It has been an important factor in the cultural life of the Jews of Russia. It is believed that when the Russians took possession in 1789 of the Turkish fortress of Khadzhi-Bei—named Odessa in 1794—Jews were already living in the place.
According to the census of 1892, the Jews numbered about 112,000, or 32.9% of the total population.
