The issue of studying the history of Jewish migration during the late 19th – early 20th century is widely studied by foreign scholars. However, due to the political, communicative, and cultural barriers created in the Soviet era, most of the study results of foreign scholars until nowadays remained completely unknown to Ukrainian public, just as Ukrainian-language sources fell out of the subject field of the world historical science. The goal of the study is to analyze the Ukrainian pre-revolutionary press, to understand the place and role assigned to the phenomenon of Jewish intercontinental and international migration in the public discourse of that time, to disclose its reasons and consequences for recipient and donor countries. The objectives of the following study are: to analyze Ukrainian pre-revolutionary periodicals (newspapers: 'Rada', 'Utro', 'Kievlianin'), which uncovered the essence of Jewish intercontinental migrations in the late 19th – early 20th century; to assess their informative potential to find out the causes, nature, directions, quantitative indicators and social composition of migration waves; to outline the specifics of Ukrainian periodicals, differentiating them from official Russian imperial sources in covering the issue of Jewish migration; to characterize periodical materials, having defined their structure and peculiarities of creation; to compare the information of periodicals with the information of a complex of historiographical, descriptive and statistical, and archival sources; to find out the degree of certainty of pre-revolutionary periodical materials. Today, more and more studies are emerging on the history of Jewish intercontinental migration in the late 19th – early 20th century. The authors address previously unstudied issues of the role of women and sexual exploitation in the mentioned processes. An important source, along with archival materials, sources of personal origin, and memoirs of the migration movements participants, is the periodical press, on the pages of which, along with official and statistical information, you can find informative reports and personal impressions of the reporters directly from the scene. The pre-revolutionary press is an important information-rich source, which requires further thorough scientific study. ; У статті представлено аналіз дореволюційних періодичних видань, які висвітлювали проблеми єврейських міжконтинентальних міграцій періоду кінця ХІХ – початку ХХст.

In the late nineteenth – the first half of the twentieth century, Jewish intercontinental migrations became one of the central aspects of the political, economic, cultural and social development of the changing world. Taking into account the attention that migrants attracted to public discourse, foreign scholars researched them a lot. But the results of those researches in Ukraine are still unknown. Such are the main reasons for writing this paper. The purpose of the work is to make a historiographic analysis of intercontinental Jewish migrations in the late nineteenth – the first half of the twentieth century and to recognize their importance and role for the economic, political, cultural, and social development of certain regions that became the objects of intercontinental migrations. The main objectives of this research are: to study the dominant paradigms in historiography, which determined both historical and socio-scientific approaches to the research of migrations; to study the status of Jews in the late nineteenth – the first half of the twentieth century, depending on their location; to get acquainted with the main reason and result of Jewish intercontinental migrations and their periodization; and so on according to the works of foreign scholars. A great amount of literature is now available for those who are trying to write the history of Jewish international and intercontinental migrations over the last two hundred years in Israeli archival and library collections. Among them: libraries and databases of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the National Library of Israel, the Central Zionist Archives and the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People Jerusalem, which keep archives of hundreds of Jewish communities from all over the world. ; Наприкінці ХІХ – першій половині ХХст. єврейські міжконтинентальні міграції стали одним з центральних аспектів політичного, економічного, культурного та соціального розвитку світу, що змінювався. Стислий огляд зарубіжної літератури щодо єврейських міжнародних і міжконтинентальних міграцій упродовж ХІХ – першої половини ХХст. свідчить про те, що дана тема знаходиться ще далеко від свого вирішення і вимагає подальшої розробки та нових розвідок.
