Volume II traces the web of connections, contacts, and interactions between social and political fi gures from the European Russian Diaspora and Eretz Israel. Having been forced into emigration by the revolutionary upheaval and the establishment of the Bolshevik regime, numerous Russian political and social activists sought to reestablish connections and contacts with their erstwhile colleagues in the revolutionary movement, many of whom were Jews who had immigrated to Eretz Israel. On the basis of copious documentary evidence, this volume examines the following thematic linkages:
– Pinhas Rutenberg (1878-1942) and Aleksandr Berkenheim (1878-1932): the first stage in the electrifi cation of Palestine;
– Pinhas Rutenberg and his Parisian friends (M. Vishniak, E. Lazarev, Ilya and Amaliya Fundaminskys, etc.);
– Pinhas Rutenberg and Vladimir Burtsev: the hunt for Comintern agents in the Middle East;
– The visit to Palestine (1935) by Viktor Chernov (1873-1952), one of the ideologues of the Russian Socialist-Revolutionary Party; Chernov’s correspondence with his Palestinian “confederates”;
– The unrealized projects of M. A. Aldanov’s trip to Israel and the publication of his works in Hebrew
