Clever and cunning, [they] know how to creep into the souls of others, how to get the simple and good people to trust them, and how to hide their intentions behind seemingly good words. They’ve made a lot of noise in our cities, at various meetings, have caused more than a few problems in newspapers, have penetrated, unfortunately, into the benighted village, and into factories. . . . They seduce the most vulnerable with promises . . . they promise everyone some kind of freedom; in a word, heaven on earth. . . . What do they care for the Orthodox Russian people? . . . Holy Russia is not the native motherland for them. It’s not Holy Russia, but simply a foreign country, where they’ve lived well until now.

“We are children of our country, and they are only guests,” the pamphlet continued. “[W]e built and constructed our native Rus′ with our blood and the blood of our ancestors; we should protect her from everything that is contrary to the Russian spirit, remain loyal to our native antiquity.”64 As the civic society of the southwest mobilized, these visions of illiberal liberation—which insisted that the children of Rus′ could flourish only once the Jews who had allegedly oppressed and dominated them had been contained—assumed an ever more prominent role in local political culture.
