I thought that this was a fascinating article—and brought in many new ideas and analysis with which I was totally unfamiliar. Obviously, the year between 1881 and 1882 was one of great change and innovation in the Russian Jewish community. My first question lies with the Russian government. Frankel originally declares that “the Jews had brought the pogroms upon themselves... was almost everywhere accepted as self-evident truth” (12). However, later, when discussing the deflation of the 1881-1882 excitement, Frankel states that “The new minister of the Interior, Dmitri Tolstoy, made it absolutely plain [clear] that (unlike his predecessor, Ignatev) he would not tolerate any further pogroms” (17). What accounts for this change in the Russian government? I would like to further inquire about French and British programs “to aid a limited number of young Jews from Russian to make the passage to the USA where they would be trained as farmers” (13).
