Extract

The Russian Revolution of 1905 was national as well as political in character. The official policy of repressing national minorities had aroused discontent; the force of nationalism had made itself felt among the submerged nationalities in Russia, promoting both the desire to throw off legal disabilities and the hope of gaining national rights within the Russian Empire. The Jews, subject to the most onerous restrictions, had begun to join nationalistic organizations in the hope that they could influence in some measure their destiny.

2 Vinaver (born 1863, died an emigré in Paris, 1926) exercised a commanding influence. One of the founders and leaders of the Constitutional Democratic Party and one of the most eminent jurists in the empire, he commanded great respect. Though neither an adherent of Zionism nor of any form of Jewish nationalism, he was intensely concerned with Jewish problems.
