Summary "History of the Jews in Russia and Poland, Volume 2" by Simon Dubnow is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume delves into the Jewish experience in Russia and Poland during the period from the death of Alexander I to the death of Alexander III, covering the years 1825 to 1894. The likely topic of this work involves the systemic discrimination and oppression faced by Jews in these regions under different rulers, as well as the cultural and political implications of these struggles. The beginning of this volume introduces the context surrounding the treatment of Jews in Russia, detailing the transformation of their status following the conscription ukase issued in 1827. This legislation mandated military service for Jewish males, resulting in severe restrictions and inhumane practices, including forced conscriptions of minors and extensive hardships endured during military service. Dubnow highlights the Jewish community's resistance to these policies and the broader implications of such state-sanctioned discrimination, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of oppression and advocacy within the Jewish population throughout the ensuing chapters.
