More on the history time period and region \"The Pale of Settlement\"
The Pale of Settlement, established from 1791 to 1917 within the Russian Empire, permitted Jewish residency while restricting their movements and professions, primarily in western regions. Life within the Pale was economically challenging, leading to significant emigration, although it fostered vibrant Jewish cultural and intellectual communities. Initially aimed at facilitating colonization, the Pale expanded due to the annexation of Polish-Lithuanian territory, eventually housing over five million Jews at its peak. Despite periodic relaxations under rulers like Alexander II, the Pale remained a site of discrimination and violence. (From:Wikipedia
