This dissertation examines the social, cultural, and institutional history of the Zionist movement in the Russian Empire from the founding of the World Zionist Organization (WZO) in 1897 to the First World War. The WZO was a global organization established with the aim of creating a Jewish polity in Palestine, but it was also a movement to persuade masses of Jews that they needed a homeland of their own, and to raise money for Zionist colonization and cultural projects in Palestine. Nowhere was this dimension of early Zionism more apparent than in the Russian Empire, which was home to the world's single largest Jewish population before 1914.Drawing on archival and published primary sources in Russian, Yiddish, Hebrew, and German, this study reconstructs Zionists' efforts to re-make ordinary Jews into nationalist Jews. Despite recruiting a small but consistent base of members and supporters, Russia's Zionists also encountered indifference and confusion from ordinary Jews, and active resistance from various segments of Tsarist Russia's diverse Jewish population, from orthodox rabbis and liberal integrationists to socialists. Although Zionists in imperial Russia spoke and acted in the name of the 'nation,' my study suggests that the movement represented the dilemmas and aspirations of a narrow stratum of Russian Jewry: relatively well-off merchants and traders, and groups of educated professionals and students.In the absence of experiencing the 'homeland' directly, Russia's Zionists engaged in a variety of practices that promoted and fostered a sense of long-distance attachment to what they regarded as a Jewish polity in-the-making in Ottoman Palestine. In so doing, they created what I call a culture of Palestine in the Pale, or an effort to reorient Russian-Jewish public culture with the nascent Zionist culture in Palestine, including through exhibiting and marketing products made in Palestine, and plans and projects for raising a generation of native Hebrew speakers in the Pale of Settlement. The study concludes with the onset of the Great War, when the imperial setting in which Russian Zionism emerged and developed over nearly two decades began to collapse.
