Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to combine the dialectics of Simon Dubnow, one of the founders of the modern historiography of the Jewish nation, with the dialectics of the revolution by the Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev. It presents the way the community, and then the Jewish nation underwent from aversion through emancipation and assimilation to hatred that led to the Holocaust. The juxtaposition of the two dialectics allows us to look at the common history of Judaism and Christianity through the prism of a representative of the Jewish minority — Dubnow, and the Christian majority, one of the founders of the religious renaissance during Stalinism — Berdyaev.
