So my history on Eastern Europe is quite lacking and this might be completely wrong but from what I recall Russia conquered a few countries like Poland and Ukraine and suddenly they had Jews living in Russian territory. Then Russia started doing Pogroms (The word Pogrom was invented in Russia). Knowing that, I would assume that German Jews at that time would not be very warm to Russian conquest but I really don’t have enough historical knowledge on the subject.
Didn’t German Jews support Germany in WWI as they saw it as less antisemitic than Russia?

Me neither. 😁
But yeah, that’s kind of my take on it too. Thanks for your reply. 🙂
