چکیده:
The formation of the Russian state was accompanied by considerable territorial expansion. The Russian state accompanied this seizure and annexation of lands with deep and widespread socio-economic transformation. The expansion of the Russian Empire was accompanied by the implementation of extensive policies to assimilate various ethnic groups into Russians. Jews were one of the social groups that, during the territorial expansion of Russia, suffered significant damage in the process of implementing a policy of homogenization. The policies of the Russian government regarding nationalities were fundamentally aimed at destroying any national distinction among the people of the empire, and Jews, along with Muslims, were targets of this policy. After the victory of the October Revolution, it was expected that with the slogan "the right to self-determination of nations" raised by Lenin, the Jews of Russia would also be able to have a special life according to their own religion. But soon the falsity of this view became clear. Jews, who had found an opportunity to revive their economy during the short NEP period, were once again faced with a new wave of attacks. The new leaders of Russia were also unwilling to accept an independent identity for the Jews. This article examines the socio-political-economic developments of Russian society until the end of World War II, focusing on the issues of the Jews, and their position. The main purpose of this writing is to provide a general overview of the situation of Jews in Russia before and after the October Revolution until the establishment of the State of Israel.
