Abstract:
"The Times" and the "Morning Post" used antisemitism to bolster the Conservative opposition's attack on British government policy towards Bolshevik Russia. Important contributors on Russian issues were sympathetic to Tsarist policies, blaming the Jews for the success of Bolshevism and accusing them of undermining Russian society and involvement in the Tsar's murder. In 1919 "The Times" published large quantities of material linking the Jews, Bolshevism, and Zionism, despite complaints from British Jews. The English translation of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" was brought to public attention by a "Times" article in May 1920; however, "The Times" never claimed that the work was genuine and one of their reporters exposed it as a forgery in 1921. The editor of the "Morning Post, " H.A.K. Gwynne, and his Russian correspondent Victor E. Marsden, published articles warning against the "Jewish peril" of Bolshevism. Concludes that this agitation was limited in scope and time; after 1921 these ideas were found only on the fringes of political life.
