Perez Smolenskin , c.1842-1885, Russian novelist and essayist who wrote in Hebrew. He settled in Vienna and founded the Hebrew monthly journal Ha-Shahar, which he edited until his death. His articles favored increased contact with the West. After the Russian pogroms of 1880-81, however, he became a champion of Zionism . His best-known novel is probably Am 'Olam (1873).
