title: Anti-Jewish Conspiracy Theories in Putin’s Russia
abstract: This article considers two cases of antisemitic political rhetoric and explores the nature of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories in Putin’s Russia. The author concludes that anti-Jewish conspiracy theories are a somewhat marginalised intellectual product. Unlike anti-Western conspiracy theories – which are a mainstream driver of political discussions, these are rarely used by the Russian political establishment for the pur-poses of political mobilisation.
