This is the first study of the military experience of some one to
one-and-a-half million Jews who served in the Russian Army between
1827, the onset of personal conscription of Jews in Russia, and
1917, the demise of the tsarist regime. The conscription integrated
Jews into the state, transforming the repressed Jewish victims of
the draft into modern imperial Russian Jews. The book
contextualizes the reasons underlying the decision to draft Jews,
the communal responses to the draft, the missionary initiatives
directed toward Jews in the army, alleged Jewish draft evasion and
Jewish military performance, and the strategies Jews used to endure
military service. It also explores the growing antisemitism of the
upper echelons of the military toward the Jews on the eve of World
War I and the rise of Russian-Jewish loyalty and patriotism.
