OverviewThis is the unknown story of how Zionists imprisoned by Soviet authorities were allowed to choose sentences of permanent departure to Palestine, where they helped build Jewish society and the backbone of left-wing parties and the powerful trade union movement. These leading authors bring to light unknown documents from archives opened after the collapse of the Soviet Union and revise fundamental assumptions about these events. They examine the means by which internal power struggles and personal interventions in the uppermost echelons of the Soviet leadership allowed the Zionists to disseminate their message and recruit thousands of members before the massive arrests of the mid-1920s; demonstrate the extent to which personal contacts between Zionists and those who aided them, and Soviet leaders and members of the security services, were vital to initiating and sustaining the practice of substitution; and using a broad array of British and Zionist documents, reveal the crucial role of Anglo-Soviet cooperation in facilitating the immigration of Zionist convicts. This book will of great interest to all students and scholars of Jewish and Israeli history, Russian and Soviet history and European and British history.

DocumentsReviews'The book tells an interesting story of both the early Soviet regime and the Zionist movement and is well worth reading.' - Inna Shtakser, Tel-Aviv University "'The book tells an interesting story of both the early Soviet regime and the Zionist movement and is well worth reading.' - Inna Shtakser, Tel-Aviv University ""In one of the more strange cases of crime and punishment of all time, Zionists who were imprisoned by Soviet authorities in the 1920s and 1930s had the option of permanent exile to Palestine. The presence of these pioneers/prisoners was duly noted there, for they immediately began to build communities. Galili (Russian history, Rutgers U.) and Morozov (research, Cummings Center for Russian and East European Studies) use fresh documents for archives opened after the collapse of the Soviet union to describe how internal conflicts within the Soviet leadership allowed Zionists to take root in Palestine and develop a Jewish polity, including a trade union movement. They describe Zionism in Soviet Russia, the movement of the exiles, conflicts in Palestine between the settlers and the British, and the rather twisted logic that allowed the emigration in the first place."" --Reference & Research Book News" Author InformationBoris Morozov, Ziva Galili Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
