Abstract:
Describing the situation of the Jews in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) in 1917 before the Bolshevik Revolution in November, relates also the antisemitic mood in the city and antisemitic outbursts. The increase in antisemitism began in June-July 1917, following Russian military failures and the growing weakness of the Provisional Government. Jews were represented in all of the significant political parties; most of them did not support extremist movements. However, the right flank of public opinion blamed the Jews for Bolshevism, whereas the followers of the extreme left-wing parties regarded the moderate Mensheviks as a Jewish party. Anti-Jewish outbursts took place in the city in summer 1917. In autumn the Jews of Petrograd tried to establish Jewish self-defense.
