How on earth can you claim that the Jews in the Ukraine "oppressed" the Cossacks and that is the reason for the pogroms?==
It is not me who claims it. It is Khmelnitskii cossacks who claimed it. Those claims is noted by thier historians.
They complained that jews was "factors" (means the
managers) of polish landlords. And Ukranian cossacks was double exploited by polish landlord and jews.
Jews held alckogol trades in Ukraine and sped alhogolism between them. And jews gave the money under high interest so created poverty.
It is not my words but the words of ukranian historians.
There are people on this thread, whose family history says otherwise. And ALL books, available outside of what was once the USSR corroborate their posts. You weren't alive, when these things happened, neither were the posters, but their family members were and they have NO reason to lie; unlike the sources you are using.
What's the excuse for the terrible alcoholism, in the 1930s through today, then? Isn't what you're saying, just an excuse? The Jews, of old, held guns to the heads of those old Cossacks and made then drink, did they? They did it to Rasputin too, I assume, based on your egregious post.
What a load of garbage!
Oh yes, the old "money lender" canard, I see. So now, let me get this straight....ALL Jews in the Ukraine were rich, they oppressed the bloody Cossacks, they forced Christian to become alcoholics, and they also bleed them dry with usury. Except for the alcoholism bit, that's all right out of "THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION", which is nothing but lies.
They ARE your words,now, because you've posted them and they are all libelous, erroneous, spurious drivel.
