Immediately after the close of the Parshay trial, the Soviet Press and public opinion were taken up with a new anti-Semitic counter-revolutionary affair, which is stated to have important political implications. Revolutions are reported to have been made which show that the Dobrouscha paper factory, which formerly belonged to Prince Paskiewitch, has been used as a best of anti-Semitic propaganda. Prince ex-policemen have been arrested. The best consisted of gendarmes, ex-policemen, ex-priests, and ex-monks. Meetings used to be held, at which methods of strengthening anti-Semitism were discussed. It has been established that the group distributed large quantities of anti-Semitic leaflets and proclamations.

A special commission which has been investigating the affair has closed down the local Communist Bureau, the Party and also the trade union organ and the factory guild. Nine members of the Communist Party have been expelled and fifteen have been censured. The affair has roused immense interest in the Soviet Press and throughout the country.
