Benjamin Pinkus presents a rigorous, archival-driven account of Soviet anti-Jewish policy from the final, paranoid years of Stalin's rule through the Khrushchev era, chronicling the state's calculated efforts to eliminate Jewish cultural, religious, and intellectual life through legislation, propaganda, and institutional persecution. Drawing on an extensive body of primary documents — many translated and compiled here for the first time in English — this scholarly study details the mechanisms of Soviet antisemitism with forensic precision, illuminating how ideology and state power converged to marginalise an entire people.\n\nPublished in association with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Institute of Contemporary Jewry and the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, this work carries the full weight of serious academic collaboration and remains an indispensable resource for historians of the Soviet period and Jewish studies alike. Under the general editorship of Jonathan Frankel of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the volume achieves a rare balance of documentary authority and analytical depth, situating Soviet Jewish policy within the broader context of Cold War repression and ethnic nationalism. For anyone seeking to understand how a modern state weaponised bureaucracy against its own citizens, this is an essential — and deeply unsettling — text.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160937177307,"sku":"2026200013857-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/059a38af-ac1e-43e4-ac5c-7962c70d6159.png?v=1787188460","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013857-secondhand-the-soviet-government-and-the-jews-1948-1967-a-documented-study","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
