Description

The reform era in Russia (1855–1881) witnessed the emancipation of the serfs, economic and social change, the reform of all imperial institutions, and the growth of national identity among Russians and the Empire's expanding Jewish population.

Consequently, the 'Jewish Question' became one of most hotly debated topics in Russia.

Attitudes toward the Jews which evolved during this period persisted up to the Revolution and beyond.

This book, based on exhaustive archival research of materials published during the period, studies the interplay of public opinion and official policy.

The author examines the attitudes of all sectors of Russian educated society towards the Jews.

He also explores how a new group, the Russian Jewish intelligentsia, sought to define a modern Jewish identity in the midst of a multi-ethnic Empire.
