  • Saul Borovoi's Evolution As a Historian of Ukrainian Jewry in the Early Soviet Period
    376 ЗНАНИЕ. ПОНИМАНИЕ. УМЕНИЕ 2014 — №3 AD LITTERAM Saul Borovoi’s Evolution as a Historian of Ukrainian Jewry in the Early Soviet Period B. HOROWITZ (TULANE UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, USA) Brian Horowitz examines the life of the Soviet historian Saul Borovoi and his intriguing schol6 arship on the Jews of Ukraine. Professor Horowitz describes the intellectual context in pre6 Soviet Odessa and the elements that shaped the evolution of Borovoi’s methodology. Borovoi was born into a literary family that was involved in the movement to resurrect Hebrew as a mod6 ern language. In his youth Borovoi fell under the spell of the best historians of his day, Semyon Dubnov, Shaul Ginsburg and Sergei (Israel) Tsinberg. Horowitz shows how Borovoi developed as a historian under the impact of the events of the 1920s and then 1930s. At the forefront of Borovoi’s studies stood economic factors. He also featured the Ukrainian6Jewish relationship that took central significance in Odessa at the time. Horowitz relays Borovoi’s explanation for his survival when many other Jewish scholars either emigrated or died in party purges. However, Horowitz claims that Borovoi’s self6image in his memoir as an outsider and provincial contradicts the facts of his life. Borovoi was a highly regarded historian with professional success and pres6 tige. His life and oeuvre tell us a great deal about the historical profession and Jewish Studies in Russia in the first decades of Soviet rule. Keywords: Saul Borovoi, Jewish culture, early Soviet period, Jewish6Ukrainian relations, his6 tory of the Jews of Imperial Russia. n the late 1980s, a revival of Jewish historical studies in the Soviet Union took place.

    Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies Significant Archival Collections from and relevant to the Former Soviet Union This guide provides users with a select list of USHMM archival collections that originate in the states of the former Soviet Union. Its aim is to present a sample of the rich archival resources at the Museum and to suggest future avenues of research on the Holocaust as it occurred in the former Soviet Union. The number of Soviet resources in the holdings of the Museum’s Archives continues to grow at a rapid pace. Researchers can access more than 4.7 million pages of microfilmed and paper collections, as well as access millions of additional relevant pages in the digital holdings of the International Tracing Service archive on the Museum campus. These collections constitute an important, largely untapped portion of the Museum’s more than 190 million pages of archival holdings and present to scholars information on the vast range of information on the Holocaust as it occurred in the Soviet Union and it affected Soviet peoples. Users can identify archival collections by record group (RG) number or by accession number (Acc). RG and Acc numbers that include the letter “M” are available on microfilm or microfiche. To access the regularly updated Archival Guide to the Collections of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, please visit http://www.ushmm.org/online/archival-guide/.
