Anti-Semitic leaflets were handed out to passers-by in Vladimir

At the end of November 2013, it became known that in Vladimir unidentified persons are distributing anti-Semitic leaflets.

A resident of the city reported that leaflets were handed out on bus stop next to school number 8.

The leaflets express dissatisfaction with the fact that on the square Revolutions in Moscow on the occasion of Hanukkah established a menorah, and in celebration attended by many high-ranking officials. Leaflet authors suggest that in the current government more than 80% of the Jews, because Russian folk holidays are not celebrated on the same scale. At In this case, among the population of Russia, it is stated in the text, there are no more than 1% of Jews.

The authors of the leaflet in a positive sense refer to the alleged the existing norm of the Russian Empire on the expulsion from the country of "adherents of ideology of "God's chosen people", and also claim that during the Second world war radical Jews exterminated the rest of the Jews. Besides, in the leaflet mentions the popular anti-Semitic version of the participation of "young men from Jewish organization "Beitar"" in the Russian events of 1993 in "White House".

A resident of the city, who reported the appearance of leaflets, noted that “this piece of paper was handed not by a shaved guy with a swastika on his chest, but woman aged 45-50. She doesn't look like a nationalist." However, the author messages regards the text of the leaflets as anti-Jewish and aimed at inciting hostility.
