Kurzfassung:
The Soviet theater was constrained to reflect official Soviet policy toward issues related to Jews. During the NEP years, Jewish characters depicting reformers and utopians, which were presented immediately after the revolution, were replaced by figures of speculators and bourgeois citizens. In the late 1920s and the 1930s, when the Soviet government evinced antisemitism, Jews were personified by characters who preferred assimilation. Before the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement, after which any criticism of fascism was forbidden, the theater depicted the persecuted Jews in Western Europe as victims of outrageous violence. But the scale of the Holocaust was later minimized, and victims of the Holocaust were presented, in general, as pitiful characters sometimes even ready to sell out their own brothers. During the Cold War, the campaign against cosmopolitanism turned into blunt antisemitism and persecution of Jewish critics and personalities. The Soviet campaign against Zionism was reflected in the theater in criticism of those aspiring to emigrate to Israel.
