The book reviews representations of the Jews in the Russian fiction and interpretations of the “Jewish question” in the Russian journalism in the XIXth century. Right up to the 1860-s the spectrum of characteristics of a Jew in Russian literature was determined by the two poles, represented by the figures of fantastic and demonical Yid and flamboyant and exotic Jew. The collected texts of the Russian writers and publicists (I.Turgenev, A.Chekhov, M.Gorkiy, A.Kuprin, F.Dostoevskii) to a great extent perpetuate these stereotypical images of the Jews, formed at the beginning of the XIXth century.
