This is an important primary document describing the status of Russian Jewry just prior to the Revolutionary period, and placing it in its proper historical perspective. As a defender of Russian Jews, Leskov deserves recognition; his voice is that of religious tolerance, something rare in the perspective of human history. The book deserves to be read by scholars and laymen alike. It is a worthy monument to a magnificent writer and, as Professor Shefski states, "a concrete example of the ultimate goodness and generosity of mankind."
