The History of a Lie Part 10

CHAPTER SIX

THE BLACK HUNDREDS, THEIR DUPES AND CRIMES

Russia in 1905-The Unsuccessful Revolution-The Reaction and the Reactionaries-Lutostansky and His Work-The "Symbolic Snake" According to Lutostansky-Who Plagiarized?-Lutostansky on the English People-Are the English the "Lost Tribes"?-How the Protocols Were "Doctored" by Butmi-Conclusion.

As the writings of Sergius Nilus are typical of the "literature"

produced under the auspices of the Russian Black Hundred organizations which sought to save the Czar's throne by pogroms, I examined a large number of publications brought out in Russia during the period when "the Russian Mystic," Sergius Nilus, published his pretended discovery, the "Protocols." His book, "The Great in the Small and anti-Christ,"

appeared in 1905 after the Russo-j.a.panese War, when the Russian revolutionists made an attempt to overthrow the Czar's government. A new organization was formed for the support of the Russian throne. It was known as "the Union of the Russian People,"-"the Black Hundred,"-whose program was Jew-baiting. It was then that Russia adopted a definite, anti-Jewish policy of vengeance-a pogrom policy. The "Black Hundred"

held the Jews responsible for Russia's defeat in the war and for the attempted revolution,-and neither the Czar nor his loyal organization of the "Black Hundred" ever forgave Count Sergius Witte, who won for Russia at the Portsmouth Peace Conference what she had lost on the battlefields, for inducing Nicholas II to grant a const.i.tution to Russia. "The Black Hundreds" nicknamed Witte "the Jewish Count of Portsmouth." They attacked him and attempted to a.s.sa.s.sinate him. They a.s.sa.s.sinated at that time two Jewish members of the Duma, Yollos and Hertzenstein. It was during that period of Judophobomania that Sergius Nilus published his book introducing the "Protocols" in Russia.
