Polityka rosyjskich władz lokalnych wobec żydowskich towarzystw kulturalno-oświatowych na terytorium guberni białoruskich w latach 1905-1914
Policies of local authorities towards Jewish cultural and educational societies in Belarus in 1905-1914

Summary/Abstract: The 1905-1907 Revolution led to a liberalisation of Russian legislation regulating social relations. The October Manifesto as well as Provisional Rules Governing Societies and Unions led to a mass legalisation of community organisations throughout the Russian Empire. Formalisation of the wide civic movement in Belarus possessed a distinct ethnic character, where Jewish cultural and educational organisations were highly active at the time. This paper analyses the most common situations pertaining to the life of Jewish cultural and educational organisations, which drew special attention from local governments of the Russian Empire.
