Abstract:
Describes and compares the situation of Protestants before and during the French Revolution in southeastern France with the situation of the Jews in tsarist Russia before and during the Revolution of 1917. Deals with events preceding the Bolshevik Revolution and the evolution of the situation of the Jews, the active participation of Jews in the Revolution in Russia and Ukraine, and pogroms in Ukraine during the civil war. Shows similarities in the segregation, stereotyping, and demonization of the Protestants in France and the Jews in Russia. Both groups were accused of playing a conspiratorial role in these revolutions. Asserts that they were the perfect scapegoats on whom it was possible to discharge resentments activated by revolutionary turbulence, and that both anti-Protestantism and antisemitism were incited by religiously-sanctioned nativism and hostility to modernism.
