Nekrasov, “The Roots of Anti-Semitism”; A. K-ku, “Jewish World Powers”; M. Bialkovskii, “The Shadow of the Jew”); etc.
Similar pieces are found among draft manuscripts and newspaper clippings stored in the fonds of articles and stories published in the newspaper or sent to it for review, including a speech by German Press Bureau deputy director H. Zendermann stating that “Jews in Germany [had] always worked to undermine the state,” and that in early 1933 they “organized an international economic boycott of Germany,” etc.; stories by G. Borovenko (“From the Notes of a Soviet Student,” “The Face of Soviet Literature”) with remarks decrying Jewish dominance of science and art and the valorising of “Zhid-loving heroes,” etc.; the article “Jewry and Marxism” by one Palamarchuk, who claims that this doctrine reflects the “characteristic traits” of the people to whom Marx belonged – “an animal selfishness, implacable hatred, the urge to desecrate recognised ideals, and an insatiable lust for power”; poems by Mestnyi and V. Vasil’ev containing anti-Semitic slogans; caricatures of “Jewish world powers”; a report (in a news brief) on a bombardment of the Vatican, carried out allegedly “at the instigation of the enemies of Christianity, the Jews”; etc.
