Materials in the Russian State Archive

 

Jewish Agriculturalists 1807- 1887

by Victor N.Nikitin, St.Petersburg 1887

translated by Chaim Freedman

The following passages from the Russian sources have been selected for the vivid picture they provide of life on the colonies.

The passages have been freely translated and where the Russian construction was difficult, the general meaning, derived from the context, has been précised. This free translation has been confirmed by comparison to the Hebrew work `Jewish Agriculturalists on the Russian Steppes' (Tel Aviv 1965) which is based largely on the same Russian sources.

Book Review

By Patricia Eames

V.N. Nikitin 's monograph, "Jewish Farmers: Historical. Legislative. Administrative, and Conditions of Daily Life in the Colonies from their Origin to the Present. 1807-1887" appeared in St Petersburg in1887. It rarely appears now in current bibliographic references. It is evident that not one of the contemporary Ukrainian researchers who were authors of a collection of articles ("The Jewish Population in Greater Ukraine: Records And Documents", (Vip. L Zaporothyo, 1994) about Jewish farm colonization in the Northern Black Sea area ever referred to this monograph, in reality, it is the basic work for this subject both for the pre-Revolutionary period .
