Abstract:
"This book examines the emotional aspects of revolutionary experience during a critical turning point in both Russian and Jewish history - the 1905 Revolution. Inna Shtakser argues that radicalization involved an emotional transformation, which enabled many young revolutionaries to develop an activist attitude towards reality and a prioritization of feelings demanding action over others. Uncovering the links between feeling, idea and activism holds a special significance in the context of modern Jewish history. When pogroms swept through Jewish communities during 1905-06, young Jews who had fled years earlier, often after bitter conflicts with their families and a difficult rejection of traditions, returned to protect their communities. Never expecting to return or be accepted back, they arrived with new identities forged in radical study circles and revolutionary experience as activist, self-assertive Jews. The self-assertion that had earlier led them away made them more effective leaders than the traditional Jewish communal authorities"--
