This paper was focuses on characteristic of lives of Russian Jews after pogrom through Isaac Babel's works. Isaac Babel was a writer Who led the most typical life of Soviet Jews. His dramatic life ranging from pogrom experience of his childhood, to the limitations and failures due to Jewish identity, to social success and career, and to arrest and tragic death Well illustrates contradictions then Jews have experienced. His autobiographical stories of "Red Cavalry" and "The Odessa Tales" reveal problems and consciousness of the then Soviet Jews. Russian Jews had a strong hostility against the ruling force, dreamed of lives as Supergoy who assimilated into the system at the same time, had contradictory values between conflict and compromise. Much pride in Jewish descent as well as a gap between a strong desire to become a Jew and lineage roots were interestingly depicted as vibrant and varied lives of Jews through characters in the work of Babel, as painstaking work to be assimilated into the system. Humor and confusion expressed in his works were complex and combined and product of consciousness of the writer Babel, consciousness of contemporaneous Jews, and identity of Jews experienced in conflict and compromise as none other than borderline person. Babel’s life and his main characters did not stay only in the Jewish legitimacy. They constantly strived to incorporate into the new order, and endeavored to assimilate into goyish culture, occasionally committed powerful betrayal in order to enter the most central part of the system. Nevertheless, their Jewish legitimacy filled with strong resistance to the system and mockery can be seen. Benja Screm from "The Odessa Tales" is a hero to the weak who mocks governance system at that time. Babel portrays Benja Scream as the savior of the oppressed races by pogrom. Ambivalent feelings such irreconcilable and two appearances of the conflict and compromise reveal well in lives of both Babel and Babel’s characters. In conclusion, at that time the Jews were destined to live as permanent borderline figure between two opposing worlds. And Babel went down in history as such a complier to fate as well as a victim.
