Почему миллионы евреев покинули Российскую империю

Why did millions of Jews leave the Russian Empire? This story is often summarized in one word: pogroms. But behind this mass exodus lay an entire system: the Pale of Settlement, the May Laws, educational quotas, the poverty of the shtetls, closed professions, and fear for the future of their children. This episode examines step by step how the world's largest Jewish community faced the choice between life under constant restrictions and the uncertainty of an overseas existence. Why did America become the primary destination? Why did others go to Argentina, Canada, Great Britain, and Palestine? And what price did families pay for the chance to start anew? This is a story not only of emigration, but also of the slow displacement of people from the space that had been their home for centuries.
