Knee Danovo. Eschatology and anti -Semitism in modern Russia

Today, anti -Semitism is the most famous type of phobia. Its causes and types are well studied, its history has been developed in detail, its historical forms and the features of its existence in various historical and cultural contexts were considered. Meanwhile, his extraordinary stability and the ability to experience entire eras, changing forms and adapting to new situations, continues to raise questions. In particular, the emphasis on racial, political and socio-economic forms of anti-Semitism pushed its religious forms into the background, and today many experts consider them only in use in the Middle Ages. This book shows that modern religious Renaissance leads to a revival of religious forms of anti -Semitism. The apocalyptic is analyzed, in the context of which the Jews are given the image of the avant -garde detachment of the antichrist, which makes believers see in their high activity the correct sign of approaching the end of the world. Analysis of eschatological myths and moods allows you to better understand the features of modern anti -Semitism, including "anti -Semitism without Jews".
