СУЧАСНА РОСІЙСЬКА ІСТОРІОГРАФІЯ ПРО МІСЦЕ ТА РОЛЬ ЄВРЕЇВ У РЕВОЛЮЦІЙНОМУ РУСІ В РОСІЙСЬКІЙ ІМПЕРІЇ
MODERN RUSSIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY ABOUT THE PLACE AND ROLE OF THE JEWS IN REVOLUTIONARY RUSSIA IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE

Summary/Abstract: More than a hundred years have passed since the largest continental empire in the world has fallen. The Russian Revolution of 1917, which stopped three hundred-year rule of the Romanov dynasty, ripened in the depths of the Russian revolutionary movement, the problems of the formation and development of which are of vital interest to contemporary researchers. A significant participation of the Jews in the history of the revolutionary movement in the Russian Empire is considered one of the understudied problems, although the Jews together with the Poles, Armenians and Latvians tried to break the autocratic regime at the beginning of the 20th century. Over the past quarter of the century the representatives of contemporary Russian historiography have managed to catch up with the study of those problems of the historical past, which, in the Soviet times, were considered ideologically incorrect themes in the development of the Soviet historical science. The main idea of the article is to determine the priority directions and the most urgent problems in contemporary Russian historiography of the participation of the Jews in the revolutionary movement in the Russian Empire, on the basis of a critical analysis of the results of the latest research of the Russian historians. The notion of “revolutionary movement in the Russian Empire” is understood by the author as the development of all known at that time all-Russian revolutionary organizations that were distinguished by their activity, especially at the beginning of the 20th century, which aimed at overthrowing autocracy.
