Albert, Yaroslav, grandson of Oleg, conquered Khazars in 10th century. Which goes well with Khazars adopting Christianity at that time. So what it lead to is that Khazrs were converted to Jewdaism in 7th century but were reconverted into Christianity in 10th century. Maybe I should find the site where I read this (the site seemed somewhat anti-semitic), but the article said that Khazars where simply conquered by Slavic Russian tribes, who at the time were adopting Christianity, and lived under occupation ever since (or fled west). While under occupation, those who were of Jewish faith remained so, which is one of the reason they were persecuted. Others, who lived under Khazars but who were did not convert to Judaism just went the same way as most conquered tribes did, they blended with the conquerers, adopted their religion. Anyway, I did not find the link I was looking for, but came across these: Ashkenazi resources: mish-mash.ca And from this site, go to these links: Question 13.4: Who were the Khazars? Are Ashkenazi Jews descended from the Khazars? landfield.com The Jews of Khazaria (book review) khazaria.com The Khazar Heritige: geocities.com A few interesting quotes from this one: The Khazar King is said to have converted to Judaism, and to urge his people to do likewise. There is however evidence of a strong Jewish presence in Khazaria already at an early time. A few generations later, the pagan Rûs gradually pushed back the Khazars. Many of the Jewish Khazars fled to the west, and with their identity as Jewish converts, they married into the Jewish population of Eastern Europe (as did the Christian Khazars, marrying into the Christian Rûs nobility). This is why so-called "Jewish" features are very Khazaric and Turkic. Here is another one: "Christian racial" identity-concepts teaches, in opposition to the word of God, that only blood, not adoption counts, and that Ashkenazi Jews are not real but self-styled Jews. This is primerly used for modern propagandistic diversion, claiming that post-Nazi and anti-jewish anti-semites are not really anti-semitic, just anti-khazar but still very anti-zionistic. Joe
