Abstract:
The history of the Zionist movement in the USSR after the October Revolution of 1917 is a history of relentless persecution. Post-October Petrograd-Leningrad was a home for several youth movements, such as Zeirei Zion, Hehaver, and especially Hehalutz. The repressions against them began immediately after the revolution, in 1918, despite the pro-Soviet stance of many of the members. Many active young Zionists were arrested and subsequently perished. In 1925-26, the authorities commenced the liquidation of Zionist activities in Leningrad, which at that time had gone underground. The trial of the former halutzim and Poalei Zion activists in 1937 was the final blow to the Zionist movement in Leningrad.
