Orthodox Group Repeats Demand to Ban Russia’s Jewish Organizations — Russian MP MosNews A second letter has been sent to the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office demanding that several Jewish organizations be banned, Russian MP Alexander Krutov said. “As far as I know, on March 21, an address on behalf of Orthodox believers was sent to the Prosecutor General’s Office,” Interfax news agency quoted him as saying. The deputy added that a specially formed initiative group gathered signatures under this letter. Russian MPs have not signed it, Krutov said. “The community raises such questions [on a ban of Jewish organizations], and they are to be considered. The question exists, the problem exists, and they are to be solved,” Krutov, deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on information policy, said. Similar letters were sent to the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament. The letter’s authors have demanded a ban on all religious and national organizations based on the Jewish code of conduct, Shulhan Aruha. Among those who reportedly signed the letter are famous Russian writer Vassily Belov, sculptor Vyacheslav Klykov, mathematician Igor Shafarevich, Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov, and former chess champion Boris Spassky. However, Ivashov declined to comment on the reports. A similar letter was sent to prosecutors at the end of January. Then, it was also signed by a group of Duma deputies including Krutov. The letter, signed by over 500 people including about 20 MPs, called the Jewish religion “anti-Christian and inhumane, whose practices extend even to ritual murders”. The letter sending coincided with the day commemorating the WWII Holocaust victims. However, the deputies retracted their letter shortly afterwards. This time, it coincided with the Jewish holiday of Purim. The Duma condemned nationalist manifestations in Russian society, but it did not mention any of the deputies’ names. mosnews.com
