In recent decades of the existence of the Russian Empire, one of the most painful public issues was the question of national rights. The large Jewish population of Russia was legally discriminated. In the Western provinces, it faced the national requirements of neighbors - Poles, Ukrainians, Lithuanians and others, resettled more compactly than Jews, ethnic groups. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the formation and political activity of the Jews grew, they possessed conscious national, religious and cultural identity and required not only civil, but also national equality. The ideological form of the aspirations of the Jewish population of Russia was given by historian Semen Dubnov (1860–1941), who developed the concept of national non -tieritorial autonomy. From the point of view of Dubnov, the unity of the nation ensures not so much its own state as the voluntary commitment to the general system of cultural values and collective historical memory. The requirement of the national non -tieritorial autonomy by 1917 was included in the programs of all Jewish parties and organizations of Russia.
