(1863-1941)
Russian Zionist leader. He was born in Dubrovno in the district of Mohilev in Belorussia; he moved to Moscow in 1871. He was a founder of the Zionist youth group Bilu in 1882, and of the Bene Zion society in 1884; in 1897 he attended the First Zionist Congress as a delegate. He published a pamphlet, Our Program, in 1903, advocating a policy of political activity and practical work in Palestine.
