A Special Russian Truth
How Soviet Antisemitic Propaganda Lives Today
A Special Russian Truth uncovers how a calculated Soviet disinformation campaign—engineered decades ago by the KGB to demonize Israeli statehood and sow division in the United States—planted the seeds of today’s anti-Israel rhetoric. Through first-person testimony and rigorous historical analysis, this eye-opening short film reveals the antisemitic roots behind familiar tropes, equipping viewers to distinguish propaganda from legitimate critique in the context of today’s conflicts. Featuring first-person testimony from respected historians, academicians, and peace activists from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds, this short film provides viewers with concrete tools to recognize professionally crafted antisemitic tropes and understand their historical context, distinct from legitimate political critique.
