Horowitz relays the paradoxes of a synthetic Jewish and Russian self-consciousness in order to correct critics who have always considered Russians and Jews to be polar opposites and even enemies. In fact, the best Russian Jewish intellectuals--Semyon Dubnov, Maxim Vinaver, Mikhail Gershenzon, and a number of Zionist writers and thinkers--were actually inspired by Russian culture and attempted to develop a sui generis Jewish creativity in three languages on Russian soil.Russian Idea, Jewish Presence JewsRussiaHistory20th centuryJewsRussiaIntellectual life20th centuryRussiaIntellectual life1801-1917JewsHistoryJewsIntellectual life305.8924047Horowitz Brian878943NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910476784603321Russian Idea-Jewish Presence1962635UNINA
