What was the “Bundism”: on the Bundist national policy and activities
I research the development of Bundist national policy, especially in the period between the two revolutions in Russian, as a basis for its implementation in interwar Poland. I intend to clarify how the Bund differentiated its national policy from that of other socialist/non-socialist Jewish groups and how the Bundists evaluated Jewish nation and its (Yiddish) culture. A destination of this study is to explain why the Jewish workers and intellectuals of that time chose the Bundism as their political activity; what made the Bundists Bundists.
