UJE Timeline | From Antiquity to 1914

Ukrainian Jewish Encounter Timeline (Part 1):
From Antiquity to 1914

Ukrainians and Jews have lived as neighbours for centuries, creating and sharing enduring cultures that continue to inform their identities today. Ukrainian Jewish Encounter (UJE) is proud to present an integrated narrative of these two peoples in the belief that there is much to be gained by viewing their historical experience together, in all its complexity.

The first four chapters of this timeline highlight the experience of Jews on Ukrainian lands and their interaction with ethnic Ukrainians and others up to the partitions of Poland (1772–95). Two parallel eras follow, which treat the cultural and political transformations experienced by these two stateless peoples and their interactions with each other and others in the course of the "long nineteenth century" (1772–1914) — under Austrian Habsburg rule and in the Russian Empire.
