In this pathbreaking study, I. Michael Aronson offers a closely
argued and many-faceted reinterpretation of Russian anti-Semitism
and tsarist nationalities policy. He examines, and refutes, the
widely held belief that the anti-Jewish pogroms in Russia in 1881
were a result of a conspiracy supported by the tsarist government
or circles close to it, investigating claims and counterclaims
about what happened during that fateful year and guiding the reader
through a maze of events and decades of subsequent interpretations.
Although the pogroms are treated within the context of Russian
history, Aronson's analysis has significance for Jewish studies as
well. When the Russian government adopted reactionary and
repressive policies, Jews began to seek new solutions to the
problems that plagued them: massive numbers emigrated to the United
States; other turned to revolutionary socialism; still others were
attracted to Zionism and supported the creation of the state of
Israel.
