When the normal political discontent became intensified by the economic mischiefs of Russian administration, the alien bureaucrats found it convenient to throw the blame on the Jews. Moreover, by encouraging anti-Semitism they were enabled to pose as the protectors of the people against the so-called national 'parasites'" - Introduction.
