Towards the Verification of Newly Discovered Pseudonyms of Vladimir (Zeev) Jabotinsky (the Case of “W. Wladimirov”)

For years ago, I have presented my study connected with a newly discovered pseudonym of Vladimir (Zeev) Jabotinsky “W. Wladimirov”.

That study was based on comparison between an article by Vladimiro Giabotinsky published in Italian in “Nuova Antologia” (Roma) and articles signed by “W. Wladimirov” in “Questions of the Social Life” from one side and subscription announcement in “Jewish Life” (St. Petersburg, 1904) pointed Jabotinsky as an author of Odessa magazine pointed above from an another.

Texts by “W. Wladimirov”, published in “Rus’” (1905-1908) had been attributed to Jabotinsky on the comparison between a part of them connected with the Bialystok pogrom and well known by Jabotinsky that discussed the same event.

One can see that such conclusion is very responsible because we can find near 10 books and 100 articles signed by “W. Wladimirov”. Now I can present such text. It is a memoir in Polish written by famous polish Zionist and further an important Israel politic figure A. Hartglas. In addition, A. Hartglas informed us about one more article where Jabotinsky published his reports from Bialystok. It is “A Country” (“Strana”) edited by famous Russian liberal activist M.M. Kovalevsky. Article, signed by two unknown pseudonyms, are parallel to reports from Bialystok written by “Z.” in “Chronicles of the Jewish Life". This confirms my conclusions that the texts signed "W. Wladimirov" belong to V. Jabotinsky.
