Anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union, attributed to the Stalin regime, is now again raising its ugly head in Russia under Nikita Khruschev, chief of the Communist Party, according to a report issued here by the Congress for Cultural Freedom.
The report says that the anti-Jewish insinuations made publicly by Khruschev on various occasions since his coming to power in Moscow have stimulated the emergence of anti-Semitism among Communist officials. It emphasizes that Jews in the USSR, who watched with a feeling of relief the denunciation by Khruschev of the “Doctors’ Plot” which was aimed primarily against Jews, are now again perturbed following the anti-Jewish remarks made by Khruschev.
The report reveals that the number of Jews in government service in the Soviet Union is constantly declining. No Jew can now be found in the Soviet diplomatic service, the report asserts.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
