Cabaret Jews

Tselovalnik usually referred to the innkeeper in the Kabak: the Tsar's tavern. Often these innkeepers were Jews. The profits earned by the consumption of vodka by peasants was very valuable to the Tsarist government (Mikhail Saltykov, in "Tchinovnicks: Sketches of Provincial Life", chapter "Times of Yore") that government revenue from otkupshchik or откупщик (revenue from vodka tax-farmers exceeds ⅔ of all governmental revenue)! The Tsarist government held a dim view of the peasants, preferring Jews as tselovalniki. The Tsar preferred Jewish tselovalniki because the Jews were at the mercy of the Tsar: a small minority. A Jewish minority was dispensible, while the peasants were an essential majority. As the tselovalniki effectively collected taxes for the Tsar, the peasants viewed Jews as predatory, or at best, as predatory agents of the Tsar. The Kabak tselovalnik sold vodka to peasants to the point that the peasants even sold their clothes to buy more vodka, emerging from the Kabak literally naked. In this sense, some of the Jewish tselovalniki may have acted immorally, but as they acted as agents of the Tsar, they may have been compelled to act this way. As kabaki often also doubled as brothels, it can accurately be said that the Tsar acted as official pimp, the most powerful procurer in all of Russia. See: "Vodka Politics: Alcohol, Autocracy, and the Secret History of the Russian State", by Mark Schrad.

The tavern functioned as a store, bank, post-office, newspaper, place for elections and political meetings, weddings and receptions. See: "The Jewish Tavern-Keeper and his Tavern in Nineteenth Century Polish Literature", by Magdalena Opalski, p. 59

Most Kabak or inns had Jewish tseloval'nik, but people other than Jews served as tseloval'nik. Thus Pushkin writes in "Captain's Daughter", chapter II, about a Yaizky Kazak (Яицкии Казак) who is a tseloval'nik in a Postoyaly dvor (Постоялыи двор). A Postoyaly dvor is an inn, usually surrounded by walls, where travelers can eat and sleep if they choose, their horses fed and sheltered as well (Click to see). How much revenue Yaizky Kazak tseloval'niki contributed to the Tsar is not clear. Similarly, Issak Babel writes about Armenian innkeepers. Gypsy barmen served in Czárdas (old Hungarian for an inn) that existed in Wallachia and Moldava (Click to see). Karaite tavernkeepers also existed, See: "The Jewish Tavern-Keeper and his Tavern in Nineteenth Century Polish Literature", by Magdalena Opalski, p. 37

"Jewish tavernkeeping in Eastern Europe goes back to the early modern Jewish-noble symbiosis in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, wherein Jews helped to manage nobles' estates by leasing aspects of the manor economy. An extremely profitable way to create domestic markets for Polish grain, the production and sale of alcoholic beverages developed into a major industry in Poland-Lithuania and its successor states, including imperial Russia. Jews entered this market through the arenda (lease holding) system, whereby they paid nobles for a variety of market concessions, from leasing toll and bridge taxes to leasing flour mills and taverns. Nobles leased almost exclusively to Jews, such that the term arrendator (lessee) came to connote "Jew" in local parlance. For centuries, Polish rulers and landowners had encouraged Jewish settlement to develop markets, and in that role, Jews brought goods to the countryside, lent money, and served as the noble landowners' managers and leaseholders."
"Confessions of the Shtetl: Converts from Judaism in Imperial Russia, 1817-1906", by Ellie R. Schainker, p. 88.

"Leyb, the tavernkeeper, 'thought himself master of the tavern, [but] rarely sat behind the counter; he had his own affairs, serious, important matters. He viewed the tavern with disdain, as a two-bit operation fit only for women.' Indeed, in Ansky's story it is Leyb's wife and daughter who manage the tavern and interact with its raucous patrons. Ansky himself, born in a shtetl and raised in Vitebsk, saw his mother run a tavern while his father was increasingly absent as he traveled on business."
ibid, p. 96, from "In the Tavern", by S. Ansky (Semen Akimovich), or Shloyme Rapoport

". . . Ansky's later sketch about a tavern was undoubtedly drawn from his own experiences growing up in a tavern. In an autobiographical mode, Ansky depicts a young Jewish female tavernkeeper named Chanka (his own mother was Chana) who, along with her grandmother Malka, runs the tavern. Contrary to Russian stereotypes of exploitative Jewish tavernkeepers, Ansky depicts Chanka as caring for her drunken clients and even offering local Slavic folk songs as antidotes to their socioeconomic despair."
ibid, p. 275 (footnote # 40)

Contracts were usually for a period of three years, during which time leaseholders were obliged to pay the rent at specific points. They sometimes also had to agree to list their children or wives as collateral in case these conditions were not met. Such instances were rare, but when they did occur it was exclusively children who were taken as collateral, sometimes being forced to convert to Catholicism.

Burghers, relying on their municipal privileges, treated Jews who produced and sold alcoholic beverages as hostile intruders depriving burghers of potential income. A conflict of this sort led to a pogrom in Leczyca in 1791.

Gentiles in Jewish Tavern Pillati

Note: Most Jews lived in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, the Ukraine, Byelorussia, Walachia, and Moldova. Enlightenment colonialization took place, in which Prussia, Austro-Hungary, and Russia seized Polish lands. In the First Polish partition (1791), the Second Polish partition (1794), and the Third Polish partition (1795), Russia suddenly found itself with a large Jewish population that inhabited what was formerly Polish lands. Catherine the Great required all Jews (with few exceptions) to live within the "Pale of Settlement" (Черта оседлости). The word "pale", as in pallisade, or boundary. Borders changed frequently, thus an area in the Pale of Settlement might be predominantly Russian Orthodox, or Catholic, etc. Thus Jews might be forcibly converted to the Russian Orthodox religion, or to Catholicism, etc. in the Wildfields (Ukraine, Ruthenia, Ruxlana or Руслана, etc.). To get an idea of how divided the peoples (Russian Orthodox, Catholic, Jewish), of the Ukraine were (are), read Taras Shevchenko's (Тарас Шевченко) poem "Haidamaky" (Гайдамаки). Consider the virulently anti-semitic Symon Petlura (Симон  Петлюра), and Anton Denikin (Антон  Деникин). Thus views of Jewish tselovalniki are not surprisingly anti-semitic.

Easter Perov
Return

Look closely at the above painting by Perov. Perov was a keen observer and wanted to tell the truth in his paintings. The Russian Orhodox priest looks drunk, because he is drunk. Perov is not being anti-Russian nor anti-religious, he is pointing out the facts.

"The Orthodox Church's multitude of holidays [holidays added as a means to increase sales of vodka for the state] presented further opportunities for the priest's undoing. During Easter, for instance, the village priest proceeded from house to house with his holy icons. At each peasant hut the distinguished guest was offered food and drink. Lest he offend the master of the house and ensure never receiving his help [pomoshch' 1] in the future, the priest dared not refuse the gift of vodka. 'By the time he has gone through the whole village even the most cautious, sturdiest soul hardly has the strength to perform his duty,' Bellyustin reported. 'A priest who is less cautious or whose constitution is weaker simply passes out. And what scandals do not occur when the priest is in such a condition!' "

"...As early as the 1630s Adam Olearius described inebriated priests who stumbled through the streets dispensing blessings in their underwear, having pawned their cloaks. 'Since such spectacles may be seen daily,' he claimed, 'none of the Russians are astonished by them.' Two and a half centuries later, Bellyustin painted a similar picture of the typical village priest as the ever-present, unwanted, and drunken guest who long ago surrendered his piety to drunkenness, bribery, and thievery. These pervasive, corrupting influences provide insight into the infamous Russian proverb: 'All steal except Christ and He would too, if his hands weren't nailed to the cross.' "

"In the tavern, the tavern keeper is dictator. He knows only one authority - the authority of the tax farmer; one law, that of the tax farmer; one goal, to rob the people, to rob and rob again, using any method available. In his tavern one can find undermeasuring, short change, theft of clothes of drunkards, pick-pockets, water served with a whiff of vodka in it and a mixture of something spicy to deceive the taste, side dishes designed to sharpen the thirst, together with all the various temptations to which animal life is subject, music, women, and gatherings of various kinds, of thieves and robbers, slanderers, and planners of criminal deeds. And from all this, gathered together by the art of the tavernkeeper, a river of gold flows into the pockets of the tax farmers. On these dregs (podonki, or подонки) of Russian life are constructed immeasurable fortunes." 3

"The tavernkeeper was to maintain order in the tavern and on the street outside; to keep samples from each bucket of liquor as supplied by the agents who delivered them; to sell liquor according to the legal measures, 'and under no circumstances to measure them out himself, but to allow the customer to do so'; to prevent by all means possible undermeasuring, adulteration of drinks and official samples, or the practice of jogging the customer's arm while liquor was being poured (podtolchek, or подтолчек); never to sell drinks on credit or in return for pledges 'which is most strictly forbidden'; to avoid all relations of friendship with tax farm agents, and therefore never to offer them any hospitality, or to lend them money'; to refrain 'as much as possible, from drinking, and so on." 4

"Whether under direct instructions or not, most (tavernkeepers) employed the whole gamut of tricks from the publican's traditional repertoire: false measures were used, money was loaned usuriously in taverns, and drinks were adulterated, usually with water. As we have seen, this last device was particularly important. Undermeasuring was equally important, and could account, by some estimates, for another 10 per cent of the trade's real turnover. It was made necessary by careful government control on the size of vodka containers. Many customers were so used to undermeasuring that when they received a full measure of vodka, they would pour some into a special container kept by the barman, as a matter of courtesy." 5

"Unable to sell the vast amounts of vodka distilled here and imported from the Baltic provinces and the Ukraine for cash, the lessees of taverns [korchmy] have introduced a system of trade which is extremely destructive for the local population. They sell on credit, and in autumn they are paid back in cattle, grain, hay, and other products, not at commercial prices, but at values fixed by the traders, who miss no opportunity to make huge profits. Quite often a peasant will pay 1½ puds of flax for a bucket of vodka, allowing it to be weighed, usually when not in a sober condition, on the trader's scales ... Often the tavernkeepers travel, under cover of autumn nights, around the local villages with casks to gather the fruits of their work. In such cases, they get the householders, their workers and their women and even children drunk, and then make themselves masters of the house. And as, within 10 square versts one can find more than ten taverns, not counting the cellars where liquor is also for sale, it is clear why nothing can be done by the landlords to limit drunkenness." 6

"Whenever anyone pinched anything they would bring it to Ivanych [Jewish tavernkeeper]. Ivanych would take it without fear, and sometimes egged them on. Why are you complaining, he would say. Can't you peek into Karp's or Sidor's room? Take something, don't be afraid. There'll be vodka for you, and no one will ever raid my tavern. They'd need a deputy from the office, and while they're getting one I will hide it or burn it in the stove. Near the village in which his tavern stood there was a factory. Ivanych went to the clerk [prikazchik, or приказчик]. 'Each week,' he says, 'you have to hand out small change to your workers [masterovii, or мастеровые], which is bothersome to you, so why not pay in kind. This is what to do: On Saturday, send me a list of the amount owing to each worker, and I will give them vodka, charging 3 k. a ruble commission, which I will split with you 50:50. Then, each week, you can pay me in larger amounts.' The clerk agreed. A worker comes into his tavern. He has no money, but would dearly like a drink. Ivanych allows him a drink on credit, but at 35 k. instead of 30 k. a half-shtof. The worker agrees. Then, as the worker gets drunk, Ivyanch chalks up 3 half-shtofs instead of 2. In this way, the workers not only did not get their pay; but they also got permanently in debt to Ivanych, and he made, over and above all expenses, 1,500 rubles in six months." 7

Moisei Maimon
Return

On the Iberian peninsula (Portugal and Spain) during the 15th and 16th century, Jews were compelled to convert to Catholicism. Such "New Christians" were called "marranos" and had few options: conversion, extermination, and occasionally expulsion. Jews were not the only peoples that suffered religious discrimination. Andalusian Moslems were also compelled during the 15th and 16th century, and also had the same options. When these "New Christians" converted, they were called "moriscos". However. Jewish "marranos" or Jews compelled to religious conversion also existed in Slavic countries such as Russia during the 19th century. These "marranos" were called "marrany" (Марраны). "Marranos" or "New Christians" often had to hide their identities in Iberia during the 15th and 16th century, especially as this was the time of the "Holy Inquisition" when being considered a crypto Jew or hidden Jew could result in death. Thus the title of "marranos" in the above painting is correct, as Jews were often faced with pogroms and extortionate state officials in Russia. One way Jewish women might "legally" exit the ghetto created by enlightened Catherine the Great's Pale of Settlement, was by using a "Yellow Ticket".

To avoid antisemitic restrictions placed upon taverns leased by Jews such as those listed in the above table (both in cities as well as in the countryside), Jewish tavernkeepers paid Christians to act as "fronts". Ibid, p. 176.


A striking fact emerges when one visits the Russian cultural area: many "Russian" words phrases, and cultural aspects are shared by other peoples such as Jews and Poles. One is prompted by curiousity to explain this, especially as so much destructive history divides the peoples that live in these areas (pogroms directed against ALL these peoples). Religions differ: Poles (Catholic), Jews, and Russians (Russian Orthodox), yet until very recently most of the peoples living in these areas were pagan (indeed, all three of these peoples "double" or mix paganism with their religions at this time). The typical peasant had religious icons in their huts but a few centuries earlier, these icons were pagan figurines.

As a first explanation, it is easy to conclude that Jews began to assimilate, thus words, ideas, foods, etc. began to become added to the "Yiddish" spoken by Jews. However, an interesting observation shows that some of these words are not Russian or Yiddish, but are German. Indeed, some of these words are Hebrew! Jews speak Hebrew, but Russians don't. How did these Russians start to speak Hebrew? Put simply, the languages spoken in the Russian area have an unexplained origin. Considering the religious syncretism, what is going on here?

As an example of Jewish paganism, the ceremony of sacrificing a fowl during the High Holidays as a scapegoat for man's sins. Known in Hebrew as kappārōt and in Yiddish as kapores survived in northern Europe, but did not survive in the Iberian Peninsula. A Jew would swing a live cock three times over his head.

Hens and roosters play a major role in pre-Christian and Christian Slavic and German cultures. Up to the end of the 19th century Slaves were daubing a rooster's blood on four corners of a dwelling, in an attempt to soften the anger of the house god, the cock was also a typical offering among the Balkan Slaves, when building a home, well or bridge. The Eastern Slavic practice of sacrificing a cock to cure sick animals involved walking the animal around in a circle three times. Pre-Christian German Slaves regarded the cock as the personal animal of their god Svantevit. The worship of Svantevit could have been brought south by Slaves sold into slavery and acquired by Jewish households. It has been noted that a black rooster or hen was a pagan Slave offering for spirits on the occasion of a birth, marriage or funeral. Germans, Slaves and Sorbs slaughter cocks and refer to the cock as "honač" (Upper Sorbian), "honak" (Lower Sorbian), and "hahn" (German). Many other examples are provided.

"The Ashkenazic Jews: A Slavo-Turkic People in Search of a Jewish Identity", by Paul Wexler. Some salient observations drawn from this book, pp. 171-172.

An interesting view that sheds light on these questions has been expressed in "The Ashkenazic Jews: A Slavo-Turkic People in Search of a Jewish Identity", by Paul Wexler. Some salient observations drawn from this book, pp. 241-246.

  1. The origional Ashkenazic Jews in German lands are not of French and Italian Jewish origin, but are descended primarily from non-Jewish, Slavic and Turkic (Khazar) converts (mostly pagan) of Balkan origin that migrated to Germano-Sorbian lands.
  2. Yiddish is not a variant of High German, but is a form of Slavic Sorbian. Slavic lexicon adopted, but Jewish Germano-Sorb grammar and phonology maintained. Re-lexification from Judeo-Balkan Slavic, then a second re-lexification to Judeo-Sorbian followed by a third re-lexification to High German to yield Yiddish.
  3. The Jewish migration to northern Europe resulted in an assimilation of the local Slavic language which evolved into a Judeo-Sorbian, with a high percentage of a High German lexicon in replacement of a Slavic lexicon (from Greek, Romance, Slavic and Arabic). Much of the Ashkenazic religion, folk practices and ethnic practices were of Slavic origins. Only Jews were speakers of the three Balkan languages: Slavic, Romance, Greek.
  4. Assimilation of Pagans and Christians into Judeo-Sorbian/Yiddish communities resulted in:
    1. Massive use of Hebraisms in Yiddish.
    2. Non-Hebrew components were Hebraized or replaced by similar-sounding Hebraisms.
    3. New "Hebraisms" coined by Yiddish speakers to replace Yiddish and written Hebrew.

The situation in Russia or the Ukraine as the Ukraine became increasingly associated with Russia c. 1795 (Third Polish partition) was different than the situation in Poland. The Poland was less centralized. To get an idea of the situation in Poland click here.
