Some Sociological Aspects of the Russian Zionist Movement at its Inception.

The article focuses on the factors and the degree of support to the Russian Zionist Movement from 1901 to 1903 including the social, economic and religious factors. Accordingly, the Russian Zionist Movement was the main component of the Zionist Federation for it has the largest membership of the whole Zionist Movement and constitutes a larger contribution than the other parallel movements. However, the movement lacks the needed adequate support due to the social, economic and religious factors that differently recognized various groups in Russian Jewry. In this regard, a quasi-model of the distribution within the country where Zionist Leagues were formed were constructed to know the groups in the Jewish society that supported the movement.
