This collection of essays examines the politicization and the politics of the Jewish people in the Russian empire during the late tsarist period. The focal point is the Russian revolution of 1905, when the political mobilization of the Jewish youth took on massive proportions, producing a cohort of radicalized activists - committed to socialism, nationalism, or both - who would exert an extraordinary influence on Jewish history in the twentieth-century in Eastern Europe, the United States, and Palestine. Frankel describes the dynamics of 1905 and the leading role of the intelligentsia as revolutionaries, ideologues, and observers. But, elsewhere, he also looks backwards to the emergent stage of modern Jewish politics in both Russia and the West and forward to the part played by the veterans of 1905 in Palestine and the United States.

Now back in print in a new edition A Century of Ambivalence The Jews of Russia and the Soviet Union, 1881 to the Present Second, Expanded Edition Zvi Gitelman A richly illustrated survey of the Jewish historical experience in the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the post-Soviet era. "Anyone with even a passing interest in the history of Russian Jewry will want to own this splendid... book." --Janet Hadda, Los Angeles Times "... a badly needed historical perspective on Soviet Jewry.... Gitelman] is evenhanded in his treatment of various periods and themes, as well as in his overall evaluation of the Soviet Jewish experience.... A Century of Ambivalence is illuminated by an extraordinary collection of photographs that vividly reflect the hopes, triumphs and agonies of Russian Jewish life." --David E. Fishman, Hadassah Magazine "Wonderful pictures of famous personalities, unknown villagers, small hamlets, markets and communal structures combine with the text to create an uplifting book] for a broad and general audience." --Alexander Orbach, Slavic Review "Gitelman's text provides an important commentary and careful historic explanation.... His portrayal of the promise and disillusionment, hope and despair, intellectual restlessness succeeded by swift repression enlarges the reader's understanding of the dynamic forces behind some of the most important movements in contemporary Jewish life." --Jane S. Gerber, Bergen Jewish News "... a lucid and reasonably objective popular history that expertly threads its way through the dizzying reversals of the Russian Jewish experience." --Village Voice A century ago the Russian Empire contained the largest Jewish community in the world, numbering about five million people. Today, the Jewish population of the former Soviet Union has dwindled to half a million, but remains probably the world's third largest Jewish community. In the intervening century the Jews of that area have been at the center of some of the most dramatic events of modern history--two world wars, revolutions, pogroms, political liberation, repression, and the collapse of the USSR. They have gone through tumultuous upward and downward economic and social mobility and experienced great enthusiasms and profound disappointments. In startling photographs from the archives of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research and with a lively and lucid narrative, A Century of Ambivalence traces the historical experience of Jews in Russia from a period of creativity and repression in the second half of the 19th century through the paradoxes posed by the post-Soviet era. This redesigned edition, which includes more than 200 photographs and two substantial new chapters on the fate of Jews and Judaism in the former Soviet Union, is ideal for general readers and classroom use. Zvi Gitelman is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. He is author of Jewish Nationality and Soviet Politics: The Jewish Sections of the CPSU, 1917-1930 and editor of Bitter Legacy: Confronting the Holocaust in the USSR (Indiana University Press).

In the period from 1881 to 1917 socialist movements flourished in every major centre of Russian Jewish life, but, despite common foundations, there was often profound and bitter disagreement between them. This book describes the formation and evolution of these movements, which were at once united by a powerful vision and sundered by the contradictions of practical politics.

Excerpt from The Legal Sufferings of the Jews in Russia: A Survey of Their Present Situation, and a Summary of Laws This book ought to command the attention of all Englishmen. It sets forth the gross and patent injustice endured by Russian Jews under the government of the Tsar. This systematic ill-usage of the Tsar's Jewish subjects now - in Iolz - finds no parallel in any other great Christian State of the modern world; such, for example, as England, France, Italy, Germany, or the American Commonwealth. The wrong wrought upon the Jews under the law and still more under the administrative system of Russia, is all but incredible to Englishmen. Hosts of Russians, as we know, are highly civilised and highly humane men they are men of eminent talents, who would be the glory of any country in the world. More than one Russian writer, moreover, exerts wherever literature is read an immense and deserved influence. It is therefore difficult for us to believe that a State distinguished by such illustrious citizens is the home, as regards at any rate Russian Jews, of cruel despotism. But In plain truth, the Russian Empire is not a wholly civilised country. Russian law and Russian officials apply to the treatment of Jews methods of barbarism or of medizevalism, and these methods originate, partly, at any rate, in the fact that many of the inhabitants of the Russian Empire, though, as it is reported, and can well be believed, good-natured and kindly in the main to their neighbours, still look upon the Jews much in the light in which the Jews were regarded during the Middle Ages not only by the pe0p1e but also by the statesmen of Europe. What may be the precise aim of Russian policy in regard to Russian Jews it is unnecessary for us to determine: the effect of this policy is absolutely certain. Russian statesmanship forces Russian Jews to make a choice between exile on the one hand and on the other hand either ruin or (what is still more terrible) the permanent degradation of every Jew who inhabits the Russian Empire. This statement, based on a careful study of this treatise, expresses my deliberate conviction. My aim is to justify this conviction by calling attention to three dominant results, the certainty of which is established by the Legal Sufferings of the Jews in Russia.
