This classic study, by the late John Doyle Klier, is considered a
seminal text in modern Jewish history by one of the foremost
scholars in the field. In this, his first book, Klier offers an
important analysis of Russia's early acquisition of, attitudes
toward, and administration of its Jewish population. He argues that
the Russian response to the Jewish Question was based less on a
tradition or religious antipathy than on the failure to develop a
consistent, well-articulated policy in the face of a new and
unusual problem. This failure led to ineffective social legislation
and became the legacy of Russia's first encounter with the Jews.
This essential book will be of enduring interest to scholars of
modern Russian and Jewish history.
