Summary
Between the 1770s-1880s, Eastern European Jews progressed from being a religious group in a feudal system to being a recognized ethnic minority in the Russian multi-national empire. Ch. 12-13 (p. 172-202) discuss antisemitism in Russia in the late 19th century following the reforms of Tsar Alexander II. Both the radical Left and the conservative Right saw the Jews as Western urban intruders who were trying to change traditional life in Russia, and as participators in a world conspiracy. Many Jews, disappointed with the reforms, became involved in revolutionary movements. The murder of the tsar in 1881 brought on a year-long wave of anti-Jewish violence and pogroms. Official investigators blamed the Jews themselves for these acts, since they had allegedly exploited the peasants. Laws were passed in 1882 limiting Jewish commerce, and shortly afterward the Jews began to emigrate.
