We always like to start the year off on a positive note and this show subject most certainly fits the bill. Betty White had a career in show business that lasted seven decades. She was one of America's sweethearts and won over the hearts of many in her prime-time roles. Just when you thought she was in her twilight years, she had a career resurgence like we've never seen before. She entertained us until she was in her 90's and the country mourned when she passed. But with all the people and characters she ran into during her career, was it all sunshine and roses? How did her co-stars feel about her? Was the beef with her and Bea Arthur real? We'll dive into all this and more in the Betty White episode of AHC Podcast.

Ahead of President Trump's return to The White House, Meta is replacing its US fact-checking program with a new “user-driven” approach called Community Notes. Angie Drobnic Holan, Director of the International Fact-Checking Network, explains the implications of this decision and whether decentralising moderation can effectively address misinformation. Piers Morgan, broadcaster and former host at Rupert Murdoch's News UK, has announced his decision to leave and focus on his YouTube channel. Julia Angwin, investigative journalist and fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, explains how this reflects the broader rise of independent content creators. Joey Contino, TikTok news influencer, shares how he has built a loyal following through accessible and direct reporting. Alessandra Galloni, Editor-in-Chief of Reuters, considers how traditional media organisations can adapt to these trends. Grand Theft Auto 6 is shaping up to be a landmark release in gaming history.

Exporturile de gaze naturale stârnesc polemici înainte chiar de momentul în care contractele vor fi derulate. Dar, exportul de materie primă energetică este o temă colaterală. Mult mai important ar fi ca guvernul să găsească soluțiile pentru ca gazul ce va fi extras din Marea Neagră să fie industrializat în țară. Câtă emoție a stârnit știrea că OMV Petrom a contractat către o companie germană o cantitate de gaze care va fi extrasă din perimetrul Neptun Deep, din Marea Neagră. Extragerea gazelor naturale din zona offshore ar trebui să înceapă în anul 2027, iar agenția Reuters a anunțat pe surse că OMV Petrom a încheiat cu Uniper, o companie energetică germană, un acord pentru livrarea unei cantități de 1,4 miliarde de metri cubi pentru o perioadă de cinci ani.Sunt două teme aici. Prima este că, în mod sigur, de fiecare dată când va veni vorba de exportul de gaze naturale va fi nevoie de explicații ample legate de contractele de vânzare-cumpărare. În următorii ani, subiectul exporturilor de materii prime energetice din România va rămâne deschis, sensibil la publicul larg și speculat din punct de vedere politic.O a doua temă este cea a înțelegerilor „pe sub masă” pentru acceptarea României în zona Schengen. „Ziarul financiar” a publicat un articol, sub semnătura redacției, în care erau citate surse anonime și se arăta că „iese la iveală prețul Schengenului, respectiv gazele din Marea Neagră vor merge în Austria și Germania”. Aș fi trecut lejer peste informație, dar ieri seară, în ediția electronică a ziarului, alături de alte câteva materiale publicistice citite de 485 de ori, de 376 de ori sau doar de 95 de ori exista articolul despre „prețul Schengen” accesat exact de 264.968 de ori. Un număr foarte mare. Este greu de spus câți dintre cei care au citit textul au crezut că intrarea României în Schengen s-a făcut pe baza unui „troc”, dar acesta este un subiect pentru autorități.Chestiunea strict tehnică este mai clară, iar ministrul energiei, Sebastian Burduja a adus o serie de precizări. Respectiv, cantitatea contractată de Petrom cu firma germană reprezintă doar 1% din producția totală estimată a zăcământului Neptun Deep. Adică, un procentaj nesemnificativ.Apoi, cele două companii care operează perimetrul Neptun Deep, Romgaz și OMV Petrom, au responsabilitatea propriilor decizii comerciale, dar legea are și o „frână” pentru situația în care statul român dorește să blocheze derularea unor contracte bilaterale.România este un producător european important de gaze naturale. Anul trecut, Olanda și România au împărțit primele două poziții, iar exploatarea perimetrelor din Marea Neagră va duce detașat producția locală pe primul loc la nivel european. În acest context, este clar că exportul de gaze naturale este o opțiune foarte bună pentru România, mai ales în contextul în care Uniunea Europeană vrea să elimine importurile din Rusia.Să fim realiști: vor exista în continuare tot felul de voci care vor contesta exportul românesc de gaze naturale. Dar, principala temă nu este exportul, ci utilizarea gazului natural în țară cu o valoare adăugată cât mai ridicată, iar statutul de cel mai important producător european va avantaja România pentru atragerea de investiții.În loc să discutăm la nesfărșit în termenii naționalismului economic despre exportul de gaz, mai bine autoritățile ar încuraja investițiile în centrale de producție a energiei electrice care folosesc gazele naturale. Așa cum este cazul centralei electrice de la Iernut, județul Mureș.Guvernul ar trebui să găsească soluții pentru atragerea investitorilor în industria chimică și în producția de îngrășăminte chimice. Romgaz și-a anunțat intențiile de a deveni furnizor de gaze și energie pentru consumatorii casnici. Foarte bine, dar, combustibilul primește valoare adăugată în industrii, nu în consumul gospodăriilor.Uniunea Europeană consumă din totalul cantității de gaze, 32% pentru producerea de energie electrică, 25% pentru gospodăriile populației și 24% pentru industrie. România ar trebui să se apropie de această structură. Dar, ar trebui ca prioritățile să fie concentrate pe investiții și nu măcinate de frici naționaliste că gazele din România vor merge în Europa.

(Ziarul Financiar) - Arhiepiscopul Teodosie pretinde că a fost „înregistrat din răzbunare” în timp ce cumpăra influența unui afacerist. Prelatul, filmat când negocia un comision de 160.000 de lei (Libertatea) Cum suflă PSD vânt în pânzele extremiștilor (SpotMedia)Dacă ar fi să ne mai încredem în deciziile luate în coaliție, primul tur al alegerilor prezidențiale ar trebui să aibă loc în 4 mai, al doilea în 18 mai, iar candidatul comun al celor trei partide rămâne Crin Antonescu.În același timp, pe surse aflăm ceea ce comunicarea oficială nu spune, și anume că validarea dlui Antonescu de către partide ar urma să fie făcută în funcție de rezultatul unor măsurători care vor fi realizate în perioada imediat următoare.Din start, este o dovadă de neseriozitate și lipsă de profesionalism. Cum să anunți oficial un candidat, să-i treci numele în protocolul unei coaliții de guvernare și abia apoi să te apuci să-l măsori ca să te lămurești dacă mai are sau nu tracțiune electorală?În cel mai bun caz, pare că au aruncat un nume la disperare, că să poată constitui coaliția, și apoi om mai vedea.Și dacă sondajele vor arăta rău?Pentru că există și această posibilitate.Ce vor face într-o astfel de situație? Vor schimba din nou candidatul? Doar candidatul sau și data alegerilor pentru a căuta altă variantă? O caută de pe acum? Toți? Ilie Bolojan și Kelemen Hunor nu par a juca la două capete. Pentru PSD e deja un brand.Și, de fapt, care e planul PSD? Să aibă propriul candidat? Va fi greu să-l impună coaliției dacă vrea să păstreze și funcția de premier.Filmulețul despre fraudarea alegerilor de către PSD prin donare de voturi către AUR pare a sugera că dl Ciolacu ar mai vrea să candideze o dată, cât timp, nu-i așa, nu ar fi pierdut de fapt la urne.Integral pe pagina SpotMedia.Operațiunea „stat mai suplu”. Ce face Musk în SUA vor să facă Ciolacu și Bolojan la noi. Aproape 40 de agenții, departamente și institute trebuiau deja comasate (HotNews)Guvernul va înființa, în perioada următoare, un departament pentru eficientizare guvernamentală, pe modelul inventat de DonaldTrump, care va fi condus de premierul Marcel Ciolacu și de șeful Senatului, Ilie Bolojan, după cum a anunțat, recent, ministrul Finanțelor, Tánczos Barna. În aparatul central al Guvernului există domenii pentru care funcționează în același timp mai multe agenții sau autorități, cu activități care se suprapun sau se completează. Unele sunt în subordinea directă a Executivului, altele sunt în coordonarea ministerelor și mai există și autorități sub controlul Parlamentului.În subordinea premierului și Secretariatului General al Guvernului (SGG) se află aproape 40 de entități guvernamentale (agenții, institute, administrații, comisii, oficii, departamente etc), potrivit datelor transmise de către SGG anul trecut, la solicitarea HotNews.O eficientizare guvernamentală trebuia realizată până la data de 30 iunie 2024, prin comasarea a cel puţin 20% din numărul de agenții, potrivit Legii 296/2023 privind unele măsuri fiscal-bugetare, însă acest lucru nu a fost realizat.Secretomania livrării gazelor din Marea Neagră: de ce a trebuit să apară o ştire pe surse ca să aflăm că gazele din Neptun Deep merg în Germania? De ce a ieşit Ministerul Energiei să anunţe abia a doua zi după ştirea publicată de Reuters? A fost făcută prima oară o ofertă statului român în baza dreptului de preempţiune? Dacă da, când şi cât? Dacă nu, de ce? (Ziarul Financiar)A trebuit să anunţe agenţia de ştiri Reuters pe surse ca să aflăm că o parte din gazele din Marea Neagră extrase de OMV Petrom (SNP) din perimetrul Neptun Deep, acolo unde are 50% fiind operator, vor merge în Germania la compania Uniper.Şi la 17 ore de la publicarea în Reuters ca să aibă şi Ministerul Energiei o primă reacţie pe subiect: „Un pas firesc în cadrul unui proiect de importanţă strategică pentru ţara noastră şi pentru Europa“.ZF reamintește că România are un consum anual de gaze de 8-9 miliarde de metri cubi, din care 1 miliard de metri cubi din Marea Neagră, iar restul prin OMV Petrom şi Romgaz prin exploatările on-shore (de pe ţărm – n. red.). În perimetrul Neptun Deep autorităţile şi companiile au estimat rezerve de gaze de 80-100 de miliarde de metri cubi cu un potenţial de 200 de miliarde de metri cubi.Arhiepiscopul Teodosie pretinde că a fost „înregistrat din răzbunare” în timp ce cumpăra influența unui afacerist. Prelatul, filmat când negocia un comision de 160.000 de lei (Libertatea)Teodosie Petrescu, Înaltpreasfințitul Arhiepiscop al Tomisului, a încercat în zadar să obțină restituirea la Parchet a dosarului în care este acuzat de cumpărare de influență, după ce a fost filmat în timp ce accepta să dea unui om de afaceri un comision din suma totală pe care acesta i-o promitea că o va obține de la stat pentru construirea unei biserici. Singura abordare pe care avocații au găsit-o a fost să susțină că filmarea a fost făcută „din răzbunare”, însă nu au reușit să îi convingă pe magistrați.Al treilea dosar penal deschis pe numele lui Teodosie Petrescu se află pe rolul Înaltei Curți, unde pe data de 15 ianuarie 2025 se va judeca o contestație a înaltului prelat împotriva hotărârii Curții de Apel Constanța, care pe data de 14 noiembrie 2024 a confirmat legalitatea rechizitoriului și a decis începerea judecății pentru cumpărare de influență.Continuarea în ziarul Libertatea.
The scientists said their new findings on the mixing and mating of the groups suggested the activities happened a little more recently than thought in the past. They believe the contact continued over many generations. 科学家们表示,他们关于这些群体混合和交配的新发现表明,这些活动发生的时间比过去想象的要晚一些。他们相信这种接触持续了好几代人。Priya Moorjani was co-writer of the study appearing in Science. She is an assistant professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley. She told Reuters, “Genetic data from these samples really helps us paint a picture in more and more detail.” Priya Moorjani 是发表在《科学》杂志上的这项研究的合著者。她是加州大学伯克利分校分子和细胞生物学助理教授。她告诉路透社,“这些样本的基因数据确实帮助我们越来越详细地描绘了一幅图景。” The team noted that it is difficult to know the exact nature of the interactions between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals based on the examined data. The researchers also could not confirm exactly where the mixing and mating happened. However, they believe it was most likely somewhere in the Middle East. 研究小组指出,根据检查的数据很难了解智人和尼安德特人之间相互作用的确切性质。研究人员也无法确定混合和交配发生的确切位置。然而,他们认为它很可能在中东某个地方。 The researchers noted most modern humans still have genetic material from Neanderthals that accounts for an estimated one to two percent of their DNA. They said modern-day genetic traits linked to skin color, hair color and even nose shape can relate back to the Neanderthals. Our genetic makeup also includes links to another group of human ancestors called Denisovans. 研究人员指出,大多数现代人类仍然拥有来自尼安德特人的遗传物质,估计占其 DNA 的百分之一到百分之二。他们说,与肤色、头发颜色甚至鼻子形状相关的现代遗传特征可以追溯到尼安德特人。我们的基因构成还包括与另一群人类祖先(丹尼索瓦人)的联系。 Moorjani noted that the history of Neanderthals living outside Africa for thousands of years likely gave them a greater ability to deal with climate and diseases in new environments. “Some of their genes may have been beneficial to modern humans,” she added. 穆尔贾尼指出,尼安德特人在非洲以外生活了数千年的历史可能使他们在新环境中应对气候和疾病的能力更强。“它们的一些基因可能对现代人类有益,”她补充道。 Rick Potts is director of the Smithsonian Institution's Human Origins program. He was not involved in the new research. Potts told The Associated Press he hopes future genetic studies can help scientists learn even more details about the interactions of Neanderthals and modern humans. 里克·波茨 (Rick Potts) 是史密森学会人类起源项目的主任。他没有参与这项新研究。波茨告诉美联社,他希望未来的基因研究能够帮助科学家了解更多关于尼安德特人和现代人类相互作用的细节。 He said, “Out of many really compelling areas of scientific investigation, one of them is: well, who are we?” 他说:“在许多真正引人注目的科学研究领域中,其中之一是:嗯,我们是谁?”

On Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ended months of speculation about his future, in a resignation speech outside his Rideau Cottage residence in Ottawa. Amid plummeting opinion polls, internal party pressure had been mounting for him to vacate the Liberal leadership, after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland dealt him what many saw as a decisive blow when she quit the government in December. So as the battle to replace Mr Trudeau gets underway, what does Canada's political landscape look like, with the Conservative opposition eagerly anticipating a looming election?On today's episode Sumi Somaskanda is joined by the BBC's Jessica Murphy in Toronto, and The Global Story reporter Peter Goffin. They discuss the Trudeau legacy, and the man poised to become the next long-term Prime Minister, Pierre Poilievre. Plus, the impact of a new Trump administration across the border.The Global Story brings you trusted insights from BBC journalists worldwide.

Scientists have used ancient genes to learn more details about contact between Neanderthals and humans tens of thousands of years ago. 科学家利用古代基因来了解数万年前尼安德特人与人类接触的更多细节。Results of two recent studies estimate the two groups likely met and began mating about 45,000 years ago. 最近两项研究的结果估计,这两个群体很可能在大约 45,000 年前相遇并开始交配。 Modern humans – also known as Homo sapiens – began in Africa hundreds of thousands of years ago and later started spreading to Europe, Asia and other places. Scientists believe that at some point, they met and mated with Neanderthals. The mixing of these groups had a major influence on humans' genetic code. 现代人类(也称为智人)数十万年前起源于非洲,后来开始传播到欧洲、亚洲和其他地方。科学家认为,在某个时候,他们与尼安德特人相遇并交配。这些群体的混合对人类的遗传密码产生了重大影响。 However, scientists do not know exactly when or how the two groups interacted. But the two new studies provide some additional details about the timing of this contact. 然而,科学家们并不确切知道这两个群体何时或如何相互作用。但这两项新研究提供了有关这次接触时间的一些额外细节。 One group of scientists examined genetic material from three female and three male Homo sapien individuals who lived around 45,000 years ago. Reuters news agency reported that research involved the oldest genes from Homo sapiens ever examined, or sequenced. 一组科学家检查了生活在 45,000 年前的三名女性和三名男性智人的遗传物质。路透社报道称,这项研究涉及迄今为止检查或测序过的智人最古老的基因。 Some of the genes came from bones found in a cave in the central German village of Ranis. Other material came from a woman believed to have lived at around the same time in a cave in a mountainous area of what is now the Czech Republic. 一些基因来自在德国中部拉尼斯村庄的一个洞穴中发现的骨头。其他材料来自一位妇女,据信她大约在同一时期住在现在捷克共和国山区的一个洞穴里。Researchers estimated the period of mixing between Neanderthals and humans at about 49,000 to 45,000 years ago. The findings were recently published in a study in Nature. 研究人员估计尼安德特人和人类的混合时期约为 49,000 至 45,000 年前。该研究结果最近发表在《自然》杂志上的一项研究中。 A second group of researchers examined genetic material from 300 present-day and ancient Homo sapiens. This included 59 individuals who lived between 2,000 and 45,000 years ago. That study, published in the journal Science, estimated the period of mixing at about 50,500 to 43,500 years ago. 第二组研究人员检查了 300 名现代和古代智人的遗传物质。其中包括生活在 2,000 至 45,000 年前的 59 个人。这项发表在《科学》杂志上的研究估计,混合时期约为 50,500 至 43,500 年前。

It's Tuesday, January 7th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Islam is the number one threat to Christians today International Christian Concern has issued their Global Persecution Index for 2024 — placing the countries of Nigeria,Niger, Sudan, Congo, Eritrea, Somalia, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and North Korea at the highest level “where Christians are regularly tortured and killed for their faith.” Each of these, except North Korea, is an Islamic country. As an ideology, Islam has replaced communism as the most serious threat to Christians in the world. Abortion is leading cause of death worldwide Referring to data from Worldometer, Breitbart News announced that abortion was the leading cause of deaths in 2024. A record of 45 million babies died at this count. That compares to 8.2 million people who died from cancer, 5 million from smoking, 1.7 million from HIV/AIDS, 1.35 million from traffic fatalities, and 1.1 million people died from suicide. Kamala Harris certifies Trump's presidential victory Here in the United States, the November presidential election results were certified by the U.S. Senate on Monday, reports NBC News. Ironically, Vice President Kamala Harris, the presidential loser, had the unenviable task as President of the Senate of certifying that her opponent, Donald Trump, won the election in a landslide. Trump is set to become the 47th President of the United States come January 20th. Notice that when she announces Trump's name the Republicans burst out in a cheer and a standing ovation. Not to be outdone, the Democrats applaud Kamala when she announces her electoral vote total. Listen. HARRIS: “The state of the vote for the president of the United States, as delivered to the President of the Senate, is as follows. The whole number of the electors appointed to vote for President of the United States is 538. Within that whole number, the majority is 270. “The votes for president of the United States are as follows: Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida, has received 312 votes. Kamala D. Harris…” (Republicans applaud) (Harris bangs the gavel twice) HARRIS: “Kamala D. Harris of the state of California has received 226 votes.” (Democrats applaud) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigns After months of abysmal polling predicting a massive Conservative victory in the fall 2025 Canadian presidential election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced yesterday that he intends to resign as Prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party, reports Reuters. TRUDEAU: “I intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide competitive process. Last night, I asked the president of the Liberal Party to begin that process. This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it has become clear to me that if I am having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election.” Trudeau, age 53, took office in November 2015 with a message of hope and "sunny ways" and won re-election twice, becoming one of Canada's longest-serving prime ministers and winning plaudits from liberals for his focus on gender parity policies. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who is running for Prime Minister, offered this reaction. POILIEVRE: “Canadians desperate to turn the page on this dark chapter in our history might be relieved today that Justin Trudeau is finally leaving. But what has really changed? Every liberal [Member of Parliament] in power today and every potential liberal leadership contender, fighting for the top job, helped Justin Trudeau break the country over the last nine years. “All liberal politicians actively worked to pass into law the job-killing, inflationary carbon tax, a tax that Carbon Tax [Mark] Carney endorsed in his book. All supported a law quadrupling the tax over the next five years. All voted for or actively supported Trudeau's out-of-control spending, debt, and immigration. All passed Trudeau's housing policies that doubled the cost of homes. All liberal politicians helped pass catch-and-release bail and house arrest for the most rampant re-offenders, policies that increased violent crime 50%, gun crime 116%, and hate crime by 250%. “So, given that liberal [Members of Parliament] and leadership contenders unanimously supported everything Trudeau has done, why dump him now, right before an election? “Have they had a change of heart? Is it because they feel guilty that they doubled housing costs, hiked taxes, unleashed crime, broke immigration, forced a quarter of the population into poverty? No! They continued supporting Trudeau when he did all of those things. No, their only objection is that he is no longer popular enough to win an election and keep them in power.” Biden awards evolutionists, socialists and God-haters Evolutionists, socialists, and opponents of Christianity received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Joe Biden, as he prepared to leave office, reports USA Today. Jane Goodall and Bill Nye, the Evolutionist Guy, received the award. Also receiving the top citizen award included Hillary Clinton and George Soros, the man responsible for persecuting Christians and conservatives through Right Wing Watch and People for the American Way. Proverbs 28:4 reminds us that “Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.” Massive snow storm cancels 1,300 flights That massive snow storm across Kansas and eastern states, has closed down flights. In God's providence, over 1,300 flights were cancelled. Manhattan, Kansas was blanketed with 15 inches of snow, the second highest snowfall in history for the city. 6 states stockpile Abortion Kill Pills Some states are collecting bullets, or rather Abortion Kill Pills, to murder as many babies as possible. The Center for American Progress has announced that six states have stockpiled at least 2.25 million abortion pills in case the new Trump administration moves to restrict the distribution of these murderous devices. The six states are California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Massachusetts, and Maryland. TV viewership is down The cable news channels are languishing. Fox News Channel averaged 2.4 million viewers during primetime last year — compared to CNN's 685,000 and MSNBC's 1.5 million. The big three networks -- ABC, CBS, and NBC -- claimed 13 million viewers during primetime hours in 2024, representing an increase of about 10% from 2023, but down from 21 million viewers seven years ago. Golden Globes honors 2 movie flops on transgendering and rape And finally, The Golden Globes lavished their awards over the weekend -- this time upon a film centered around the theme of transgendering a male, reports the Associated Press. The R-rated movie “Emilia Perez” received four awards, but the film never played in American theaters —and only took in $9 million worldwide. That compares to the Kendrick Brothers' Christian film “The Forge” released last year — which earned over $40 million in worldwide box office receipts! Another unknown film “The Brutalist” took home three major awards, but barely made $1 million in the box office. The film lived up to its name with ample scenes of rape, nudity, vile language, homosexuality, and drug use. Indeed, in the words of 1 John 2:17, Hollywood and “the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, January 7th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

The history of antisemitism in Europe stretches back as far as Ancient Rome, but persecutions of Jews became widespread during the Crusades, beginning in the early 11th century when the wholesale massacre of entire communities became commonplace. From the 12th century, the justification for this state-sanctioned violence became the blood libel accusation: the idea that Jews ritually murdered Christian children and used their blood in the celebration of Passover. Nowhere in Europe was the blood libel more tenacious, credible, and long lived than in the Russian Empire, particularly during the late Imperial period, which saw large scale pogroms and harsh restrictions visited upon the empire's Jewish population. The Russian Revolution of 1917 attracted many Jews to its cause, thanks in large measure to Bolshevik condemnations of antisemitism and persecution of the Jewish minority. These numbers grew in the wake of the brutal Civil War that followed from 1918 - 1922 when the White Army revived the pogrom with particular vigor. What happened after the Bolshevik victory is the subject of Elissa Bemporad's new book, Legacy of Blood: Jews, Pogroms, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the Soviets (Oxford UP, 2019), which won the National Jewish Book Award (Modern Jewish Thought and Experience). Bemporad probes the underbelly of the "Soviet myth"— that the USSR had eradicated the pogroms, banished the notion of a blood libel to the scrapheap of other opiates for the people, and vanquished antisemitism as part of the regime's broad anti-religious campaign — and discovers that both pogroms and the blood libel had a robust afterlife in the USSR. As she traces changing attitudes towards Jews in the USSR, Bemporad also examines the uneasy and often ambivalent but mutually dependent, and ever-shifting relationship between the regime and the Jewish population as the Soviet century unfolds. Legacy of Blood looks at the re-emergence of overt antisemitism in the occupied territories of the USSR during World War II and the troubled return of the Jews to mainstream society after the war.

The history of antisemitism in Europe stretches back as far as Ancient Rome, but persecutions of Jews became widespread during the Crusades, beginning in the early 11th century when the wholesale massacre of entire communities became commonplace. From the 12th century, the justification for this state-sanctioned violence became the blood libel accusation: the idea that Jews ritually murdered Christian children and used their blood in the celebration of Passover. Nowhere in Europe was the blood libel more tenacious, credible, and long lived than in the Russian Empire, particularly during the late Imperial period, which saw large scale pogroms and harsh restrictions visited upon the empire's Jewish population. The Russian Revolution of 1917 attracted many Jews to its cause, thanks in large measure to Bolshevik condemnations of antisemitism and persecution of the Jewish minority. These numbers grew in the wake of the brutal Civil War that followed from 1918 - 1922 when the White Army revived the pogrom with particular vigor. What happened after the Bolshevik victory is the subject of Elissa Bemporad's new book, Legacy of Blood: Jews, Pogroms, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the Soviets (Oxford UP, 2019), which won the National Jewish Book Award (Modern Jewish Thought and Experience). Bemporad probes the underbelly of the "Soviet myth"— that the USSR had eradicated the pogroms, banished the notion of a blood libel to the scrapheap of other opiates for the people, and vanquished antisemitism as part of the regime's broad anti-religious campaign — and discovers that both pogroms and the blood libel had a robust afterlife in the USSR. As she traces changing attitudes towards Jews in the USSR, Bemporad also examines the uneasy and often ambivalent but mutually dependent, and ever-shifting relationship between the regime and the Jewish population as the Soviet century unfolds. Legacy of Blood looks at the re-emergence of overt antisemitism in the occupied territories of the USSR during World War II and the troubled return of the Jews to mainstream society after the war.
