#1 The largest Christian Church in Ukraine is being persecuted because the country is run by godless people, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said. Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky and many of his associates are ethnic Jews but have never been seen at a synagogue, he added.

Not that I suspect Vlad of being a philo-Semite, but he usually delegates anti-Semitic statements to Lavrov.

#2 From what I know, this is propaganda in itself. Russia and India, two vast countries having multiple races and cultures, have been mostly free of racial hatred, such as in the West(slavery). History is extended in these countries, but talking to those who have lived there and currently seem primarily agreeable. This is one of the reasons India has such good relations with Russia. Yes, counterarguments will attack this idea, Roma, untouchables, and so on. These systemic issues are being addressed at this time—primarily in India.

(1) Russians ARE anti-semitic (and racist in general). If fact, Vlad was responding to anti-Semitic propaganda - "Jews are destroying the faith" - in Russia (because he needs Jews to run Russia).
(2) Indians maintained multiculturalism through caste system. Don't know about you, but I wouldn't enjoy traditional Indian society.

#4 Those pesky Juices!

Yeah Russians have a huge inferiority complex so they have to set themselves up as the master race for their fragile egos. Jews are a normal target for them.

Now you've passed active agitprop to denial of history. Well done, Comrade

#6 Ae you familiar with the phrase beyond the pale, Dale? The Russians are so philosemitic that in 1791 a law was passed decreeing that the Jews of the Russian empire were expelled from all except what was called the Pale of Settlement — roughly 20% of the western portion of the country — but also forbidden the cities within the Pale limits. Within the Pale Jews were crowded into shtetl villages — restricted in choice of occupation, restricted in ability to get education, restricted in movement, at risk of pogroms… unless one converted to Russian Orthodox Christianity. Fiddler on the Roof was a reasonably accurate depiction.

#7 I was unfamiliar with that history. My information was about current people in those countries or recently here. Both have long histories. I suppose anything can be news. With Trump, I noticed they went back to his high school days. They still want slavery reparations. I see this as more of a psyops war in Western media.

#8 Bravely said, Dale. We all learn here. :-)

I would like to point out that the Roma have had a positive impact on Slavic culture every bit as much as St. Cyril had.

#10 If you want to start with the history of the various civil wars in Modern India, I suggest starting here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India

Then go on to read about such things as the origin of Bangladesh. Then you can read about Sam the Brave and the Rapid Action Battalion, if you need inspiration.

I thought rantburg had covered it before.
