| On Symptoms – Important, Yet Secondary Things |
| 04.09.2012 |
This was a brilliant provocation. The so-called legislative initiative “On the Foundations of State Language Policy” had, of course, been a distraction, an incredibly stinky smoke screen, something like the red cape, used by the agile matador, sword already raised, to distract the bull. The “language question” is not the cause of the disease, but a mere symptom – but we are so often more interested in the symptoms (such as a rash) than their cause (metabolic activity, if not syphilis). This is why, even though the causes are more important, this article is about the symptoms – things which are important, yet secondary, or, to use a fashionable word, derivatives. |

| Kirill and Gavriil: the Media, the Teaching of the Church, and “Blood Libel” |
| 29.08.2012, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism |
[...] Let the mistake of using the Russian imperial administrative territorial division in the context of the XVII century be on the heads of the journalists, even though this mistake is in many ways telling. But blood libel in the news of the leading Russian state channel is harder to let pass. Even the loyal Federation of Jewish Communities of Russian (FJCR) has expressed its “great surprise and disappointment at the unprofessional and bizarre comment of the “Russia 24” channel, one of the leading Russian media outlets, on the visit of the Holy Patriarch of Moscow and All the Rus' Kirill to the Nikolsky Cathedral Church in the city of Belostok.” |

| What are we doing in a concentration camp? |
| 14.06.2012, Education |
The European Football Championship, which is into its second week in Poland and Ukraine, is quite amply showing that there is no sport without politics. But the championship had not even begun yet when the scandalous exchange of infuriated retorts between the leaders of the German national team and the President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany Dieter Graumann took place. |

| Problems of Emigration of Russian-Speaking Israelis in the Context of Israel's Political Situation: Myths and Reality |
| 06.06.2012, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism |
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in topics connected to the local Russian-speaking community. The pretext for the discussion was the report of the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute (JPPPI), which had been presented to the Knesset Committee on Aliyah and Absorption on May 22, 2012. According to this report, approximately 80 thousand Russian-speaking citizens of Israel, who initially arrived in the country in the 1990s, have now emigrated out of it again. The authors of the report and the members of the committee hold the opinion, widely circulated in Israel's media, that the main reason for this deflux was that these people were not accepted as Jews in Israel, and that their economic problems played a much smaller part. |

| Political Parties and Groups among the Jews of Poland and Western Ukraine in 1919–1939 |
| 26.04.2012, Education |
From the editor: the political spectrum of the Jewish organizations that emerged in Poland between the two wars became to a large degree the main factor in forming the range of views and opinions of the future of the Jewish life not only in the Diaspora but even in the yishuv. Therefore, we thought the political life of the Polish Jews in the above-mentioned years is of more than just regional significance and would be of interest to our readers. |

| Jews of India: Past and Present |
| 17.04.2012, Education |
The number of several thousand Jews living in India is incommensurable with the almost 1.5 billion population of this country. One could assume that Jewish people remained unnoticed in the life of such a big South Asian sub-continent but let us assure you that such conclusion is at odds with reality. The Jews of India did not only create several unique versions of the Jewish religious and cultural model that developed in the unusual for the Jewish history Hindu-Muslim environment, but they also claimed their right to be fully-fledged element of the Indian society, at least, in the states of Maharashtra and Kerala. |

| 15.04.2012, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism |
The tragic incident that happened on April 8th to a Kyiv yeshiva student had immediately become the focus of attention both for the community and the mass media. As the incident led to heavy, life-threatening physical trauma for the young man, and as it received such a wide resonance, it is very important to leave aside emotions and unfounded fantasies, and use the information given to us by the law enforcement agencies and other sources to attempt to reconstruct what actually took place. |
