REIGN OF SOVEREIGN EMPRESS ANNA IOANNOVNA
1740 yr.
22. -- July 11. The Highest resolution on the Senate’s report to the Cabinet. –
On the expulsion of Jews living in Malorossia.
Report. In 739, July 14, to the Cabinet of Her Imperial Majesty from the Senate, there was a
submission stating that, based on a decree sent from the Senate to Malaya Russia to the Military
General Chancellery, it was ordered that all living in Malaya
16
Russia Jews of male and female sex, by force of this decree, which took place in the Supreme Secret
Council in the year of 1727 *), ought to be sent abroad and henceforth they shall not be allowed to
enter Russia under any pretense (except permission was given to enter for the trading-fairs for
merchant's trade, according to the orders sent from the Supreme Secret Council to Hetman Apostle in
1728 **). Upon that decree, the General Military Chancellery reported to the Senate, that if the Jews
from Malaya Russia had to be sent abroad during the military situation with the Turks at that time, and
those Jews could have been aware of the local whereabouts, so through their deportation could have
occurred some espionage. Based on that report, which the Senate submitted to the Cabinet of Her
Imperial Majesty, and according to the resolution of the Cabinet, dated the 18th of August of that same
year ***) it was ordered to wait with the expulsion of the Jews until the end of the Turkish War, and
meanwhile the Malorossian Chancellery was ordered to watch closely and strictly forbid anyone in the
whole of the Malorossia (Little Russia) to shelter or hire the Jews, or keep them in their taverns, nor
give them anything for rent; about which, for the fulfillment of this resolution, the decree from the
Senate was sent to the Military General Chancellery. And since between the Russian Empire and the
Ottoman Porte peace is indeed already established: for the sake of the above-mentioned resolution of
the Cabinet of Her Imperial Majesty, should the living in Malaya Russia Jews be sent abroad (?) – for
this the Senate requires a definition (clarification) from the Cabinet of Her Imperial Majesty. And on
whose lands the Jews live, and how many under whom – this information is in the appositional register.
