Funny how everyone seemed to think he was such a wonderful guy, and blamed Russia for his skin disorder.
Not surprised at all by these stastics, and wouldn't be surprised to learn there are solid statistics from many other regions of Russia regarding substantiated anti-Semitism. Every Americanized Russian I've ever talked to, (and eventually, most Greeks, Armenians, etc.) reveals an apparently ineradicable strain of Anti=Semitism. I am no longer surprised to find it among people who seem otherwise intelligent.
That must be pretty bad, because I heard that the anti-Semitism in the Ukraine had reached pre-WWII levels, back in the '90s. I was told this by a woman who had done missionary work there.
