Representatives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation are outraged by accusations of anti-Semitism

On January 13, 2005, the website of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation published an article "The search for anti-Semitism in the Communist Party continues", which refutes accusations of anti-Semitism against the leadership of the party that were made in the report of the US State Department and then repeated by the Internet resource NewsInfo. Recall that before this report caused indignation of the Russian Foreign Ministry .

As proof of the presence of anti-Semitic sentiments, NewsInfo cites the statements of A. Makashov, who, having joined Gennady Semigin's "schismatics" in mid-2004, indeed, formally is no longer a representative of the Communist Party. "So his statements are just the statements of a private person. How anti-Semitic his ideas are, let the local policeman, the State Department, the World Jewish Congress or any other organization competent in these matters decide. But what does this have to do with the Communist Party?" - asks the anonymous author of the article.

The statements of A. Makashov, perhaps, have nothing to do with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. However, I would like to remind you that even without him, the leadership of the Communist Party allows itself to make anti-Semitic statements. Suffice it to say that during the period of the parliamentary election campaign, it was for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation that anti-Semitic rhetoric was a priority in the pre-election Hate Speech . We can also recall Gennady Zyuganov's article "Holy Russia and the Kingdom of Koshcheyevo", and the undisguised anti-Semitic speech of a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and, concurrently, the speaker of the Ryazan Regional Parliament, V.N.
