1st edition. Original printed paper wrappers, 8vo, 22 pages, 23 cm. In French. Title translates as, "The War, The Russian Revolution, and Zionism." "publie par le Bureau d'organisation sioniste a` Copenhague 1917." The Petrograd Conference was the "seventh national conference of the Russian Zionists and the first after the February 1917 Revolution. It opened on June 6, 1917. Five hundred and fifty-two delegates, representing 140,000 shekel holders from 680 cities and towns, took part in the conference. In the new Russia, the conference demonstrated the growing power of Zionism among Jewry and defined the Russian Zionists' attitude toward the problems of the World Zionist movement and the upbuilding of Erez Israel. It discussed the specific problems of the Russian Jews under the democratic regime with the hope of expanding the movement, which up to that time had acted mainly illegally. Jehiel Tschlenow [E.W. Tschlenow, this imprint's author] and Menahem Ussishkin were elected as presidents of the conference. In his programmatic address, Tschlenow said that the main task of the conference was to lay the foundations for Jewish national autonomy in Russia, as well as to emphasize the Jewish people's aspiration to return to Erez Israel. Ussishkin spoke of the need to immediately mobilize Jewish capital for settlement work, especially for the purchase of land, and to train pioneer workers. This seven-day conference was the last free countrywide expression of the Russian Zionist movement before the October Revolution of the same year became the starting point of its persecution and liquidation" (Arie Rafaeli-Zenziper in EJ). Tschlenow opens his speech with great hope and excitement at the recent revolution, welcoming the attendees "to this first meeting in free Russia, you who come to publicly proclaim the hope of our people yearning for liberty and rebirth, and who come to discuss our future work. Nowhere else, it seems to me, could we find, at present, such a resounding echo as in this city, where, barely three months ago, the heavy links of the chain that had bound the life of the immense Empire were broken. For about a century, since the glorious advent of the Decembrists, the invisible preliminary work had been underway.How much innocent blood was shed! In this blood, we are proud to note-there is also some of our own, Jewish blood. Well then, in this solemn moment, let us recall the memory of those who did not have the joy of greeting the present hour, this hour that makes up for all sorrows. Only three weeks have passed since Russia won its freedom and the Provisional Government, in cooperation with the Soldiers' and Workers' Council, washed away the stain that had defiled Russia for centuries. I am referring to the disgrace known as "the deprivation of the rights of the Jewish people." It seemed that this stain had become one with the very flesh of the Russian people and that only blood could remove it. Well, no. The great purifying torrent of the Revolution washed away the filth in a single stroke, irrevocably and without suffering. The sorrowful history of our people knows no other example of the destruction of such a vast ghetto, nor of a liberation established with such simplicity, on the one hand, and accepted with such dignity, on the other. We enthusiastically salute the Provisional Government and beg it to believe in our support and devotion to the heroic work of freedom and greatness for Russia that it has undertaken. On March 21st, the weight of a burden under which Russian Judaism had been collapsing was lifted. Our hands, so long chained, were freed. The immensity of space unfolded before our minds, before our eyes, still unaccustomed to such splendor. It is precisely at this moment that we, the Russian branch of the Jewish people, will be able, thanks to our accumulated strength and energy, to tackle the national edifice, the work of addressing the great national problems." He concludes: ".here are the walls of the immense ghetto that have just crumbled. And soon the other ghettos will follow, too. Principles of a new life, springing from the global struggle, carry within them the realization of the most beautiful, the most sacred of dreams, which has always shone on the painful path of our wandering people. We, gentlemen, aspire to our place in the sun, not only to warm ourselves better, but also for other, more generous reasons. We are certain that when our people live a normal life on their own soil, their national genius will fully unfold; we are certain that then the era will be reborn when they created not only for themselves but also for humanity, the era when they produced eternal books and proclaimed eternal truths. A long, sunlit road stretches before us. We live by this faith. It is this faith that inspires us. It is with this faith that we will win!" Yefim Vladimirovich Tschlenow (1863-1918) was a "Zionist leader. Born in Kremenchug, Ukraine, into a well-todo hasidic family, Tschlenow studied medicine in Moscow where his family had settled in 1876. He graduated as a physician in 1888 and became a well-known practitioner. The pogroms of 1881 turned Tschlenow from a sympathizer with the revolutionary populists (Narodniki) into a Jewish nationalist. In 1883 he became active in the Moscow Hibbat Zion group, Benei Zion (to which Menaem Ussishkin, Jacob Mazeh, and Abraham Idelson belonged). After some hesitation, he joined Herzl 's Zionist Organization and attended Zionist Congresses. Tschlenow presided at the all-Russian Zionist Conference in Minsk in 1902. During the Uganda controversy at the Sixth Zionist Congress (1903), Tschlenow left the hall after the vote in favor of Herzl's proposal and 128 other opposition delegates followed him. He published a series of articles in the Zionist press against the Uganda scheme entitled 'Zion and Africa.' At the Helsingfors Conference (1906), he was an articulate promoter of the idea that the political goal of Zionism must be.…

Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Manuscript periodical in four parts, numbered 3, 4, 11, and 13. Staple-bound heavy cardstock wraps, brightly illustrated in pen-and-ink and watercolor; four volumes; 8vo (230 x 180 mm); pp. 136, illustrated throughout with pen-and-ink and watercolour drawings signed "S. Sh." or "S. Sheff," Russia, 1929. Covers a little scuffed along spine and edges, otherwise fine -- bold and bright. A compilation of various accounts relating to the Russian Navy and Air Force in the decade following the Revolution, recorded in tidy penmanship, and with quick watercolors painted direct in text, plus nicely accomplished pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations tipped-on (showing landscapes, sea-scapes, portraits, and air and sea vessels). The accounts report the travails of various ships, including the "Prome," "Paris Commune," "Frunze," the ice-breakers "Ermak" and "Lenin," and others. One part is devoted mostly to the Turkish Fleet and action in the Black Sea during 1914-1917. The aeronautic sections discuss Zeppelin's dirigible, and the British R-101. The journal lists various contributors, including F. Raskol'nikov, L. Berman, A. Marti, P. Stasevich, and others. S. Sheff, who drew the illustrations, probably produced this journal, issuing it over the course of a number of years; the present issues are numbered 3, 4, 11 and 13, and belong to the fourth year of composition. A nice folk art example of "Grafica Russa" (Russian Graphics) of the early 20th century, combining graphic design, illustration, and calligraphic interest.…
