About the Book
The journalist and historian Israel Kleiner invites the reader to consider an old problem--the history of Ukrainian-Jewish relations--from a fresh perspective. The eminent Zionist leader Vladimir (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky (1880-1940) is well known for his role in Jewish political history, but his writings on the Ukrainian question and his relations with Ukrainian politicians have not been the subject of extensive scholarly research.
Jabotinsky, who was born in Odesa, worked as a journalist in that city and witnessed the crisis developing in the Russian Empire as a result of the unrelenting policy of official Russification. As the empire's non-Russian peoples began to mobilize for political and cultural autonomy, there was an increasingly violent reaction from Russian forces, which instigated anti-Jewish pogroms and called for discrimination against inorodtsy (non-natives).
Unlike most Jewish leaders of the period, Jabotinsky believed that Ukraine was crucial to the empire's future: the growing Ukrainian movement was powerful enough to break the wave of Russification, and its political orientation would help determine whether the post-imperial order proceeded in the direction of freedom or tyranny. Well aware that most of the empire's secular Jewish elite was culturally Russified and active mainly in Russian political organizations, Jabotinsky advocated a reorientation. If an accommodation were not reached between the Jewish and Ukrainian movements, he warned, the Ukrainian masses might be swayed by reactionary elements who would persuade them that Jews were their political enemies.

Did You Know... (an "infotainment" introduction to our titles)
- ... that the 1860s marked the beginning of the oil industry in Western Ukraine?
- ... that in September 1996, the introduction of the hryvnia as the national currency was a turning point in Ukraine's fight with hyperinflation?
- ... that Ivan Vernadsky (1821-84) can be considered a representative of the classical school of economics in Ukraine. He was a convinced
laissez-faire
economist and analyzed all other econmic schools from this point of view. Vernadsky's hero was Adam Smith. He also praised T. R. Malthus and J.B. Say. He also held Ricardo in high esteem, especially for his theory of rent and a rigorous formulation of the labour quantity theory of value?
- ... that Petro Doroshenko was probably the most altruistic of the Cossack hetmans. He had a well-earned reputation for placing the general welfare of Ukraine above narrow, personal interests?
- ... that Yuri Andrukhovych's works have been translated and published in Poland, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Russia, Finland,.Canada and the United States?
