| Anti-Semitism in Moldova (2009 – 2012) |
| 12.06.2013, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism |
Due to the difficult Moldovan political and social situation in recent years compared to the situation in the mid-2000s, incidents of anti-Semitism, particularly vandalism, have become more frequent. Moldova also seems to display tendencies to justify or even glorify the actions of Romanian radical right or Fascist figures from the 1930-1940, such as Ion Antonescu or Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. |

| Anti-Israeli Acts and Statements in Post-Soviet Territory During the Pillar of Defense Operation |
| 23.05.2013, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism |
As the Pillar of Defense operation was fairly short-term, with (relatively) few victims and a great precision of strikes on the side of Israel, which led to a minimum of losses among Palestinian civilians, it did not provoke such an outburst of anti-Semitic activity as the larger Cast Lead operation, which took place in December 2008 – January 2009. However, it was still cause for a number of anti-Israeli statements in the media, some of which included direct anti-Semitic clichés. Evidence also began to appear that FSU Muslims are beginning to listen to anti-Israeli propaganda. |

| 07.05.2013, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism |
In 2011-2012, the level of crimes committed out of anti-Semitism remained relatively low in Russia. Over a period of 2 years, 5 incidents of attacks, 1 insult, and 38 cases of vandalism were recorded. If we compare this statistic to that of leading Western countries, we can even say that Russia is a relatively “calm” spot. |

| The Logic of a Scandal and Nuremberg Laws |
| 22.01.2013, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism |
The last weeks of 2012 went out with a loud scandal concerning the anti-Semitic remarks of a second-tier Ukrainian politician. The resonance from this private remark was so wide that the discussion quickly became international, and Ukraine once more made the headlines of global media – naturally, as these stories tend to go, it was shown in a rather unsightly manner. |

| Kirill and Gavriil: the Media, the Teaching of the Church, and “Blood Libel” |
| 29.08.2012, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism |
[...] Let the mistake of using the Russian imperial administrative territorial division in the context of the XVII century be on the heads of the journalists, even though this mistake is in many ways telling. But blood libel in the news of the leading Russian state channel is harder to let pass. Even the loyal Federation of Jewish Communities of Russian (FJCR) has expressed its “great surprise and disappointment at the unprofessional and bizarre comment of the “Russia 24” channel, one of the leading Russian media outlets, on the visit of the Holy Patriarch of Moscow and All the Rus' Kirill to the Nikolsky Cathedral Church in the city of Belostok.” |

| Problems of Emigration of Russian-Speaking Israelis in the Context of Israel's Political Situation: Myths and Reality |
| 06.06.2012, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism |
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in topics connected to the local Russian-speaking community. The pretext for the discussion was the report of the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute (JPPPI), which had been presented to the Knesset Committee on Aliyah and Absorption on May 22, 2012. According to this report, approximately 80 thousand Russian-speaking citizens of Israel, who initially arrived in the country in the 1990s, have now emigrated out of it again. The authors of the report and the members of the committee hold the opinion, widely circulated in Israel's media, that the main reason for this deflux was that these people were not accepted as Jews in Israel, and that their economic problems played a much smaller part. |

| 15.04.2012, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism |
The tragic incident that happened on April 8th to a Kyiv yeshiva student had immediately become the focus of attention both for the community and the mass media. As the incident led to heavy, life-threatening physical trauma for the young man, and as it received such a wide resonance, it is very important to leave aside emotions and unfounded fantasies, and use the information given to us by the law enforcement agencies and other sources to attempt to reconstruct what actually took place. |
