        A lot of the prominent members of terrorist paramilitaries that later formed tzahal were from r*ssian empire a lot of theorists as well, specifically from territory of modern Ukraine mostly due to “pale of settlement” policy of the empire. I think that’s what gp hinted at (don’t know what language they spoke predominantly, mostly yiddish I think).
