Over a quarter of the new arrivals represented Zionist

organizations from the Russian Empire. And it was their
participation that changed the future of the Jewish
people.
Jews in Russia
Better assimilated, educated and wealthier Jews from
Germany and other Western countries identified
themselves as Germans or French more than Jewish.
They often looked down on their kin from the Russian
Empire, considering them to be primitive boors. But the
meeting in Basel changed their opinion of their Eastern
compatriots.
“At the Basel Congress, the Russian

Jews revealed the cultural power we
couldn’t even imagine… Seventy of
them attended the congress, and
there’s no doubt they represented the
opinions and hopes of five and a half
million Russian Jews. So
embarrassing! We thought to be their
superiors, but the education of those
professors, doctors, lawyers,
engineers, businessmen and traders
is on par with the Western standards
to say the least,” Herzl later wrote.
Of 204 participants, 66 were Russian citizens, of which

44 came directly from Russia. Other Russian Jews had
migrated to Germany and other European states by that

time. Those were the people who established the
Russian Jewish Scientific Society in Berlin, dedicated to
developing Zionist ideology.
The organized global Zionist movement emerged thanks

to the Congress, but it gained widespread popularity only
in the Russian Empire which included Ukraine, Belarus,
Moldova, Poland and Baltic states. These territories were
home to the majority of Ashkenazi Jews.
The status differences between the Western and Russian

Jews led to noticeable differences in their take on the
Jewish national problem and the future of Jews. The
Western Jews, with Hertzl at the helm, insisted on
political and diplomatic approach and interactions with
the heads of states and powerful individuals. They
believed they had to secure the international recognition
of the right to found a Jewish state before settling Israel,
reviving Hebrew and restoring Jewish culture. At the
same time, these practical matters were the number one
priority for Russian Zionists.

In spite the differences, the Russian delegation wasn’t

too active at the Congress. They didn’t want to stand out
to avoid the suspicion of the Saint Petersburg authorities
and didn’t want to provide any grounds to accuse

conference participants of plotting against their country.
"At Basel I founded the Jewish State"

The results of that congress seemed incredible for the
time. Within a year, the Zionist movement adopted the
Basel Program, which would guide Jewish communities
for half a century to come.
The central idea of the program was the “creation of a

national home in the land of Israel,” – that is, in Palestine,
which at the time had been under Ottoman rule for nearly
400 years.
To achieve this goal,

as the authors of the
document envisioned
it, Jewish
communities were to
systematically

movement and made and lost
steadily strengthening
it through the
formation of local branches in different countries. Their
goal was to promote the national consciousness of Jews
everywhere and to explain to European governments the
importance of establishing a state.
Long before the Basel Program was formulated, Jews

from Russia were turning these ideas into reality as
thousands fled the Russian Empire from the wave of
pogroms, and took to developing the dry and marshy
lands of Palestine into their new home. By 1897,
thousands of settlers had relocated there from Kharkov,
Kiev and Odessa.
They were aided by two organizations founded in

response to the pogroms: the Hovevei Zion, whose name
translates literally as [Those who are] Lovers of Zion; and
the Bilu, with its name being an acronym of a verse from
the Book of Isaiah (2:5): Beit Ya'akov Lekhu Venelkha
(“Oh, House of Jacob, come ye and let us go.”)
These settlers were hard-working to the point of

fanaticism. Being mostly students with no experience in
hard agricultural labor they were nonetheless adamant in
their decision to make it possible to live off this land. As
many as 15 years prior to the First Zionist Congress, a
handful of them formed a Bilu settlement in Gedera that
actually started off the first wave of the First Aliyah, the
ultimate homecoming movement of the Jewish people.

In addition to converting the idea of repatriation inspired

by the first wave of settlers from Russia into a program,
the First Zionist Congress in Basel had more far-reaching
consequences. The major achievement was not the
establishment of the political principles of Zionism but
rather the practical implementation of its ideology.
Specific steps were proposed to accelerate the creation
of a Jewish state.
For example,
professor Hermann
Shapira (also a
Russian Jew)
proposed to establish
a foundation to
purchase land in Eretz
Yisrael (Land of
Israel), which resulted

Nikolai II's family although the author of
the idea did not live
long enough to see it.
Most of the major land purchases of the Zionist
Organization in Palestine were made by Russian Jewish
activists. One of them was Yehoshua Hankin, who
dedicated his life to negotiating a huge number of large-
scale land purchase deals for the future State of Israel.
The Congress also brought up an idea of founding a

university there, giving birth to the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem.
The First Zionist Congress also adopted the emblem for

the Jewish State, known as the Star of David, and gave a
name to the currency, the shekel. Both ideas were
authored by yet another Russian Jew, David Wolfson, a
close of ally of Theodor Herzl.
The work of the First Zionist Congress was basically that

of a “Jewish parliament in exile,” and Herzl was half-
jokingly dubbed “Jewish President” after the Basel
program was signed.

zionistic congress overlooking the Rhine River, Switzerland, Photograph, 1897.

Herzl wrote a few days later:
“If I were to sum up the Basel Congress in a single

phrase — which I would not dare to make public — I
would say: in Basel I created the Jewish State. If I said
this out loud today, l would be greeted by universal
laughter. In five years perhaps, and certainly in fifty years,
everyone will perceive it.”
51 years later, the State of Israel emerged on the political

map of the world. Although truth be told, this would have
hardly been possible without the foundation laid by the
wave of Jewish settlers from Russia.
A premonition – and the aftermath of the

tragedy
‘‘The Jewish question’ was real in Europe, for the
European nations and for the Jews themselves. After the
Congress, the German embassy in Basel sent a report to
Berlin about the ‘Jewish events’ there. An Israel scholar
of law and politics Amnon Rubinstein quoted a side note
on the document made by the German Kaiser, “I am
more than happy with the migration of Jews to Palestine.
The sooner the better, I am not going to stop them.”
In the long run, anti-Semitism and Judeophobia in

Europe, and primarily in Germany, spiraled into what is
now regarded as the most tragic page in the history of the
Jewish people – the Holocaust.
The signs of Jewish persecution by the emerging Nazi

regimes were seen as early as in 1933, but the issue was
not globally recognized until the 21st World Zionist
Congress that took place in 1939. At the same time, Berl
Katznelson, a Jew of Belorussian origin, urged his kin to
illegally migrate to Israel in greater numbers. According to
him, it was the only way to avoid genocide.
“All I pray for is to meet you all again,” the president of

the Congress, Chaim Weizmann, said as he addressed
the participants.

At the eventual 22nd Congress, having survived the

tragedy of the Holocaust, those Zionists who attended
were firmly determined to create their own state and
unwilling to compromise with the British government that
held Palestinian land under its mandate at the time.
And Russia, this time represented by the Soviet

government, once again played a key part in achieving
the goals set by the Jewish people.
The Soviet Union as Israel’s best friend

The UN General Assembly did not welcome the concept
of founding an Israeli state at first. However, the Soviet
delegation led by Andrei Gromyko, the USSR’s first
Permanent Representative to the United Nations, actively
lobbied, for several days, the idea of establishing two
separate states on Palestinian territory – an Arab and a
Jewish state.
Before final voting took place on November 29, 1947,

Gromyko addressed the UN with an impressive speech.
“Studies of the Palestinian issue

have shown that the Jews and Arabs
in Palestine don’t want or cannot live
together. And this welcomes a logical
conclusion that if these two peoples,
inhabiting Palestine and both having
a history deeply rooted in that
country, cannot live side by side
within one state, we have no choice
but to establish two states, instead of
one – an Arab state and a Jewish
one. And the Soviet delegation
strongly believes that there is no
other viable option available…”
After this address, the number of countries which

abstained from voting dropped to 10, with only 13 UN
member states voting against the partition project in
Palestine, and 33 states – in favor of it.
When the establishment of the Jewish state was

proclaimed on May 14, 1948, the United States
recognized it on the following day, but only de-facto,
which did not imply full diplomatic relations. The Soviet
Union recognized de-jure the newly created state two
days later. The USSR thus became the first country to
establish diplomatic relations with Israel. The United
States did not follow suit until 1949.
But Soviet support for the new country did not stop at
that. After the Arab states’ armed forces invaded Israeli
territory, the USSR supplied it with weapons which were
shipped to the Middle East through socialist
Czechoslovak Republic and Romania. Apart from
weaponry, the countries of Eastern Europe also supplied
Israel with servicemen. They were mostly Jews who had
participated in the war against Germany. Soviet military
officers were also secretly sent to Israel.

Prime Minister of Israel, David Ben-Gurion, agreed to a
reparation agreement with Germany, for which he
was severely criticized by Jews worldwide, who were
outraged by the very idea of cooperation with Germany
after the Holocaust.
The supporters of Zionism knew that once the State of

Israel was created, the “Basel Program” focusing on the
idea of acquiring statehood became obsolete. They
worked out a new platform, the “Jerusalem Program” that

shifted the goals of the Zionist Movement to
strengthening the newly-established state by way of
encouraging Jewish immigration and promoting the unity
of the Jewish people.
Jews from the USSR and former Russian Empire

continued to play an important role in the continued
development of Zionism even after that – but now mostly
as citizens of Israel.
However, it is very unlikely that the state itself could’ve

been founded without the contribution of their
predecessors. Herzl himself wrote this about Russian
Jews, “When we saw them, we understood what it was
that gave our forefathers the strength to persevere even
in the hardest times. I remembered how people used to
say to me, ‘This is something that only Russian Jews can
do.’ If I heard this again, I would say – and that’s
enough!”

the political process, sociology and international relations
