Resumen de The Other Jewish Century
This review essay examines works of Russian and Soviet Jewish History by Eugene Avrutin, Oleg Budnitskii, and Yaacov Ro'i that focus on the relationship between Jews and the state during the “long" Russian twentieth century. The works examine this relationship in three discrete periods: the late imperial era proceeding the revolutions of 1917; the era of the Russian Civil War; and the late Soviet era of stagnation and decline. Challenging interpretations of Soviet historiography that have emphasized the open inclusion of Jews in the Soviet project, these works collectively stress the need to reconsider the persistence of racial discourses and anti-Semitism that structured relations between Jews and the state before and after the Bolshevik revolution
