| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 俄羅斯研究所 === 85 === Jews have always occupied an uneasy place in Soviet society.
Onthe one hand, their high educational level, professional
standing andachievments have often placed them in positions of
prestige, respect and authority. But at the same time, those
very characteristics havearoused anti-Semitic feelings long
present in Soviet and Russian societyThis mistrust of Jews, also
stemming from their family ties abroad and connection with
Israel, hindered their acceptance into Soviet society. Soviet
Jewish emigration was a major international issue of the 1970''s,
and a little understood subject. Although focusing on
emigrationpolicy, this work is not a traditional policy study.
Many of the analysis has been obscured by a cultural blind spot.
The goal of this study has been to discuss the emigration by a
judicious examination of the generalhistoric and political
contexts,and to provide an over-all view of theissue. The
work opens with an introductory chapter of Russian Jewish
history and then, examines Soviet policies toward nationalities
andJews since 1917 in context of Jewish life in the USSR.
Chapter IIIfeatures the internal pressures and the next chapter
focuse on externalpressures toward Soviet authority on Jewish
emigration issue and describes the journey of Jewish emigrants
to Israel and the West, USAin particular.
