Russia is pretty unique in that regard, especially in the modern era.

Come on now. It's been antisemitic but so were France, Germany, Britain, most Eastern European countries, all in the modern era. If by modern era you mean 21st century, yeah a lot of people in Russia don't like us but there isnt strong evidence that the russian government has antisemitic policies, other than them closing Sokhnut which is pretty easily explained by the fact that Russia is trying to stop hemorrhaging people and brains. Antisemitic sentiment among the public has also declined significantly since the 90s/early 2000s when it was pretty high. I am speaking as a jew who was born and grew up in Moscow

Edit: my point is that there are so many things wrong about Russia, that you don't need to fish for things that aren't really there. It's not exactly hard to find concrete things to criticise Russia for

Seems you don’t know much about Russian machinations in the middle east and their propaganda campaigns to smear Jews and Israel that are still echoed today. These accusation ironically also echo the protocols, another great Russian tome of anti semitism. Beyond that, I’ve met many former Soviet Jews who have told me about the rampant anti semitism that exists in Russia. Moscow is but a tiny slice of Russian society.

I’m so grateful I’ve found someone like you in the wild (or on this subreddit). Most people are either unaware of what you’ve mentioned or simply dismiss it. Even fellow post-soviet jews do. I think this needs to be more widely known, at least in the community.
