About This Book

The volume chronicles Russian and Polish Jewish experience from the accession of Nicholas II through the early twentieth century, detailing state repression, legal and economic restrictions, recurring pogroms including the Kishinev massacre, and responses such as self-defense, emigration, and political movements. It surveys the rise of political and cultural Zionism, socialist parties, and national-cultural autonomism, examines Jews' role in the 1905 revolution and legal battles before the Dumas, and describes wartime and counterrevolutionary violence. The work concludes with discussion of internal communal realignments, a curated bibliography, and a comprehensive index.
