| Biography/History note | The Protocols of the wise men of Zion is a work that was first published in 1903 in Znamya, a Saint Petersburg daily newspaper, claiming that Jews and Freemasons planned to employ liberalism and socialism to disrupt the Christian world order. In a series of articles in 1921, the Times of London demonstrated the Protocols' resemblance to a French satire on Napoleon III, revealing the Protocols' fraudulent nature and anti-Semitic intent. Later research identified the Russian secret police as the work's authors. |

Britannica academic, viewed online 22 March 2022: (Protocols of the Elders of Zion: fraudulent document that served as a pretext and rationale for anti-Semitism, purported to be a report of a series of meetings in Basel, Switzerland in 1897, the time of the first Zionist congress, where Jews and Freemasons plotted to disrupt Christian civilization and rule the world; in 1921 Philip Graves of the The Times of London demonstrated the resemblance of the Protocols to French lawyer Maurice Joly's 1864 satire on Napoleon III, Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu; Russian historian Vladimir Burtsev identified the Russian secret police as forgers of the Protocols, which were based on Joly's satire and a fantastic novel, Biarritz (1868), by Hermann Goedsche, and other works) |
