Did there exist a Worldwide Judeo-Masonic Conspiracy? Why did so many Jews participate in the revolutionary movement of Russia? Did state anti-Semitism exist in the Soviet Union?.. There are many questions and stereotypes generated by the two-thousand-year history of the relationship between Jewry and Christianity, two centuries of Russian-Jewish relations.

The book by historian A.M. Burovsky - bright in style, fascinating in presentation - gives its own, sometimes controversial, unexpected answers to these and many other questions, covering a huge period - from biblical times to the present day.
