The “Algemeyner Yidisher Arbayter Bund in Lite, Poyln un Rusland” (General Jewish Workers’ Union in Lithuania, Poland and Russia, or Bund for short) was a Marxist organization founded in 1897 with the aim of overthrowing the Czar and supporting the goals of the Jewish working masses. This subversive organization played an important role in both the failed 1905 revolution, and in Socialist political activity in Russia for many years thereafter. The Bund sought to unite all Jewish workers in the Russian Empire into a united Socialist party as well as to ally itself with the wider social democratic movement in Russia. The Russian Empire then included Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine and most of present-day Poland, areas where the majority of the world's Jews then lived. The Bund hoped to see the Jews achieve a legal minority status in Russia. It actively campaigned against anti-Semitism, defending Jewish civil and cultural rights and rejecting assimilation.
