Vol. 1, "'Adversus Iudaeos' Texts in the Literature of Medieval Russia (988-1504)", presents a philological study of anti-Judaic works known to eastern Slavs in the medieval period. Stresses that over 90% of the texts were translations, mostly from Greek, done by southern Slavic literati. Contests the view that the works (on world history, sermons, and disputations) reflect actual polemics between Christians and Jews. Concludes that since comparisons with other cultures are not yet available, some important questions cannot be answered - e.g. what was the attitude of the ordinary eastern Slav toward Jews, what was the common image of the Jew among Russian bookmen, and what were the mechanisms in Rus' culture or theology that perpetuated the transmission of anti-Judaic works to such a considerable extent, if indeed it was considerable. Vol. 2, "Jews and Christians in Medieval Russia: Assessing the Sources", concludes that previous generalizations about Jews, including those relating to animosity toward them, are based on flimsy evidence. Notes, for example, that claims that Jews played an important political role in Rus' are preposterous. There is no evidence of Jewish practice of usury or of particular Jewish involvement in commerce or the slave trade. Also concludes that the "pogrom" of 1018 did not take place; that the "pogrom" of 1113 was not a pogrom, although it might have hurt some Jews, among others; and that there is no authentic evidence for an expulsion of Jews from Rus' by Vladimir Monomachos. The scholarly arguments presented here undermine antisemitic interpretations of Jewish economic oppression of Slavs as well as unfounded Jewish claims of Slavic antisemitism.

The Jews of Khazaria chronicles the history of the Khazars, a people who, in the early Middle Ages, founded a large empire in eastern Europe (located in present-day Ukraine and Russia). The Khazars played a pivotal role in world history. Khazaria was one of the largest-sized political formations of its time, an economic and cultural superpower connected to several important trade routes. It was especially notable for its religious tolerance, and in the 9th century, a large portion of the royal family converted to Judaism. Many of the nobles and commoners did likewise shortly thereafter. After their conversion, the Khazars were ruled by a succession of Jewish kings that began to adopt the hallmarks of Jewish civilization, including the Torah and Talmud, the Hebrew script, and the observance of Jewish holidays. In this thoroughly revised edition of a modern classic, The Jews of Khazaria explores many exciting new discoveries about the Khazars' religious life, economy, military, government, and culture. It builds upon new studies of the Khazars, evaluating and incorporating recent theories, along with new documentary and archaeological findings. The book gives a comprehensive accounting of the cities, towns, and fortresses of Khazaria, and features a timeline summarizing key events in Khazar history.

The Jewish Persona In The European Imagination written by Leonid Livak and has been published by Stanford University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010-09-10 with Literary Criticism categories.
This book proposes that the idea of the Jews in European cultures has little to do with actual Jews, but rather is derived from the conception of Jews as Christianity's paradigmatic Other, eternally reenacting their morally ambiguous New Testament role as the Christ-bearing and -killing chosen people of God. Through new readings of canonical Russian literary texts by Gogol, Turgenev, Chekhov, Babel, and others, the author argues that these European writers—Christian, secular, and Jewish—based their representation of Jews on the Christian exegetical tradition of anti-Judaism. Indeed, Livak disputes the classification of some Jewish writers as belonging to "Jewish literature," arguing that such an approach obscures these writers' debt to European literary traditions and their ambivalence about their Jewishness. This work seeks to move the study of Russian literature, and Russian-Jewish literature in particular, down a new path. It will stir up controversy around Christian-Jewish cultural interaction; the representation of otherness in European arts and folklore; modern Jewish experience; and Russian literature and culture.

Ivan the Terrible is infamous as a sadistic despot responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people, particularly during the years of the oprichnina, his state-within-a-state. Ivan was the first ruler in Russian history to use mass terror as a political instrument. However, Ivan’s actions cannot be dismissed by attributing the behavior to insanity. Ivan interacted with Muscovite society as both he and Muscovy changed. This interaction needs to be understood in order properly to analyze his motives, achievements, and failures. Ivan the Terrible: Free to Reward and Free to Punish provides an up-to-date comprehensive analysis of all aspects of Ivan’s reign. It presents a new interpretation not only of Ivan’s behavior and ideology, but also of Muscovite social and economic history. Charles Halperin shatters the myths surrounding Ivan and reveals a complex ruler who had much in common with his European contemporaries, including Henry the Eighth.
