150 years of Jewish Emigration

150 years of Jewish Emigration from Russia ? USSR ? Russia: History and Destinies

Project Directors: Oleg Budnitskii (Russia) and Israel Bartal (Israel).

Coordinator of the project and researcher: Victoria Zhuravleva, Ph. D. in History, Professor at the Chair of World History at the Russian State University for the Humanities (Russia).

The purpose of the project is to reconstruct a wholesome picture of the process of Russian-Jewish emigration starting from 1881, which became the starting point of a mass migration movement, and up to the turn of 20th – 21st centuries. This movement drastically changed the world demographic map of the Jewry. Intra and intercontinental migration currently is an important component of a system of international relations, and is an indispensable characteristic of the world community.

The outcome of the project is to be a monograph (in 3 volumes, in Russian and English).

This international project is aimed at uniting the efforts of historians from different countries that became centers of the Jewish migratory movement, specialists in the issues of nationalities in Russia, and the Jewish question in particular. The project will reconstruct the history of the Russian-Jewish emigration using interdisciplinary approach, methods of micro- and macro history. The project is to make available the previously obscure archival materials and to enable new interpretation of known sources.

The publication will be accompanied with statistical tables, maps, various appendices, selected bibliography. Excerpts from archival and little-known published documents will be embedded in the text.

The collective monograph will become the first comprehensive study of Russian-Jewish Emigration in 150 years to be written by historians, sociologists, philologists, economists from different countries ready for an international and interdisciplinary dialogue on this topic.

On December 13, 2006 in Moscow was hosted a workshop of the editors of volumes of the monograph to be published.

The participants of the workshop were:

Brian Horowitz (Tulane University, USA), the editor of the 1st English volume;
Ilya Gerasimov (State University of Kazan, magazine Ab Imperio, Russia), the editor of the 1st Russian volume;
Jeffrey Veidlinger (Indiana University, USA), the editor of the 2nd English volume;
Yaakov Ro’I (Tel Aviv University, Israel), the editor of the 3rd English volume;
Zeev Hanin (Tel Aviv University, Israel), the editor of the 3rd Russian volume;

and members of the international editorial board of the monograph:
John Klier (University College, United Kingdom) and Oleg Budnitskii (International Center for Russian & East European Jewry).

The seminar developed the working order for the monograph, the final structure of the monograph and the authors’ list.
