Romanovs and the Jewish question in Russia / Bulatov, Yu

Bulatov, Yu	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

IT WAS UNDER KIEVAN PRINCE Igor (912-945) that Jewish tradesmen and artisans settled in Kozary, the lower part of his capital. Merchants whose business interests had regularly brought them to Kiev formed the core of the new colony. Russian chronicles contain no information about the newcomers: merchant colonies were common or even everyday facts of life in Rus. Indeed, Russian merchants set up similar colonies along the caravan routes between the East and the West. The agreements signed by Kievan Princes Oleg and Igor with Byzantium in 911 and 944 contained detailed descriptions of the conditions on which Russian merchants who came to Constantinople on business from Kiev and other Russian cities could stay in the Byzantine capital.

Summary/Abstract

The structure of afterthought - which I take from the French phrase 'l'esprit de l'escalier' - has an unhealthy domination over our thought, our scholarship and politics. Rather than facing up to the present and writing to the future, there is a powerful tendency to retain our gaze backwards, to be shackled in the past way of thinking. I suggest the counter-structure of imagination as one way to think about the nature of scholarship.
