84 The Jewish Labour Bund

The Bund, as the General Jewish Workers League was known for short, was a special type of Russian opposition. This organization was established in 1897 to serve the Jewish proletariat and – unlike the Zionists, who saw no future in Russia – aimed to achieve national and cultural autonomy in a socialist state. The Bund joined the Russian social-democratic movement but broke with it in 1903. This Zionist leaflet is about the rift. Ties were restored in 1906.
