At the beginning of the twentieth century, Yiddish was widely viewed as a corrupt form of German that Jews had to abandon if they hoped to engage in intellectual, cultural, or political work. Yet, by 1917 it was the dominant language of the Russian Jewish press. This title investigates how this change in status occurred.
