Yiddish and the Creation of Soviet Jewish Culture gives voice to
the activists empowered by the state to create a Soviet Jewish
national culture. These activists were striving for a national
revolution to create a new culture for Jews to identify as Jews on
new, secular, Soviet terms. This book explores the ways in which
Jews were part of, not apart from, both the Soviet system and
Jewish history. Soviet Jewish culture worked within contemporary
Jewish national and cultural trends and simultaneously participated
in the larger project of propagating the Soviet state and ideology.
Soviet Jewish activists were not nationalists or Soviets, but both
at once. David Shneer addresses some of the painful truths about
Jews' own implication and imbrication in the Soviet system and
inserts their role in twentieth-century Jewish culture into the
narrative of Jewish history.
