An exhibition illustrating the development of Jewish life in Russia has opened in the State Ethnographical Museum here. The exhibition is divided into three sections.
The first is devoted to Jewish life in Russia before the Revolution. Pictures, diagrams and documents illustrate the economic and political conditions of the Jewish population under the Czarist regime. The pogroms of the years 1881 and 1905 are represented in pictures, and the part played by the Czarist Government in organizing the pogroms is supported by a mass of documents.
The second is devoted to Jewish literature, theatre and art and to the Jewish part in the Russian revolutionary movement. The third section traces the development of Jewish life and culture after the Revolution.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
