Two events almost coincided: Putin’s trip to Auschwitz, where, of course, all the appropriate words about the Holocaust will be said, and the letter of 20 deputies of the Duma to the prosecutor’s office demanding “close the Jews”. The letter, as you know, is withdrawn, and to the question "Why will the prosecutor's office not attract its authors for inciting interethnic growth?" Ustinov muttered slurredly, that why, they say, "do not touch, it would not stink." This wink, replacing a simple, transparent legal assessment, exactly corresponds to the legal culture of the prosecutor's office.
But the prosecutor, not only in legal, but also in the political, and simply in the everyday sense, winked incorrectly. When they do not touch him, that is, they do not remove it - then “it stinks” with terrible force, and sticks to the soles. An example of Europe, where they do not get tired of touching and touching, suggests that there is “it”, of course, has not taken anywhere - anti -Semitism, like other products of human life, is constantly reproduced, this is true. And yet, since they have been cleaned there, for many years not a single Western parliamentarian dares to make such sounds and smells such as 20 of our hunters. The “terror of political correctness” makes the Krutov local choke on their “truth” - unlike our country, probably the last stronghold of a free Nazi word in Europe. In any case, no one dares to demand the closure of the synagogues and other seedlings of Satanism and the Modeline Sects in Europe ... Almost from the time of Auschwitz. 60 years lost in vain!
Did anti -Semitism grow in Russia during the reign of Putin?
It's hard to say. Five years ago, the people also hated the oligarchs, not everyone, namely the “Jewish”, the list of which was then two times longer. Those who today believe in the “worldwide conspiracy against Russia” - they believed then, and who was mentally normal then, he, as a rule, did not become paranoid.
And yet there is a dynamics.

Putin's coming gave rise to great fears of some (equal hopes of others). From the "Chekist" they expected the national revival-some people understand the revival of state anti-Semitism by this. The liquidation of Berezovsky and Gusinsky worked on this image. However, the “Lubyanskaya pause” came - there was another good 2 years before the pogrom in Yukos, and neither state anti -Semitic propaganda, nor the corresponding “personnel policy” began. Actually, as for the “personnel policy”, there are almost no Jews in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - but there were not many of them even under Yeltsin. In the rest of the departments, no one interfered with them, not to mention business and free professions. However, the belief in the “good king”, which, sooner or later, “disperse the Jews”, as well as the fear that “the evil Chekist crawls to the shore, sharpen his dagger,” remained. Faith and fear do not need documentary reinforcements too much, in essence, these are irrational emotions, it is difficult to get rid of them.
So far, dreams remain dreams. The defeat of Berezovsky-Gusinsky-Khodorkovsky did not become a modern option for the defeat of Trotsky-Kamenev-Zinoviev, moreover, he did not begin the beginning of a direct pogrom policy. But there is an active "bypass movement".
Namely: there is no frontal anti -Semitism, there is only a “common sovereign”. Her troubadours are often not quite Aryan miracle journalists who, as it should, are large Russian nationalists than the Russians themselves. But the point, of course, is not in the nationality of new Russian powers.

The fact is that closedness and sovereign certainly imply several things. Firstly, the escalation of theft of officials (otherwise-why do you need all this at all?). Secondly, the search for enemies guilty of ... Well, in everything that inevitably happens during the next reckless stooping of everything around. Thirdly, they are not looking for good from good-the best enemy (externally/internal) still cannot be found, no matter how much look.
The closed, authoritarian, corrupt regime in Russia is always “a little pregnant” by state anti -Semitism - whatever the subject’s subjective desires. Putin, undoubtedly, holds his hand on a manual brake, and a leg on the leg, holds an rink of anti -Semitism. But at the moment when the state mashmash is finally blocking, they will try to stretch it out with an anti -Semitic tractor - it seems that Putin will not have others.
