The first complete Jewish encyclopedia published in Eastern Europe. Although much based on materials contained in the American Jewish Encyclopedia, even today, this Russian edition remains a solid source of information on Eastern European Jewish history. See S. Brisman, A History and Guide to Judaic Encyclopedias (1987) pp. 108-109
