History of the Jews in Russia and Poland. Volume II

CHAPTER XX
24/54

Some were arrested, others escaped.

One of the refugees, A.Lieberman, managed to reach London where he associated with the circle of Lavrov and the editors of the revolutionary journal _Vperyod_ ("Forwards").
In the following year, Lieberman founded in London the "League of Jewish Socialists" for the purpose of carrying on a propaganda among the Jewish masses.

It was a small society of students and workingmen which busied itself with arranging lectures and debates, and penning Hebrew appeals on the need of organizing the proletariat.

The society was soon dissolved, and Lieberman emigrated to Vienna, where, under the name of Freeman, he started in 1877 a socialistic magazine in Hebrew under the name _ha-Emet_ ("The Truth").

The first two issues of _ha-Emet_ were admitted into Russia, but the third was confiscated by the censor.
