I’m currently writing an article for a newspaper and one of the subsections revolves around a societal responsibility towards propaganda; especially racial or ideologically Nazi propaganda as in the example of Jud Suß.
For this, I wanted to discuss the Soviet reaction to Protocols as the book was a product of the Russian Empire and served as a driving justification for Nazi racial propaganda, making the Soviet reaction towards the book potentially very useful to my article.
I’ve found very little information regarding this, and thought it would makes sense to ask if anyone here has any sources as to the Soviet reaction to the book or if it was banned? English or Russian would do as I can read both.
It was completely banned, same as all other antisemitic propaganda. Here’s an interview in Russian about this specific question: https://www.svoboda.org/a/2077533.html
As a sidenote, this speech is 🔥🔥🔥: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_n_qtgUKnY
Thank you! Also that’s an amazing speech, and I’m definitely keeping it in my back pocket for the next time a liberal claims Lenin was antisemitic.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I didn’t find anything specifically about this book, but the book Jews in the Soviet Union said that “those conducting agitation for pogroms [were] outlawed” (19) shortly after the revolution.
Thank you for looking, and I can definitely take a look that book!
