	JewishEncyclopedia.com - DERZHAVIN, GAVRIIL ROMANOVICH:
		Derzhavin's scruples combined with the dissensions among the Jews prejudiced the poet against them; and notwithstanding the evident abuse by Zorich of his prerogative, and in spite of the undoubted truth of many accusations against Zorich, Derzhavin reported in his favor, and he was acquitted.
		He was commissioned at the same time to study the economic condition of the Jews in that region, and to present a report on the subject, with suggestions as to the measures to be taken in order to eliminate the supposed harmful influence exerted by their "unscrupulous dealings" on the lower classes of the population.
		Derzhavin's plan called for the creation of a protectorate over the Jews; the protector to advise the czar personally as to the best measures to be taken for the moral uplifting of the Jew, so that he might in time be considered worthy to become a subject.

	Senator Derzhavin and the Jews - Rabbi Schneur Zalman
		Gavrila (Gabriel) Romanovitch Derzhavin was born in 1743, in a village near the city of Kazan.
		Dovber Moshe told the Rabbi that he had visited Derzhavin and appealed to him to be fair and impartial in his report, but that Derzhavin boasted that he would put the Jews in their place, and that they had better get their wandering staffs and prepare to move.
		Derzhavin blamed the famine on the Jews, and recommended that the Jews be expelled from the rural areas, should not be permitted to rent inns, make and sell spirits, and other measures restricting the Jews.
