Abstract:
Contends that despite widespread opinion, Turgenev's short story "Zhid" ("The Kike") is not antisemitic. Its Jewish hero is depicted as viewed by a Russian officer, the protagonist of the story. Turgenev published his story unsigned, fearing that he would be identified with the protagonist. The facts of Turgenev's biography and his correspondence demonstrate that the writer was not an antisemite and he deplored the pogroms of 1881.
