There's Been a George Soros for Every Era of Anti-Semitic Panic
Its been largely forgotten, but when Russian military intelligence created online cutouts in 2016 to manipulate the American electorate, the Democratic Party wasnt its only target.
The most prominent of those fake digital identities was Guccifer 2.0, which took credit for hacking the Democratic National Committee and then provided the pilfered information to WikiLeaks. The other was called DCLeaks. On Aug. 29, 2016, two months after the DNC hack became public, DCLeaks now-banned Twitter account told its followers to check out another of its projects: Find Soros files on soros.dcleaks.com.
Visitors to the now-shuttered site could find purported documents from the billionaire philanthropists Open Society Foundations, which promote liberal values and democratization. They had file names like public health program access to medicine and youth exchange my city real world. But before those curious about the leaks got there, the Russians wanted to put George Soros in a particular context.
The homepage displayed a photo illustration of a smug-looking Soros in the midst of four scenes of street chaos whose apparent perpetrators were conspicuously nonwhite. They were taken from the Ferguson, Missouri, protests in 2014, the birthplaceto the consternation of many white Americans whom the Kremlin sought to cultivateof the contemporary civil rights movement. In both the image and the accompanying text, the Russians portrayed Soros as the puppet master.
Soros is named as the architect and sponsor of almost every revolution and coup around the world for the last 25 years. Thanks to him and his puppets USA is thought to be a vampire, not a lighthouse of freedom and democracy, the website proclaimed. The oligarch who sired the U.S. vampire, and whose slaves spill blood of millions and millions people just to make him even more rich [sic], had a particular background the Russians highlighted in the very first sentence: Soros is of Hungarian-Jewish ancestry and holds dual citizenship.

All this anti-capitalist rhethoric of the Alt-Right and how they are rebels against the establishment... What they really mean is that they are against this jewish conspiracy they are imagining.
