Dawn # 49. On the 1881 Russian Jews.
SPb. 1881, p. 1915 - 1943. Size 26 x 35 cm. Complete condition.

The initiator of the publication was a group of St. Petersburg Jews who sought to counteract assimilation. Since it was impossible to obtain permission to publish, it was decided to use the right of A. Tsederbaum to publish, which he retained after the termination of the publication of the newspaper "Bulletin of Russian Jews" (1871-73).
Initially, the journal positioned itself as a national Jewish publication, which sought to develop Jewish culture and literature, to study Jewish history. Despite the fact that the publication had a positive attitude to the idea of settling Eretz-Israel , the solution of the Jewish question in Russia, the leadership of the magazine saw in the transition of a large part of the Jewish population to agricultural work.
However, after the pogroms of 1881 and anti-Semitic speeches in Russia, the magazine changed its position and became the main propagandist of the Jewish emigration and the Palestinian movement " Hovevey Zion ". January 16, 1882 in the "Dawn" was published an interview with the Minister of internal Affairs count N. P. Ignatiev Isaac Orshansky, in which the Minister allowed mass Jewish emigration: "the Western border is open to Jews... ". [1]
However, two other Jewish magazines published in St. Petersburg, the Russian Jew (1879-84) and Voskhod (1881-1906), sharply criticized the course of the publication and called for a boycott of its subscription, as a result of which by the beginning of 1883 the circulation of the magazine fell to 900 issues and it was forced to close due to lack of Finance.

Since the founding until 1880 nominal editors were A. Zederbaum and Dr. A. Gelderblom (1828-1913), however, the actual guide publication was carried out by Y. Rosenfeld , M. Warsaw (1853-97), M. I. Kulisher , [2] N. Minsky , P. Levenson . In 1880 — 82 years G. Bogrov and J. Rosenfeld were the official editors of the magazine. Since 1882 — only I. Rosenfeld.
With the magazine "Dawn" worked Vengerov , D. Chwolson , L. Slonimsky , A. Volynsky , V. Berman , [3] S. Frug , I. Orshansky , M. Abramovich , M. Kagan, A. Barsky , L. Levanda, M. L. Lilienblum [4] L. Pinsker and others.
