First Published in 1995. The emergence in Russia of the antisemitic chauvinist movement, Pamyat, has started Western society even as it has stirred deep fears and anxiety among Jews and democratic forces within Russia. How could supposedly Communist society, whose founder V.I. Lenin had railed against the racism and bigotry, give birth to a proto-fascist idealogy and organisation? This study seeks to respond to this understandable, if provocative query. The roots of Pamyat's idealogy can be traced to the tsarist Black Hundreds in the really part of the twentieth century to certain aspects of Stalinism, and especially to the Soviet 'anti-Zionist' campaign of 1967-86. Although the antisemitic campaign was officially halted at state level by Mikhail Gorbachev, the merging Pamyat groups took advantage of the freer atmosphere of glasnost to continue to foster anti-Jewish hatred.
These essays by one of the pioneers of sociology are grouped in five categories: social theory, war and militarism, public opinion and propaganda, the history of literature, and ""the present and the future""
This book makes no claim to literary merit. It is simply a work of research and documentation, giving evidence and facts which will help the reader in drawing his own conclusions. The book is not complete simply because it will never be complete. But for the present it is the best study of the root conditions which have led to present day subversive upheavals and the overthrow of the principles of Christian civilization. The book is a fascinating journey into the various occult traditions from the 16th century to the early 20th century and reveals secrets that have long been hidden. The author died under very mysterious circumstances and has taken much of the secrets with her into the grave. Did she find out too much? If you want to know everything about secret societies and conspiratory brotherhoods, this is yours. Be prepared for knowledge that reaches far beyond your current imagination.
"This book is a translation of historian Carlo Ginzburgʾs latest collection of essays. Through the detective work of uncovering a wide variety of stories or microhistories from fragments, Ginzburg takes on the bigger questions: How do we draw the line between truth and fiction? What is the relationship between history and memory? Stories range from medieval Europe, the inquisitional trial of a witch, seventeenth-century antiquarianism, and twentieth-century historians"--Provided by publisher.

Examines the origins of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion". Its main source was Maurice Joly's satire "Dialogues in Hell between Machiavelli and Montesquieu" (1864). Joly's text was used by the antisemitic German writer Hermann Goedsche who wrote the novel "To Sedan" as part of the "Biarritz" series in 1868. Part of the novel, rewritten by Goedsche as "The Rabbi's Speech" and published in Russian in 1872 under the title "The Jewish Cemetery in Prague and the Council of Representatives of the Twelve Tribes of Israel", contains a speech allegedly delivered before "elders of Israel" in Prague. The "Protocols" was concocted in France and published in Russia in order to convince the Tsar that ...
