Life and politics

Larin was head of OZET, the Society for Settling Toiling Jews on the Land. His father, Shneur Zalman Lurie, was an engineer, Hebrew author and Zionist.[1] His adopted daughter was Anna Larina. Menshevik leader Lydia Dan acted as his godmother in the “incongruous baptism … undertaken in a tsarist prison so that [he] could have an Orthodox marriage entitling him to take his bride into exile”.[2]
