About this Event
The period between Stalin’s death and the Six-Day War played a secondary role in Soviet Jewish studies. The years of Khrushchev’s “Thaw” seemed uneventful compared with the prior repressive campaigns (the “Doctors’ Plot,” anti-“cosmopolitanism,” and liquidation of the Yiddish cultural milieu) by the end of Stalin’s rule and the later emigration drive. In reality, the fourteen years saw many important developments in Soviet Jewish life. Thus, thousands of surviving gulag inmates could return to their families, former Polish citizens had a chance to repatriate, and the authorities sponsored some revival of Jewish culture. Meanwhile, the present and future of Soviet Jews appeared on the agenda of international politics.
