Résumé anglais Il'ia Serman, Debate in 1908 on the subject of Jewish literature in Russian language and the post-October decade. The most eminent Jewish writers took part in the debate that suddenly made its appearance in the Russian press in 1908: Kornei Chukovskii argued that the participation of Jews in Russian literature was undesirable because of their own bimillenary tradition and the impossibility to create a masterpiece in a foreign language. Vladimir Zhabotinskii, who had helped Chukovskii a few years before to penetrate into Russian journalism, supported him in this debate inciting Jews who wrote in Russian to deal not with questions of general character but with their own problems which were not solved in spite of the large participation of Jews in the revolution of 1905. This article borrows for historical observation purposes of the ideas discussed in 1908 the works of the novelist Iurii Tynianov (1920's-l930's) which illustrate indirectly his Jewish preoccupations anguish.
