Chapter 14. Snyder’s Accusations of Soviet Anti-Semitism in Bloodlands Chapter 11 What is the Truth? И вдруг на этом обсуждении премий Сталин, обращаясь к членам Политбюро и говорит: - У нас в ЦК антисемиты завелись. Это безобразие! - Так это было. Тихон Хренников о времени и о себе. М.: «Музыка» 1994, с. 179. Translated: And suddenly during this discussion of the prizes Stalin turned towards the members of the Politburo and said: - Antisemites have turned up in our Central Com- mittee. It is a disgrace! -Thus It Was. Tikhon Khrennikov about His Times and Himself. Moscow: “Muzyka” 1994, p. 179. The Lie That Stalin Was Anti-Semitic Snyder’s book is subtitled “Europe Between Hitler and Stalin.” He speaks of “twelve years, between 1933 and 1945, while both Hitler and Stalin were in power.” (vii) Hitler committed suicide in April 1945. So why does Snyder have a chapter that deals with events in the USSR from 1948 to 1952, when Hitler was long dead? The reason, presumably, is that Snyder cannot find any anti-Semitism by Stalin, the Soviet government, or pro-Soviet forces like the Polish com- munist-led People’s Army (Armia Ludowa, AL). On the contrary: all Chapter Fourteen. Snyder’s Accusations of Soviet Anti-Semitism 487 the anti-Semitism between 1933 and 1945, aside from the Nazis, was by anticommunist forces like the Polish government-in-exile, its underground Home Army and Ukrainian nationalists. And their anti-Semitism was immense! Snyder supports, and is supported by, the political forces in pre- sent-day Poland and Ukraine that are fiercely anticommunist — Snyder approves of that — but are also anti-Semitic in their un- guarded moments. -

'The True Orthodox Church of Russia
'The True Orthodox Church of Russia VLADIMIR MOSS For the last 60 years or more, the existence of the True Orthodox Church has been one of the best-kept secrets of Soviet 'reality'. The 'True Orthodox', or 'Catacomb', or 'Tikhonite' Church claims to be the direct descendant of the Russian Orthodox Church as it existed before the revolution and in the first decade after the revolution under Patriarch Tikhon and his successor, the locum tenens of the patriarchal throne, Metropolitan Petr of Krutitsy. In 1927, however, the True Orthodox argue, power in the Russian Church was usurped by one of the senior hierarchs, Metropolitan Sergi of Nizhni Novgorod, who issued a declaration in which he thanked the Soviet state for its great services to Orthodoxy, declared that the Soviet state's joys were the church's joys and its sorrows the church's sorrows, and placed himself in more or less unconditional submission to the atheist state. This declaration was rejected not only by Metropolitan Petr, the lawful head of the Russian Orthodox Church (in prison at that time), but also by most of the senior bishops of the church and a large proportion of the faithful (90 per cent of the parishes in the Urals, for example). The schism thus created was vigQlously exploited and deepened by the KGB, who sent to the camps or shot any bishop or priest who did not accept the declaration of Metropolitan Sergi, and with the active support of Sergi, who denounced his opponents as 'counter-revolutionaries' - the equiva lent of a death sentence in those terrible times. -
Putin Pays Homage to Ilyin Publication: Eurasia Daily Monitor
Putin Pays Homage to Ilyin Publication: Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 6 Issue: 106 June 3, 2009 02:55 PM Age: 135 days By: Yuri Zarakhovich http://www.jamestown.org/single/?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=35075 Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin lays flowers to the tomb of writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn On May 24 Russian Prime minister Vladimir Putin visited the Sretensk Monastery's cemetery in Moscow, laying flowers on the graves of the White Russian generals Anton Denikin and Vladimir Kappel; emigre nationalist philosopher and the leading ideologist of the White cause Ivan Ilyin, emigre writer Ivan Shmelyev and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The remains of Denikin, Ilyin, Shmelev and Kappel had been reinterred in Moscow in the 2000's from graves in the United States, Switzerland, France and China respectively in a symbolic gesture of healing the Russian civil war rift. Putin was accompanied on his visit to the cemetery by Archimandrite Tikhon Shevkunov, the father superior of the Sretensk Monastery. Shevkunov is a leader of the most conservative, nationalist and monarchist wing within the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), close to the new Patriarch Cyril. He has also been known for his close links to Putin. In fact, Putin had chosen him to prepare the reunification of the ROC and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) which took place in May 2007, with the ROCOR becoming part of the ROC. Shevkunov has neither confirmed nor denied persistent rumors that he is Putin's confessor, but he has emphasized his allegiance to him. In 2001 Shevkunov said: "Vladimir Putin is indeed an Orthodox Christian believer...who confesses, takes Communion and realizes his responsibility to God for the high service entrusted him, and for his immortal soul...He who really loves Russia and wishes it well, can only pray for Vladimir, placed at the head of Russia by God's will" (Izvestia, December 8, 2001). -

The religious symbols of antisemitism are anchored in the religious and cultural memories of the Western und Muslim worlds. Eradication of antisemitism will only be possible, if these religious symbols of Antisemitism are neutralized in both heritages. Keywords: Pittsburgh shooting, Antisemitism In the morning of October 27th, Robert Bowers entered Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue during Sabbath service. He shouted “all Jews must die” 1 and shot seventeen people. -

Russian Soft Power in France: Assessing Moscow's Cultural and Business Para- Diplomacy
Russian Soft Power in France: Assessing Moscow's Cultural and Business Para- diplomacy January 8, 2018 Marlene Laruelle Senior Fellow, Carnegie Council; Research Professor, The George Washington University This paper is the first of a series of publications on Russia's influence in France. France constitutes the most prominent example of Russia's soft power in Western Europe, due not only to the long-lasting positive bilateral relations but also to the presence of an important Russian emigration since the 1920s that can act as a relay of influence. This project is supported by a grant from the Foundation Open Society Institute in cooperation with OSIFE of the Open Society Foundations. The French-Russian relationship is based on a long-standing tradition of cultural exchanges. In the 19th century, France was already one of the preferred destinations for Russian political exiles, and subsequently received several of the major waves of Russian emigration in the interwar period. Under the presidency of de Gaulle, it positioned itself as a European power relatively favorable to the Soviet Union. France's strong Communist tradition also encouraged a certain ideological proximity, and Russian was widely taught at secondary school level until the collapse of the USSR. The bilateral relationship is more complex today, characterized by close- knit economic and cultural interrelationships but also by political difficulties over the main international issues, the most important of which are Ukraine and Syria. Since the support shown by Russia to the European extreme right and the—now waning—honeymoon between the Front National (National Front) and some Kremlin circles, debate in France on the "Russian presence" and "Russia's networks of influence" has escalated, sometimes reaching extreme forms of paranoia founded on gross exaggeration, groundless supposition, and the reproduction of American arguments concerning the rumored Russian hand in electing Donald Trump. -
