A significant part of the socialist movement to in Russia was in the hands of Jewish socialists because of the disproportionately large number of Jews in Russian revolutionary parties. This was even more the case in the Pale of Settlement, where Russia's Jewish population was concentrated and where the first Marxist party in the Russian Empire, the Bund, flourished. Jewish members of socialist parties were, however, inhibited from pleading the case of Jews due to the internationalist, even anti-nationalist, political position of most socialists. Surh's article explores the response to antisemitism among Jewish socialists, primarily in the Pale, by considering the career of the revolutionary Social Democrat, Grigorii Aronson, in the period before 1914. Aronson joined and worked with the Bund for a short while but, for most of his career, he was a member of the Russian Social Democratic Workers Party (RSDRP), first as a Bolshevik and, from 1917 until the end of his life, as a Menshevik. Although most Jewish socialists joined the Bund or a number of Zionist socialist parties, quite a number joined Russian parties including, besides the RSDRP, the Socialist Revolutionary Party and a number of anarchist groups. These are the parties whose attitude and stance towards antisemitism that Suhr's article explores through Aronson's biographical journey.}, number={3-4}, journal={PATTERNS OF PREJUDICE}, author={Surh, Gerald D.}, year={2017}, pages={253–268} }
 @article{surh_2013, title={Afterword}, volume={65}, ISSN={["1465-3427"]}, DOI={10.1080/09668136.2013.842366}, abstractNote={STEVE SMITH HAS IDENTIFIED VIOLENCE AS THE THEME THAT MOST closely unites the articles in this collection of otherwise diverse topics. And although the principal thrust of some contributions goes elsewhere—those of Badcock, Herrlinger and Young come to mind—all the other articles deal with violence quite explicitly, and even in those three violence against the victims lies close to the surface. Beyond that, Smith has evaluated the contribution of each article in its own right, as they each contribute something to enlarging and enriching our understanding of the period. Liudmila Novikova’s account of the Civil War in the Russian North among peasants well illustrates the processes by which the parochial interests and rivalries of peasant collectives could come to support causes of national, all-Russian import. In seeking to defend and protect their own communities and aligning themselves with the political forces that served that purpose, they also transformed themselves. New leaders and groupings took shape, advancing their own ambitions by taking on and fulfilling the needs of the Civil War rivals closest at hand. The weakening of state authority and the disappearance of the police promoted peasant awareness of the injustices of the landlord regime, empowering them to strike out against it. Novikova’s contention that much of the Civil War’s violence was perpetrated by such processes of molecular repositioning and reordering of rural violence is not only convincing for the Russian North, but is also suggestive of social and political dynamics in other peasant locales. This process also reminds us that much violence that emerged during the years of revolution lay in potentia, concealed as symbolic violence among peasants and in other pre-revolutionary Russian venues. The same should have been true of the brutality and neglect suffered by prisoners and exiles in Siberia, yet the subjects treated by Sarah Badcock and observed by Sarah Young’s writers seemed only half alive, so adjusted had they become to the abuse inherent in the prison and exile system. The depersonalisation and lack of communication that Young found in Kennan, Dostoevsky and Chekhov suggest a degree of bureaucratic violence comparable to that visited upon Gulag and Shoah prisoners. The few examples of concern for the Siberian exiles that Badcock found among some Tsarist administrators add a touch of realism to the workings of the late Imperial bureaucracy, though their humane instincts were far outweighed by the sheer inertia of a cruel system that increasing numbers of Russians were judging to be unreformable. Accounts of one-sided victimisation are also given by James Ryan and Page Herrlinger, the victims in this case being the Orthodox Church and a heterodox Christian sect in the EUROPE-ASIA STUDIES Vol. 65, No. 9, November 2013, 1848–1851}, number={9}, journal={EUROPE-ASIA STUDIES}, author={Surh, Gerald D.}, year={2013}, month={Nov}, pages={1848–1851} }
