BLOOD LIBEL – MENAHEM BEILIS AND LITTLE ANDREI

In 1911, a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy Andrei Yushchinsky (above) disappeared.

Eight days later his mutilated body was discovered in a cave near a local brick factory.

A non-religious jew called Menahem Beilis (above) was arrested after a lamplighter testified that the boy had been kidnapped by a Jew.

Menahem Beilis spent more than two years in prison awaiting trial.

In 1911, Tsar Nicholas II visited Kiev.

This was a month after the arrest of Mendel Beilis.

The Russian elite had a fear of certain Jewish revolutionaries.

Between 1905 and 1916 the government allowed over 14 million copies of 3,000 ‘antisemitic’ books to be printed, including the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Reportedly, Russia’s Interior Minister Nikolai Maklakov (above) provided money to bribe witnesses in the Beilis case.

Russia’s chief minister was Peter Stolypin.

In 1911, in the Kiev opera house, in front of the Tsar, Stolypin was assassinated.

The assassin Bogrov, a Jewish student Socialist Revolutionary, was a police informer.

He was executed ‘before any questions could be asked.’

Russia had a terrorism problem.

Stolypin had waged a campaign against the ‘terrorists’ and over a thousand ‘terrorists’ had been hanged in 1906-07.

Stolypin’s enemies were not just Jewish communists, but also “Constitutional Democrats, redundant officials, disgruntled landowners, Poles, Finns, court reactionaries” and many others.

Beilis was acquitted by the all-Christian jury.

Reportedly, the jury considered that although Beilis was innocent, Andrei might have been subjected to ritual murder by some other group.
