Abstract:
Examines why it was that similar measures adopted by the German and Russian governments in relation to the Jews had very differing results. Tsar Nicholas I adopted the German policies of integration, such as encouraging Jews to engage in agriculture, organizing Jewish communal bodies, military conscription and secular education. In Germany these measures were progressive, whereas in Russia they were oppressive because they were ruthlessly forced upon the Jews, they carried no promise of legal equality, and their purpose was to convert the Jews or to exclude them from Russian society.
