The so-called Jewish question, which is more than one thousand years old, has survived to this day. What is the secret of its centuries-old existence? Attempts to resolve this issue have been made at different times in different countries. They are being done even now. The outstanding thinker of our time, Igor Rostislavovich Shafarevich, having studied the Jewish question, came to the conclusion that it always arose when it came to the seizure of power. This was the case in Egypt and Persia, in Rome and Ancient Khazaria, and in the not so distant past in Russia.
