| | The Russian Empire, 1855 to 1900 |
 | | An association was made between the assassins of Alexander II and "the Jewish plague," and the assassination of Alexander II was followed by a string of pogroms against the Jews, by attacks on Jewish communities, the property of Jews, including some killing of Jews. | | | To many Russian peasants, and many who had migrated to the cities, the Jews were extortionists - the same bleeding the peasants with high interest rates with which some German peasants had characterized Jews. | | | Many Jews had been invited to settle in Poland before the Russians had taken control of Polish lands, and now many from Russia-controlled Poland and from western Russia would be among those "Eastern Europeans" who migrated to the United States. |

| | Russian leaders have quickly seized on the notion of a liberal empire to refashion their own foreign policy agenda. | | | The current debate on an American empire largely centers on the question of whether postmodern imperialism is capable of being democratic in nature. | | | He has been quick to point out that the ideology of American empire — in particular, as it is defined in the US national security doctrine — does not envisage any rival center of power in Central Eurasia which would be capable of defying American supremacy. |

| | According to one historical Russian writer, Czar said that the Russian Jewish question would be solved ultimately by the action of the May Laws "as these would force 1/3 of the Jews to emigrate; 1/3 more would become converted to the Orthodox Church; while the other 1/3 would perish of hunger". | | | But he was assassinated in 1 March 1881 and the Jews became the nation's scapegoat. | | | These laws has b> limited settlement of the Jews, sale of property to and by Jews, changed their legal status and resulted in wholesale expulsion of the Jews from their former homes inside the Pale. |

| | Because foreigners and diaspora minorities were prominent among entrepreneurial and landowning elites, the campaign against them also became an explosive element in class and national tensions on the eve of the 1917 revolutions. | | | During the war, the imperial regime dropped its ambivalence about Russian nationalism and embraced unprecedented and radical policies that "nationalized" the economy, the land, and even the population. | | | It swept up Russian subjects of German, Jewish, and Muslim backgrounds and drove roughly a million civilians from one part of the empire to another, resulting in one of the largest cases of forced migration in history to that time. |
