A new anti-Semitic letter to the Russian prosecutors urging a ban on Jewish religious organizations as “extremist” has surfaced again. The letter that was sent to the Prosecutor General’s Office earlier this week is a revised version of an earlier letter that generated headlines in Russian and international media and triggered a wide public debate in Russia about anti-Semitism and the place of Jews in Russian society two months ago.
