(AP/Alexander Zemlianichenko) Russian President Vladimir Putin gestures while speaking during his annual news conference and call-in show at Gostinny Dvor in Moscow, Russia, December 19, 2024. (AP/Alexander Zemlianichenko) 24 Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday used antisemitic rhetoric during his lengthy end-of-year press conference, accusing people including “ethnic Jews” of tearing apart the Russian Orthodox Church. During the press conference, Putin was asked about punitive measures some European countries have taken against the Russian Orthodox Church in the wake of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine over the church’s close relationship with Putin’s regime. The Council of Europe recently labeled the church a propaganda tool of the Kremlin, and several European countries have expelled church officials due to security concerns. “These people that are attacking the church, they are not atheists,” said Putin. “They are absolutely faithless people, Godless people. Well, ethnically, many of them are Jews, but you haven’t seen them visit any synagogue.” 00:00 06:33 After adding that the alleged opponents of the church were also neither Orthodox Christian nor Muslim, he added, “These are people without kin or memory, with no roots. They don’t cherish what we cherish and the majority of the Ukrainian people cherish as well.” Critics of Putin decried the statement as antisemitic, noting parallels to Soviet state antisemitism under Josef Stalin, when the Kremlin persecuted Jews and accused them of being “rootless cosmopolitans.” Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Newsletter email address Your email Get it By signing up, you agree to the terms Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, the president of the Conference of European Rabbis, warned that Putin’s characterization of Jews in this way could have dangerous consequences.

(Ina Fassbender / AFP) “This is just one example of his regime’s explicit and virulent antisemitism, which has intensified following his 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the 2023 events of October 7th,” Goldschmidt said. “This is all reminiscent of Stalin’s “Fight against Cosmopolitanism” and the “Doctors’ Plot” of 1948–53, the brutal antisemitic campaign in the Soviet Union, resulting in the arrest and killing of much of the Soviet Jewish leadership in the Soviet Union.” “We cannot emphasize enough the dangerous effect of such statements in a semi-totalitarian society,” Goldschmidt continued. “As a representative of Jewish communities across Europe, and someone who was forced to flee my home and community in Moscow, I call on Europe and the free world to unequivocally condemn President Putin’s dangerous propaganda before it spreads further,” said Goldschmidt, who in 2022 left Russia and quit as chief rabbi of Moscow due to his refusal to endorse the invasion. The Russian Orthodox Church has been widely criticized by international watchdogs for its close relationship with the Russian government. The Council of Europe recently labeled the church a propaganda tool of the Kremlin, and several European countries have expelled church officials due to security concerns. Putin and his deputies have employed antisemitic rhetoric in their arguments for their invasion of Ukraine. Although Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish, Putin has claimed that Ukraine is led by a “neo-Nazi regime.” Russia’s Jewish population has decreased steeply since the invasion of Ukraine and during the decade leading up to it. In the Russian census of 2021, some 83,000 people identified as Jewish. The previous census, in 2010, showed about 160,000 Jews living in Russia, and an estimated 150,000 Jews were still living there in 2021, the year before the invasion. Putin’s latest bout of antisemitic rhetoric came during his traditional year-end question-and-answer session — largely a televised show, and a rare setting in which Putin is put on the spot with some uncomfortable questions. The 72-year-old Kremlin leader spoke for just under four and a half hours on Thursday.

ISRAEL ÎN RĂZBOI – ZIUA 442

Președintele rus Vladimir Putin a folosit retorică antisemită în timpul unei lungi conferințe de presă de sfârșit de an, acuzând persoane, inclusiv „evrei etnici”, că distrug Biserica Ortodoxă Rusă.

În timpul conferinței de presă, Putin a fost întrebat despre măsurile punitive pe care unele țări europene le-au luat împotriva Bisericii Ortodoxe Ruse în urma invaziei din 2022 a Ucrainei, din cauza relației strânse a bisericii cu regimul lui Putin. Consiliul Europei a etichetat recent biserica ca un instrument de propagandă al Kremlinului, iar mai multe țări europene au expulzat oficiali ai bisericii din motive de securitate.

„Acești oameni care atacă biserica nu sunt atei”, a spus Putin. „Sunt oameni absolut fără credință, oameni fără Dumnezeu. Ei bine, etnic, mulți dintre ei sunt evrei, dar nu i-ați văzut vizitând vreo sinagogă.”

După ce a adăugat că pretinșii opozanți ai bisericii nu erau nici ortodocși creștini, nici musulmani, el a adăugat: „Aceștia sunt oameni fără neam sau memorie, fără rădăcini. Nu prețuiesc ceea ce prețuim noi și ceea ce majoritatea poporului ucrainean prețuiește de asemenea.”

Criticii lui Putin au condamnat afirmația ca fiind antisemită, observând paralele cu antisemitismul de stat sovietic sub Josef Stalin, când Kremlinul a persecutat evreii și i-a acuzat că sunt „cosmopoliți fără rădăcini”.

Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, președintele Conferinței Rabbiților Europeni, a avertizat că caracterizarea evreilor de către Putin în acest mod ar putea avea consecințe periculoase.

„Aceasta este doar un exemplu al antisemitismului explicit și virulent al regimului său, care s-a intensificat după invazia sa din 2022 a Ucrainei și evenimentele din 7 octombrie 2023”, a spus Goldschmidt. „Toate acestea amintesc de „Lupta împotriva Cosmopolitismului” a lui Stalin și de „Complotul Doctorilor” din 1948-1953, campania brutală antisemită din Uniunea Sovietică, care a dus la arestarea și uciderea unei părți semnificative a conducerii evreiești sovietice.”

„Nu putem sublinia suficient efectul periculos al unor astfel de declarații într-o societate semi-totalitară”, a continuat Goldschmidt.

„Ca reprezentant al comunităților evreiești din întreaga Europă și cineva care a fost nevoit să fugă din casa și comunitatea mea din Moscova, fac apel la Europa și la lumea liberă să condamne fără echivoc propaganda periculoasă a președintelui Putin înainte ca aceasta să se răspândească mai departe”, a spus Goldschmidt, care în 2022 a părăsit Rusia și a renunțat la funcția de rabin șef al Moscovei din cauza refuzului său de a susține invazia.

Biserica Ortodoxă Rusă a fost criticată pe scară largă de organizațiile internaționale de supraveghere pentru relația sa strânsă cu guvernul rus. Consiliul Europei a etichetat recent biserica ca un instrument de propagandă al Kremlinului, iar mai multe țări europene au expulzat oficiali ai bisericii din motive de securitate.

Putin și subordonații săi au folosit retorică antisemită în argumentele lor pentru invazia Ucrainei. Deși președintele ucrainean Volodymyr Zelensky este evreu, Putin a susținut că Ucraina este condusă de un „regim neo-nazist”.

Populația evreiască din Rusia a scăzut drastic de la invazia Ucrainei și în decada care a precedat-o. În recensământul rus din 2021, aproximativ 83.000 de persoane s-au identificat ca evrei. Recensământul anterior, din 2010, arăta că aproximativ 160.000 de evrei trăiau în Rusia, iar
