Resistance to Herzlian political Zionism in Russia displayed the familiar dichotomy between Jewish existence in the East and the West: a dichotomy between an almost intact community with living traditions and a Westernized, relatively emancipated Jewish culture that engaged in political action to substitute for its vanishing national identity.
