Jabotinsky (1880-1940) was a Russian Zionist, soldier and writer, and founded the Jewish Legion during WWI. He spoke Russian, Hebrew (he was a strong proponent of the Hebrew renaissance) , Yiddish, German, French and English, making him a very accessible and beloved speaker, especially in Eastern Europe. Though not a follower of Marx, Jabotinsky was a believer in socialism, influenced by his professors in Rome, where he studied law. Back in Russia, the 1903 Kishinev pogrom spurred him into Zionist activity; he was a delegate at the Sixth Zionist Congress (where he voted against Herzl's Uganda Scheme) , and turned his journalistic efforts in that direction as well, editing the Zionist Razsvet, and then later four publications in Constantinople for the World Zionist Organization. When the Ottoman Empire joined WWI, Jabotinsky foresaw that nations downfall, and, desiring to gain Israel from the Ottomans, began assembling the Jewish Legion, and joined the British 38th Battalion himself.
