...in the light of what I know about both historic & current Russian anti-semitism, eg this story from a couple of months ago:

Jewish leaders in Moscow are preparing to take twenty Russian MPs to court for signing a letter, along with 500 intellectuals, which accuses Jews of committing ritual murder, satanism, and calling for all Jewish organisations to be banned.

Russian nationalists urge Jewish groups ban

A group of Russian nationalist MPs have called on the prosecutor-general to ban all Jewish groups, blaming them for provoking anti-Semitism and ethnic hatred. The letter, signed by 20 members of the Duma, accuses Jews of dominating politics and the world of finance abroad and underwriting a war on Russian patriotism at home.
