An anti-Semitic letter is being circulated among public figures in Ukraine. The document, reportedly signed up to 100 well-known personalities including two lawmakers, calls on authorities and the Supreme Court to investigate the activities of Jewish organizations in Ukraine. The letter accuses Jewish groups of undermining Ukraine’s independence and destroying its "national character". The letter was sent to the president, Viktor Yushchenko, the speaker of parliament, Vladimir Litvin, and the chairman of the country’s supreme court, the magazine "Personal Plus" has reported this week. The authors of the letter demand that the Ukrainian parliament hold a special hearing on the activities of Jewish organizations and that leaders of “organized Jewry” be stripped of state awards they received from former president Leonid Kuchma. Experts believe the letter tries to replicate a document circulated in Russia earlier this year.
