Russian Antisemitism

 

While the US eugenic movement provided the Pseudo-Science to Rationalized by the German National Socialism to justify the Racial Laws especially applied towards the Jews, Arendt in the Origins of Totalitarianism show the connection between Medieval Antisemitism eventually the Western Imperialism which directed to Holocaust—which was not only an industrial genocide, but creation of the other.

For Rome found in Christianity a natural kinship to justify the power of the Empire, by appropriated the idea of Chosen, the King Messiah legitimization come from God and God give power to Rome under cover of King Messiah—of Christianity toward that (including Islam maintain the same the right from God) of course the Original author of such concept the Jews become obstacle for that in case of Christianity and after Islam needed to delegitimize the Jews for Christianity treat the Jews as an Adulterer since broke the relationship with God but not accepting the Christian Messiah for Islam delegitimize Jews by deny as  Ethnic group hence they are not Jews.

Arendt connected with the creation the other justified the Society the right rule over other. The first reference to Moscow dates from 1147 as a meeting place of Sviatoslav Olgovich and Yuri Dolgorukiy. At the time it was a minor town on the western border of Vladimir-Suzdal Principality.

 

In 1156, Kniaz Yury Dolgoruky fortified the town with a timber fence and a moat. In the course of the Mongol invasion of Rus, the Golden Horde burned the city to the ground and killed its inhabitants, "on the Moscow river" was inherited by Daniel, the youngest son of Alexander Nevsky, in the 1260s, when Daniel inherent Moscow, Daniel still a child at the time, and the fort was governed by tiuns , appointed by Daniel's paternal uncle, Yaroslav of Tver. Daniel came of age in the 1270s and became involved in the power struggles of the principality, siding with his brother Dmitry in his bid for the rule of Novgorod. From 1283 he acted as the ruler of an independent principality alongside Dmitry, who became Grand Duke of Vladimir. Moscow becomes eventually a city client of the Khan. Initially the Khan attempted to limit Moscow's influence, but with the growth of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania began to threaten all of Russia, the Khan strengthened Moscow to counterbalance Lithuania, allowing it to become one of the most powerful cities in Russia. In 1380, prince Dmitry Donskoy of Moscow led a united Russian army to an important victory over the Mongols in the Battle of Kulikovo. Afterwards, Moscow took the leading role in liberating Russia from Mongol domination. In 1480, Ivan III had finally broken the Russians free from Tatar control and overthrew the Mongols.

Katherine the German Princess brought with her absolutism after the collapse, Lithuanian commonwealth the German Princess inherence the Jews in from the Pale come across from the Baltic to Ukraine, Katherine limited the Jews to the pale, the reason their existence challenge the absolute power of the Czarina.

Evans in Europe 1815-1917 point the reactionary alliance between Prussia, Austria, the British (the British consider the alliance as pro-quo) and the Czar a reaction to Napoleon Secular Empire which give civic and citizenship to the Jews but recognized as individuals, but as ethnic Group. Which challenge the absolutism Arendt consider this absolutism which rise the Holocaust from events lead to WWI, while the Czar give some rights to the serfs—Austria Frank Joseph did not because they were different ethnic group and Orthodox open doors to events for WWI.

But as National Socialism saw the Jews as the problem, Russia saw the same the Orthodox Church consider themselves inherent of Roma Empire of the East—but them Constantinople in the hands of Islam. Alexander II passing laws to conscripts Jews Children 12 years to serve in his Army for 20 years and the Russian Antisemitism percolated though every Russian social group from the Aristocrats to the Revolutionary. With the Czar ended with Czar secret police creating fake book of Protocols and Stalin wanted to Genocide the Jews in 1950´s in every level of the Russian Society Antisemitism, today the same lust and hate Putin Russia using against Ukraine.
