Semion Goldin is Senior Research Fellow at the Leonid Nevzlin Research Center for Russian and East European Jewry, Israel.

“Semion Goldin’s work on the Russian Jewish community and the imperial army during WWI is a fascinating foray into the Russian Jewry’s impossible conundrum between ‘libel, persecution, and reaction’ and into its traumatic, violent, chaotic, and complex encounter with the dark side of modernity. This work will surely remain the definitive treatment of the subject for some time to come.” (Andrei Cusco, EuropeNow, europenowjournal.org, May 1, 2023)
