging both the Jewish community and the imperial authorities into crisis. Focusing on a wide range of responses to the pogroms, this book offers the most balanced and comprehensive study of the crisis to date. It presents a nuanced account of the diversity of Jewish political reactions and introduces a wealth of new sources covering Russian and other non-Jewish reactions to these events.…

The Jew as Russifier
This article explores the literary career of the Russian Jewish author Lev Levanda (1835–88) with particular emphasis on his novel Hot Times, an exploration of the fate of Jews in the Polish uprising against Russian rule of 1863. The author seeks to differentiate Jewish intellectuals into a spectrum of categories (Old Maskilim, Young Maskilim, Russian Jewish Intelligentsia, and Total Assimilationists) in order to explore the processes of accultur…

Easter in Kishinev
The Pogrom Tradition in Eastern Europe
In the last years of perestroika in the USSR, rumours periodically swept large Soviet cities like Moscow and Leningrad that a pogrom against the Jews was imminent. These pogroms, usually announced by threatening notes in letter boxes, were often predicted for dates in early May, and were linked to the feast of St George (one of the patron saints of Russia) on the Russian Orthodox Church calendar. Many Jews were terrorised — which seems to have be…

Pamyat and the Jewish Menace
For veterans of the Russian winter, the term “thaw” will ever remain an appropriate metaphor for the waning of periods of control and repression. Unfortunately, many Soviet political thaws have given way quickly to resurgent winters. Perhaps most significant in the current Soviet thaw, the policies of glasnost and perestroika associated with Mikhail Gorbachev, has been the extent to which Soviet society has been invited to participate in it. Soci…

The Ambiguous Legal Status of Russian Jewry in the Reign of Catherine II
A Russian proverb knowingly reminds us that "the law is like a wagon-tongue -whichever way you point it, there it goes." It is useful to remember this observation when examining the position of the Jews in the nineteenth-century Russian Empire. The legal basis for that position, which was characterized by exclusion and discrimination, has commonly been traced to the period from 1772 to 1796, when Russia's Jews first entered the empire in large nu…

The Illiustratsiia Affair of 1858
Writing in 1862, the testy Slavophile publicist and editor Ivan Aksakov complained: The expressions: ‘idea of the age,’ ‘liberal idea,’ ‘human thought’ — act in our progressive society as some sort of scarecrow (pugalo) , to frighten the most courageous critic. This is that sort of sign for which every lie is willingly concealed, a lie often not only not liberal and not humane, but forcibly disturbing and insulting to the rights of life, and the …

Odesskii vestnik’s Annus Mirabilis of 1858
AbstractEn 1858, la surveillance éditoriale du journal, Odesskii vesmik,qui avait été publié jusqu’ici par le bureau du gouverneur général de Novorossiia, se remettait entre les mains d’un comité professoral au lycée Richelieu à Odessa. Sous l’encouragement du conservateur progressif de la région d’éducation d’Odessa, N. I. Pirogov, le journal publiait une série des articles au sujet des plus importantes questions du jour, y compris l’émancipatio…
