He argues that the Russian response to the Jewish Question was based less on a tradition or religious antipathy than on the failure to develop a consistent, well-articulated policy in the face of a new and unusual problem. This failure led to ineffective social legislation and became the legacy of Russia's first encounter with the Jews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis essential book will be of enduring interest to scholars of modern Russian and Jewish history.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47602775949463,"sku":"9780875809830","price":3974.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780875809830.webp?v=1775012920","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/russia-gathers-her-jews-the-origins-of-the-jewish-question-in-russia-1772-1825-9780875809830","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
