In the 17th release of Reva, authors from Russia, Ukraine, the USA, Canada, Israel and Argentina took part, I all bring them deep gratitude for the disinterested work and devotion to the cause. I also consider it a pleasant obligation to express gratitude to the doctors of G. G. G. Liberman for advice and support in work on this book. Like the previous (starting from the second) book, the collection was published with the funds of the editor -compiler, who considers the series of "Revas" as a modest attempt to emphasize the role of Jews - immigrants from Russia in the development of culture, science, social institutions and political life in the countries of the North and South America.
