summary

Communist agitprop blaming anti-Semitism on the Czarist regime. A representative group of Russia’s dignitaries and social classes present a bouquet of severed heads. “See, these are the animal-like people who brought anti-Semitism to Czarist Russia. All the class enemies you know: The Czar, the minister, the priest, the landowner, the kulak, the gendarme, the Black Hundreds - they are the organizers of the pogroms and caused the persecution of the Jews.”
