Abstract. Until 1843, prostitution in the Russian Empire was completely illegal. But were Jewish brothel keepers and prostitutes, in the eyes of both the Jewish community and non-Jewish neighbors, despised marginals or professionals who occupied a specific economic stratum?
While Jews who “made indecency into a trade” were tolerated by local officials and the police, the higher authorities periodically demonstrated a readiness to control and persecute deviant sexuality, sometimes even ordering kahals to supervise the morality of the Jews.
Jewish brothel keepers and prostitutes were part of multinational and multicultural criminal space. They were distinguished by a considerable degree of acculturation and adaptation to their non-Jewish environment. However, Jewish sexual workers and pimps were not only rejected by “pious” Jews, but were also incorporated into communal life. The fate of a Jew accused of keeping a brothel could become a subject of dispute within the community, which reveal conflicts related to denunciation, military conscription, and economic competition.
