Abstract:
In July 1986, in the "Literaturnaya Gazeta", O. Tvorogov criticized "misguided" Soviet admirers of the "Book of Vles", a racist forgery claiming to be an ancient manuscript, glorifying the Russians' Aryan ancestors. He failed to mention that the text was produced by former pro-Nazi collaborators and had already been exposed in 1960. In 1982, Lev Korneyev accused Zionists of denigrating the Russian cultural heritage, including the "Book of Vles." Among the important defenders of the work was Vladimir Skurlatov, an anti-Zionist propagandist and a link between these ideas and a group of Soviet science fiction writers who emphasize racial antisemitism. Pp. 18-27 contain an annotated bibliography, by Z. Bar-Sela and M. Kaganskaya, giving editions of the "Book of Vles, " commentaries and evaluations, and lists of racist science fiction works and scientific and popular science literature reflecting these ideas.
