Jews are typically viewed as urban dwellers. However there was a
considerable Jewish presence in villages from the very beginning of
their settlement in Eastern Europe in the 12th century, up until
the Holocaust. The presence of a large Jewish population in
villages was, in fact, one of the most distinctive features of East
European Jewry. The colourful personality of Jewish leaseholders of
the production and sale of alcoholic beverages was often depicted
in Polish, Russian and Jewish literature of the 19th century, but
the real knowledge about the East European rural Jews beyond the
stereotypical view is still at large. The book presents the results
of a systematic survey, the first of its kind, on the rural Jews in
the Minsk Guberniya, from its establishment as a major
administrative unit within the Russian Empire in 1793, to the
outbreak of the First World War in 1914. The present study is based
mainly on systematic sources, which produced, for the first time, a
full picture of Jewish settlement in the countryside in one
particular region of the Russian Empire.
