Michael
Cherney Foundation Publishes Second Book Of Collected Works
Of Jabotinsky
By
Herb Brandon Jerusalem ---- February 8, 2010…… The second book of the second volume of the full nine-volume Collected Works by Vladimir (Zeev) Jabotinsky has been published. The publication, sponsored by the Michael Cherney (Mikhail Chernoy) Foundation, is a joint project of the Jabotinsky Institute in Israel and the Kovcheg (“The Ark”) Culture and Education Center in Moscow. Book Two, of the second volume includes, in chronological sequence, all the known drafts of Jabotinsky’s media publications, short stories, poetry, plays, translations and private correspondence from the year 1902. In his foreword, Leonid Katsis writes:“Unlike Jabotinsky fiction, this is the first time that Jabotinsky nonfiction is being published in a volume so comprehensive as to really give us a full view of it," says Katsis. "The editors of Jabotinsky’s most representative Collected Works that came out in Hebrew in 1947-58 did not set out to cover the Russian period of the leader of Revisionist Zionism, to say nothing of translating all the Altalena texts into Hebrew. At that time one could not really say that Jabotinsky’s views were too popular, either in the newly formed State of Israel or in the rest of the Jewish world, whose links to Russia were rather tenuous; to say nothing of the USSR. The situation has changed drastically since, yet up to date no one has ever collected Jabotinsky’s full works even in Russian.” Thirty years ago Itzhak Oren (Nadel) wrote in his foreword to a collection of Jabotinsky’s works: “The world has changed. Hundreds of great books, interesting at their own time, have been forgotten. Yet the ideas, the anger, the sarcasm, are alive in short pieces written on the issues of the day and have now leaped over an era. Today’s Moscow Jews, the young Jabotinsky sounds as ardent and convincing as he did to their Odessa great-grandfathers.” In the thirty years that have passed, not a single word in this statement has lost its validity. Following his repatriation to Israel, Michael Cherney has maintained commercial interests in Russia and post-Soviet states, while developing new business contacts between Russia, Europe, Israel, and the US. In Israel, Michael Cherney spends much effort on charity and humanitarian projects that reinforce cooperation between Israel and Russia in fighting terrorism. Prior to 2001, Cherney was engaged in charity work in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia, Bulgaria, the US - wherever he did business. He made valuable contributions into Jewish philanthropy in Russia. Following the Dolphinarium terrorist tragedy, the Cherney Fund became the helping hand for all its victims. In a misfortune like this, emigres from the former Soviet countries are even worse off than those born in Israel: they don't have a support system or savings. The Michael Cherney Foundation renders help mostly to the new arrivals, victims of catastrophes and terrorist acts that continue to bleed Israel, as well as to the low-income victims of terror in other countries. Another equally important task assumed by the Cherney Foundation is the media effort in war on terror. Shortly after the Dolphinarium attack, the Foundation published a book called Dolphinarium: Terror Targets the Young. The Michael Cherney Foundation has established grants for students from the former Soviet Union in all major Israel universities with an annual endowment of 1 million shekels. Mr. Cherney and his family live in a suburb of Tel Aviv, Israel.
