"The calamitous turning point of Israel's political culture occurred when the Zionist movement was taken over by the Russian political sect, particularly those from the Second Aliya (the 1904-1914 wave of Jewish immigration to #Palestine). Russian culture possesses noble aspects and achieved intellectual and cultural summits. But at the end of the 19th century and start of the 20th, Russia underwent dramatic political upheavals that engendered a brutal political culture that scorned tolerance and enlightenment."
