neuroboros note re Poland/Russia and Jewish hist

Polish Jewish history

"1772: First of the three partitions of Poland begins.  The Jews of what had been Poland and Lithuania will end up in the Prussian, Austrian and/or Russian Empires.  Ironically, the bulk of them will end up living under Russian monarchs who had committed themselves to keeping Jews out of Russia.
