Transatlantic Russian Jewishness: Ideological Voyages of the Yiddish Daily Forverts in the First Half of the Twentieth Century

by Gennady Estraikh

Yiddish speaking immigrants formed the milieu of the hugely successful socialist daily Forverts (Forward). Its editorial columns and bylined articles reflected and shaped the attitudes and values of its readership. Profound admiration of Russian literature and culture did not mitigate the writers' criticism of the czarist and Soviet regimes.
