At the start of the 20th century, Yiddish was widely viewed as a corrupt form of German that Jews had to abandon if they hoped to engage in serious intellectual, cultural, or political work. Yet, by 1917 it was the dominant language of the Russian Jewish press. This work looks at how this change in status occurred.
