Combining ethnography with archival research, Jewish Russians: Upheavals in a Moscow Synagogue documents the changing face of the historically dominant Russian Jewish community in the mid-1990s. Sascha Goluboff focuses on a Moscow synagogue, now comprising individuals from radically different cultures and backgrounds, as a nexus from which to explore issues of identity creation and negotiation. Following the rapid rise of this transnational congregation-headed by a Western rabbi and consisting of Jews from Georgia and the mountains of Azerbaijan and Dagestan, along with Bukharan Jews from Central Asia-she evaluates the process that created this diverse gathering and offers an intimate sense of individual interactions in the context of the synagogue's congregation.Challenging earlier research claims that Russian and Jewish identities are mutually exclusive, Goluboff illustrates how post-Soviet Jews use Russian and Jewish ethnic labels and racial categories to describe themselves. Jews at the synagogue were constantly engaged in often contradictory but always culturally meaningful processes of identity formation. Ambivalent about emerging class distinctions, Georgian, Russian, Mountain, and Bukharan Jews evaluated one another based on each group's supposed success or failure in the new market economy. Goluboff argues that post-Soviet Jewry is based on perceived racial, class, and ethnic differences as they emerge within discourses of belonging to the Jewish people and the new Russian nation. 606 $aSynagogues$zRussia (Federation)$zMoscow$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews$zRussia (Federation)$zMoscow$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews, Georgian (South Caucasian)$zRussia (Federation)$zMoscow$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aJews, Bukharan$zRussia (Federation)$zMoscow$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aMountain Jews$zRussia (Federation)$zMoscow$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aMoscow (Russia)$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSynagogues$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews, Georgian (South Caucasian)$xSocial conditions 615 0$aJews, Bukharan$xSocial conditions 615 0$aMountain Jews$xSocial conditions 676 $a296/.0947/3109049 700 $aGoluboff$b Sascha L$01053978 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452364803321 996 $aJewish Russians$92486253 997 $aUNINA
