But every time the system cracked, they were the first to be scapegoated. In this video, author Elvira Bary, born in the USSR, unpacks the complex, haunting, and often buried history of Jews in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union—from the Pale of Settlement and tsarist pogroms to Stalinist repression and forced emigration. It’s a story of brilliance, betrayal, and erasure. Don't miss it.
