Abstract

The article deals with the loans provided by Jewish bankers to Russia in the 1890s, specifically the Rothschild-Bleichröder deal. But when the very day the deal was reported, it was learned that mass expulsions of Jews from Moscow, Russia had been decreed, which resulted to the decision of the Rothschilds to withdrew the deal. It is noted that the Jewish press insisted that Jewish financiers should be wary in participating in these kind of loans with any idea that they are going to hold Russia to any promise of better treatment for the Jews.
