Dov Ber Borochov, founder of Zionist Socialism, came to final rest in Israeli soil today, 46 years after he died and was buried in Kiev, in 1917. His remains were brought here today from the Soviet Union accompanied by Israel’s Ambassador to Moscow, Yosef Tekoah.
The bier was taken from Lydda Airport to Histadrut House in this city, where it lay in state for four hours. Then the remains, accompanied by a large convoy of automobiles containing some of Israel’s most prominent Zionist-Socialists and labor leaders, were taken for reinterment at Kineret. There, Borochov’s remains rest now, alongside the remains of Berl Katznelson and other former leaders of Poale Zionism.
