The October 1905 pogroms and the Russian authorities
This article analyzes the October 1905 pogroms in the Russian Empire. It explores the reasons for the pogroms, the perpetrators, the victims, and the consequences for the Jewish population. The article shows the differences and peculiarities of the pogroms, which occurred in the cities and shtetls, rural areas, on the railroads, and in the ports. The article also explores the attitude and involvement of the higher and local authorities, police, and troops in the pogroms. Historians continue to debate whether these pogroms occurred spontaneously or were organized by the Tsarist authorities. This article provides considerable evidence that the October 1905 pogroms were not a spontaneous reaction of conservatives to the revolutionary events, but rather was the policy of the Russian government directed toward the suppression of the revolutionary movement.
Революция 1917 г. – заговор иноверцев и инородцев? Эсхатологический взгляд на русскую революцию
ABSTRACT The rejection of communist ideology and renaissance of Russian Orthodoxy opened up for right-wing conservative views that have been picked up by Russian Orthodox nationalists enthused by monarchic ideas. They tend to romanticize the Russian empire and interpret the revolution of 1917 as a plot of religious and ethnic others (inovertsy and inorodtsy). The article focuses on this perception of the revolution and its connections with Russian Orthodox eschatology, which depicts the Jews as the army of Antichrist. I demonstrate that this view became legitimate in the beginning of the 21st century and is currently being shared even by certain well-known politicians.
