(Jewish Group) Russia has used antisemitism as a political weapon for years

In 2008, thousands of secret KGB documents were declassified in Ukraine. The files detailed horrific crimes against humanity by the Soviet Union in the 1930s during the mass famine.

But they also revealed evidence of how Russian intelligence agencies falsified reports and fabricated witness statements against Ukrainian liberation insurgents. In essence, they accused the Ukrainian nationalists of crimes that they demonstrably never committed.

One of these fake crimes was the murder of vast numbers of Jews. The dossier disclosed in devastating detail how the KGB falsified testimony.

This discovery was so significant that Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, then head of the Ukrainian security service, flew to Tel Aviv and delivered the files to his counterpart in Mossad and the Israel minister of Public Security.
