In his latest book, historian Avi Shlaim describes the three worlds that helped to shape him-Iraq, Israel, and Britain.

Jewish population of the USSR can be characterized by very high and growing level of tertiary education and high share of intellectual laborers. At the same time as it is evident from memoires Jews faced discrimination while applying to higher education as well as later in their professional trajectories. Many families had to adapt to this discrimination and to find ways to get access to higher education. Statistics is not enough to research this problem as level of education for Jews remained high despite discrimination. That is why we decide to explore memoires as a source for study of these discrimination barriers and recourses that helped people to cope with them. We chose cases from web site with Jewish memoires (http://berkovich-zametki.com) and in this paper we provide first results of analysis and hypothesis for further investigation. We found out that memoires are more likely to be written by those who managed to cope with difficulties and achieved success. Also we see that memoires are written in certain genres such as «rise of national consciousness» or «struggle for justice». Resources that helped to cope with discrimination mentioned in memoires are social and cultural capital (in terms in Bourdieu) and being ready to use them. We conclude that drawbacks of memoires for our study is that we cannot isolate barriers in access to education from further barriers in carrier pathways, and memoires are not sufficient to understand the resources which helped to cope with discrimination.

The interwar period is characterized by changes in social and economic structure of the Jewish population of Poland. The policy of state regulation caused sharp decline in living standards and the social status of broad masses of the Jewish population here. It could not but cause violations of processes of socialization. In general the number of the penal acts made by Jews in the territory of the Western Belarus during the interwar period was lower, than the number of the crimes committed by other citizens of Poland: the number of criminals in the Jewish environment was half less, than among representatives of other nationalities. It is explained by a number of factors. But in the Jewish environment did not do without crimes. Poles more often than Jews, judged for theft, a robbery, for murders and also for the crimes committed for political motives. Jews in turn are more often mentioned in the affairs connected with economic crimes: buying up and sale stolen, fake of money, trade in foreign currency, falsification of documents. Article is written on the basis of the analysis of materials of the State archive of the Grodno region. Here as the most widespread in the Jewish environment the following crimes are recorded: theft, speculation, illegal crossing of border and also murder.

Mikhail Josifovich Vygon (1924-2011) was a prominent writer, educator and public figure of the Jewish origin. He was born in Rudnya (Smolensk district, USSR) but spent his childhood in Mayfeld, a little Crimean hamlet near Jankoy. In the city of Yalta (Crimea) he has been working for the chief part of his life. A witness to bloody crimes against the Jewish nation during Great Patriotic War years, later he became a victim of the Soviet political persecution of Jews. His oeuvres remain mainly unpublished nowadays. In my paper, I study his literary inheritance, including his novel Jewish Happiness in Steppe near Jankoy published in Israel шт 2004, as well as a number of his unpublished works and memoirs, to conceptualise his views on the fate of Jewish people in Eurasia in the twentieth century. In his works, Mikhail Vygon gives detailed evidence of Nazi crimes against Jews in Mayfeld in 1942, where 1,500 Jews were murdered by Wehrmacht and SS forces with direct aid or remissness of Russian and Ukrainian neighbours. The majority of Mayfeld's population was Jewish in ethnic composition since 1920s, but many Russians and Ukrainians entered it as refugees from Ukraine during the Golodomor period in 1932-1933. Almost universal hatred to Crimean Jews prevented new Russian and Ukrainian inhabitants of Mayfeld and the rest of Jankoy region to give any aid even to one of these 1,500 slaughtered people. No child or aged person was spared, while the property of the executed Jews was expropriated mainly not by the Germans but by the Russian and Ukrainian citizens of Mayfeld. Vygon's testimony refutes a well-known Soviet myth about the absence of Jews at the Soviet battle fronts during the Great Patriotic War. Vygon's incomplete list of Mayfeld secondary school former students of the Jewish origin, that perished at the battle fronts as soldiers, includes: 1. Bogorad, Matvey, student of Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute. 2. Maria, Krichevskaya, a technical college student, a partisan who died in the Bryansk forests. 3. ...

"The 12th volume of the Archive opens with a study by Yefim Melamed (Kyiv) on the history of Stalinist secret services' surveillance of Jewish writers in the late 1930s and early 1950s, which resulted in repression and the physical destruction of many of them. In the appendix to his article, a unique material is published - reports of a secret agent who reported on the activities of the "fellow-writers". Grigory Khan (Moscow) makes another contribution to the study of the "endless" topic: the Jews and the Russian revolution. His research is dedicated to Aaron Zundelevich (1852-1923), a prominent figure in the narodnik movement, a member of the Executive Committee of the Narodnaya Volya organization (lit. People's Will). Roberta de Giorgi (Udine, Italy) devoted her extensive research to the history of translations and publication of Leo Tolstoy's Three Tales, which, at the request of Sholom Aleichem, gave him for publication in a collection in favor of the Jews who suffered from the pogrom in Chișinău. The story turned out to be extremely intricate and fascinating, and it adds additional touches to the biography of Leo Tolstoy, Sholom Aleichem, as well as to the history of literary life and publishing in the early twentieth century. Maria Gulakova (St. Petersburg) publishes a letter from the ethnographer and public figure Moses Krol (1862-1942) to Chaim Zhitlowsky. Information contained in a letter from Krol (then an émigré in Paris) dated March 26, 1936, sheds light on a little-known attempt to organize the resettlement of European Jews in the 1930s in Ecuador. The published materials are based on documents extracted from various archives in Moscow, Kyiv, New York, Jerusalem and Leeds."--
