Core Idea
Soviet ideology formally opposed ethnic hatred, but Jewish identity could be treated as bourgeois, religious, cosmopolitan, or politically suspect.
Main Pattern
Accusations shifted toward code words: rootless cosmopolitans, Zionists, foreign agents, or disloyal intellectuals.
Historical Snapshot
Stalin-era purges, the Doctors' Plot, restrictions on Jewish culture, and later anti-Zionist campaigns showed how state power could target Jews while denying antisemitic intent.
Modern Echo
Some contemporary anti-Zionist rhetoric inherits Soviet-era habits when it treats Jewish collective life as uniquely illegitimate or conspiratorial.
