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.

"This film is a vital tool in addressing global antisemitsm and anti-Zionism. It exposes the Soviet propaganda that still shapes much of today’s discourse, making it essential viewing for students everywhere."
“A Special Russian Truth is a timely and insightful exploration of the roots of antisemitism today. This should be required viewing for everyone, particularly students, as part of the ongoing societal effort to break through false narratives."
"A Special Russian Truth originated from my conversations with young Jewish adults who voiced frustrations with how easily modern day anti-Israel expression incorporated traditional antisemitic themes. What they lacked was an appreciation of the origins and nature of these accusations. With this short film, I hope to bridge the gap of understanding for both Jews and non-Jews, and create honest questions and deep discussions that will bring people closer together on how to discuss political conflict and achieve mutual understanding."
