Long before there were Jewish communities in the land of the tsars, Jews inhabited a region which they called medinat rusiya, the land of Russia. Focusing on the social and intellectual odysseys of merchants, and their varied attempts to combine Judaism and European culture, this book chronicles the story of these first modern Jews of Russia.
