    2000.03.07. CEU 1 SPLIT IN TWO OR DOUBLED? Zsuzsa Hetényi The title is taken from an article by Iosif Bikerman published in 1910.1 There it is presented as a statement (‘not split in two but doubled’), but I shall consider it as a question because the history of Russian Jewish literature is not only a thing of the past: Russian Jewish authors began to ask questions that we continue to ask even today and that we cannot yet answer. My purpose in this paper is threefold: to discuss some theoretical questions, to give a short survey of the 80 years of Russian Jewish literature, and finally to analyse a short story by Lev Lunz. First, I would like to say something about how I arrived at this topic. In 1991 I published a book on Isaac Babel’s Red Cavalry,2 a collection of 35 stories based on the writer’s experiences with Budenny’s Cavalry in 1920. The main issue for me was what problems led Babel to this unusual form of self-expression. The most important layer of this cycle of stories is Babel’s duality, which is expressed in various ways. ‘I am an outsider, in long trousers, I don’t belong, I’m all alone’, he writes in his diary of 1920.3 Babel is ambivalent about his Jewishness – he belongs organically to his people and at the same time he finds them repellent. Sometimes he lies to his fellow Jews, hiding his Jewishness. When going to the synagogue, he is moved by the service but unable to follow it in his prayer book.

No part of this book may be reproduced in any form without written permission from the publisher, except for brief passages included in a review appearing in a newspaper or magazine. Manufactured in the United States of America. Design and Typography by Jos. Trautwein. TO ALBENA my wife, who had no small part in the making of this book be'a-havah rabbah FOREWORD MODERN or political Zionism began in 1897 when Theodor Herzl con- vened the First Zionist Congress and reached its culmination in 1948 when the State of Israel was born. In the half century of its career it rose from a parochial enterprise to a conspicuous place on the inter- national arena. History will be explored in vain for a national effort with roots imbedded in a remoter past or charged with more drama and world significance. Something of its uniqueness and grandeur will, the author hopes, flow out to the reader from the pages of this narrative. As a repository of events this book is not as inclusive as the author would have wished, nor does it make mention of all those who labored gallantly for the Zionist cause across the world and in Pal- estine. Within the compass allotted for this work, only the more significant events could be included, and the author can only crave forgiveness from the actors living and dead whose names have been omitted or whose roles have perhaps been understated.

    Saul Tchernichowsky and Vladislav Khodasevich

    1 2 3 jÖrg schulte 5 saul tchernichowsky and Vladislav Khodasevich A chapter in Philological cooperation 10 When saul tchernichowsky arrived in berlin in december 1922, he was forty seven years old and at the hight of his creative strength.1 Within two years he pub- lished the Book of Idylls (sefer ha-idilyot), the Book of Sonnets (Ma½beret son- 15 etot) and the volume New Songs (shirim ½adashim). the irst to announce tch- ernichowsky’s arrival in berlin was his fellow poet iakov Kagan who wrote a long article for the russian journal Razsvet on january 14, 1923. Kagan revealed to his readers what tchernichowsky had told him about his yet unpublished works. he also reported that tchernichowsky had studied medieval hebrew medical manu- 20 scripts in the state library of st Petersburg (then Petrograd) and had been forced to leave a considerable part of his work behind when he led to odessa.2 We still do not have any trace of these materials. We know that in the company of ã. n. bialik, tchernichowsky attended the farewell concert of the russian songwriter Alexander Vertinsky at the scala theatre (in berlin) on november 7, 1923, and 3 25 was deeply impressed by the poet who sang his own verses. We also know that in the same year, he lived next door to the actress Miriam bernstein-cohen who, like himself, held a degree in medicine and translated from russian into he- brew.4 in her memoirs, Miriam bernstein-cohen notes that she introduced tch- ernichowsky to Aharon (Armand), Kaminka who had been the irst to translate 5 6 30 a part of the Iliad into hebrew in 1882.

To my father, Anatolii Sviridenok, a devoted Academician for 50 years ABSTRACT This interdisciplinary dissertation explores the World of Art (Mir Iskusstva, 1899- 1904), The Golden Fleece (Zolotoe runo, 1906-1909) and Apollo (Apollon, 1909- 1917), three art periodicals that became symbols of the print revival and Europeanization in late Imperial Russia. Preoccupied with high quality art reproduction and graphic design, these journals were conceived and executed as art objects and examples of fine book craftsmanship, concerned with the physical form and appearance of the periodical as such. Their publication advanced Russian book art and stimulated the development of graphic design, giving it a status comparable to that of painting or sculpture.
