Det var fråga om ett judiskt ritualmord när den ryska tsaren mördades för hundra år sedan under den ryska revolutionen. Påståendet har förekommit tidigare i samband med konspirationsteorier angående tsarens död men nu har en rysk biskop och en ämbetsman vid justitieministeriet upprepat anklagelserna.
RUSSIAN BISHOP CLAIMS LAST TSAR MURDERED BY JEWS FOR RITUAL PURPOSES (Jerusalem Post
Russia’s largest Jewish group protested a local bishop’s claim, repeated by a justice ministry official, that the country’s last tsar was murdered by Jews for ritual purposes.
Marina Molodtsova, a senior investigator for a special ministerial committee on the 1917 slaying of Nicholas II of Russia, said on Monday during a conference in Moscow that her committee will conduct “a psycho-historical examination” to find out whether the execution of the royal family was a ritual murder, Ria Novosti reported.
At the same event, Father Tikhon Shevkunov, a Russian Orthodox Church bishop, said that, according to “the most rigorous approach to the version of ritual murder, a significant part of the church commission [on Nicholas II’s killing during the Russian revolution of 1917] has no doubt that this murder was ritual.”
The Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia, a Chabad-affiliated group with more than 100 affiliated communities across Russia, called the suggestions a “shocking expression of an antisemitic myth” in a statement Monday.
“We all think of this as absolutely unacceptable,” the federation’s spokesperson, Boruch Gorin, told Interfax, and “shocked first and foremost by the sheer absurdity of the allegations.”
