Евреи Украины

A brief history of Jews in the Ukraine from the Middle Ages to 1914. Notes that in the period of Polish rule in the Ukraine, demands to restrict Jewish rights emanated from the Catholic clergy. The late 16th and 17th centuries were marked by the rise of anti-Jewish sentiments in the Ukraine. Describes the pogroms perpetrated by Nalivaiko, Chmielnicki, the Haidamaks, and during the "Koliyivshchina" uprising. Stresses that others, besides the Ukrainian Cossacks, bear responsibility for the massacres of the Chmielnicki uprising - Crimean Tatars, Muscovites, and Poles. Notes that during the waves of antisemitism in Russia in 1880-1914, the Ukrainian intelligentsia deplored the phenomenon.
