Well, just how many more of them would have been removed overseas relative to real life? Because in real life, something like 1/3 of all Russian Jewry had already emigrated by 1914.

Rob, I actually saw that post of yours, which is what helped inspire me to make my own post here. :) If Ukraine and Belarus will be removed from the Pale of Settlement, and an alt-Hitler-style figure still eventually comes to power in Germany in this TL and takes over most of Europe, then...

FWIW, I think that it would be most crucial of all to evacuate the Jews who lived in the territories that the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth still controlled between 1793 and 1795 en masse to Siberia: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/41/Rzeczpospolita_Rozbiory_2.png The...

Everything here makes sense so far. Yep, makes sense. Makes sense. That said, though, I would still expect a lot of Siberian Russian Jews to emigrate eventually, but the logistics of it is going to be harder, in terms of actually getting access to railroads and then using these railroads to...

You could see a simple west-east migration of Jews, with the eastern Pale Jews being deported last to Siberia. This would serve two purposes, then: To accelerate the urbanization of Russian peasants (though illiteracy would be a huge problem that would need to be rapidly dealt with) while at...

Here is a map of the Polish percentage in various parts of the Russian Empire according to a World War I census by the German occupiers: If this situation didn't change much since the 1830s, then this map could indicate which territories should get first priority in having their Jews...

Expelling Jews from Poland en masse so that Russians could resettle in their homes and on their properties en masse and thus significantly Russify Poland actually does sound rather brilliant. This would make any future Polish secession from Russia harder to do, albeit not completely impossible...

BTW, which Russian Jews do you think will get deported to Siberia first? I think that the ones further to the east, such as in eastern Ukraine and Belarus, will get deported first since they're the geographically closest ones to Siberia...

So, by the time of Nicholas I's death in December 1855, this project should be more-or-less completed?

What if Russian Tsar Nicholas I decides to "solve" Russia's "Jewish problem" by forcibly relocating all Russian Jews to Siberia in or around 1835? Let's say that he'll believe that he'll be doing Polish, Ukrainian, and Belarusian peasants and townspeople a favor by doing this by getting rid of...
