From 'Mercy' to 'Banner of Labour: the Bukharan Jewish press in late Tsarist and early Soviet Central Asia
/ Loy, Thomas; Levin, Zeev
Levin, Zeev
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
This paper presents the development and transformations of Bukharan Jewish newspapers and periodicals (1910–38) and situates them in the broader Central Asian mediascape. Over a period of 30 years, the Bukharan Jewish press was transformed from a pioneering privately owned enterprise that served the needs of the Jewish communities throughout Central Asia to one owned and regulated by the Soviet state, serving as a tool to transmit propaganda and to shape and educate a predefined ‘national minority group’. The paper argues that the introduction of a Bukharan Jewish press in 1910 was intended to create a modernized language and ethnic awareness among the Jews of Central Asia. In the 1930s, Bukharan Jewish newspapers and journals were radically Sovietized and finally shut down by the state. From then until the collapse of the Soviet Union, no Bukharan Jewish publications appeared in the bloc and the existence of a distinct Central Asian Jewish identity was largely ignored. This case study sheds light on Tsarist and Soviet minorities’ policies and helps us to better understand the various changes experienced and the cultural adaptations made by many ‘minorities’ of Central Asia in the Age of Colonialism.

Incessant Interest: Tsarist, Soviet and Putinist Mideast Strategies
/ Katz, Mark N
Katz, Mark N
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
Russia is a country that Western and other observers have often claimed pursues a grand strategy, and that it does so far more determinedly and successfully than its Western counterparts. The Middle East is a region in which not just the Soviet Union and now Putin's Russia have been described as successfully pursuing grand strategies. Tsarist Russia also did, and for a longer period than its successors. Still, both the Tsars and the Soviets experienced setbacks in the Middle East and elsewhere. However, as Russian observers have noted proudly (and Western ones ruefully), Russia has displayed a knack for recovering from setbacks and often becoming even stronger than before — thus enhancing its reputation for successfully pursuing a grand strategy.
