Abstract:
Yakov Lvovich Teitel (1851-1939) was a Jewish criminal investigator and a judge in provincial Russia (Kazan, Samara, Saratov); he was also a Jewish philanthropist and "shtadlan." He preferred social activism to politics, and defense of individuals against legal restrictions and injustice to changing the legal status of the Jews in Russia. His approach was obsolete in Petersburg, Moscow, and in the Pale, where party and political life existed, but not in the Volga provinces, where every governor was a "little monarch." Teitel believed that antisemitism in Russia was disseminated only by Tsar Nicholas II's court and was not inherent amongst the common people. In 1912, Teitel was dismissed from his position by the antisemitic Minister of Justice Shcheglovitov.
