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.

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.
