    Mass media quoted the nationalistic textbook of Russia’s the soviet history, written by Professor Drozhin, and widely used at the St. Petersburg Interior Ministry University. One of Russia’s largest universities for training law-enforcers.

    The book openly blamed Jews for the breakdown of the Soviet Union, with excepts including:
    “The fall of the USSR and appearance of the CIS on its territory made Hitler’s dream come true. What German Nazism couldn’t do, Zionism managed to accomplish.”

    “Zionists physically eliminated Stalin.”

    Following the articles in the media, the academy’s managers removed the book from the libraries and replaced it with a more moderate manual. Drozhin was fired in April.

    However this did not seem repentant enough to the academy’s management, and its Rector Vasiliy Kudin went to see a rabbi to discuss religious tolerance.

    During the meeting, Kudin promised that in the near future the academy’s students and professors will visit the St. Petersburg synagogue to learn about Jewish culture and tolerance.
