THE JEWISH QUESTION AS A RUSSIAN QUESTION
BY DMITRY MEREZHKOVSKY

is the destiny of the Russian Empire itself. One would ascertain the
attitude of these nationalities by asking them: "Are you with Russia
or is it your desire to exist apart from her? If you desire to exist

us--let us then, in this time of terror, disdain to consider our
personal fortunes and let our thoughts be with Russia and with her
alone.
