On the History of the Bund in Kiev

Born in Kiev, David Zaslavsky was expelled from Kiev University in 1901 for participating in student riots. He became a Bundist in 1903, and published in and edited socialist Yiddish and Russian publications, including the Arbeter shtime and Den’. Zaslavsky moved to Moscow in 1921 and, after avowing loyalty to the Soviet regime, wrote for Izvestiia and Pravda. He continued to write in Yiddish, publishing in Der emes and Eynikayt. He was spared the fate of most members of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, continued to write satire, and was active in the persecution of other Soviet Jewish writers.
