INSIGHTFUL BACKGROUND OF THE INVISIBLE KHAZARIA

No. 2015 / 19, 05/27/2015

We have resumed the work of the publishing house “Association of Soviet Writers”. Founded during the "glasnost" of Gorbachev's "perestroika", it worked under the auspices of the Voluntary Society of Book Lovers of Russia and specialized in publishing books banned by Soviet censorship.

The publishing house existed until the default in 1998. We decided to resume our work with the publication of a completely unique bestseller - the manuscript of the historical novel “The Third Temple of Solomon, or the Secret of Khazaria” by Alexander Baigushev , banned in Soviet times.

It has now been declassified that the Soviet author - prose writer and literary critic, who wrote under the crafty pseudonym Baigushev (in Khazar "baigush" means "impoverished") - is actually Alexander Innokentievich Prokhorov , and he is from the class of "formers". The grandson of a Russian millionaire manufacturer from the Korcheva-Kimry Old Believer branch of the Prokhorov merchant-manufacturers, the founders of the Russian textile industry. And in Soviet times, he, naturally, hid his class origin from the “former” ones and wrote in official questionnaires that, according to his social status, he was supposedly from the workers.

He had reasons to hide his origins. He worked for the “red web” - this is how the highly secret strategic intelligence of the Third International was coded, spreading its sticky web throughout the world. Of course, the “gray eminence” of the Kremlin, the chief ideologist of the Politburo, Mikhail Suslov, who took the young writer Baigushev under his wing, knew about the real social origin of the imaginary Baigushev. But Suslov himself hid to himself (with Stalin’sconsent !) that he was also from the “former”: like Stalin, he was also from the clergy class. Suslov wrote in his questionnaires that he was supposedly from the peasantry.

Of course, the KGB did some digging and reported to Suslov that Baigushev was making mistakes in his profile. But Suslov asked the KGB not to interfere in the affairs of the “red web”. He explained that it was precisely such a person with extensive family ties among the Soviet “formers”, including even among the anti-Soviet Russian emigration behind the Iron Curtain, that the “red web”, which he, Suslov, oversees as the main ideologist, needed Politburo. And... in the Khrushchev “thaw” in 1956, he took a young writer, the milk on his lips had not dried, although he had already published a lot noisily in the central press (especially in the newspapers Moskovsky Komsomolets and Komsomolskaya Pravda), under his own wing: appointing the venerable writer Ilya Ehrenburg as his secret unofficial assistant-consultant .

A venerable writer with a revolutionary past and huge connections abroad - behind the Iron Curtain, Ilya Ehrenburg successfully worked for the “red web” even under Lenin , and then under Stalin. He worked in the system of the global cosmopolitan Communist International. But Stalin formally dissolved the Comintern, an eyesore to the West, during the Great Patriotic War under the suppression of the allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. However, he secretly preserved the “red web”, passing it on to Suslov.

The “Red Web” (it was also called “party intelligence”) was positioned even higher in status than the KGB. But she always worked only in deep secrecy - even in her own country, as in foreign countries, observing the strictest rules of secrecy. Agents of the “red web” always acted “undercover”. They were recruited from people of free professions - writers, journalists, artists, musicians, athletes. To make it easier for them, without arousing suspicion, to travel freely around the country and around the world and collect the necessary strategic information. Ilya Erenburg has long been an ideal figure in the role of coordinator of the “red web”. The Jews formed the core of the “red web” with their cosmopolitan spirit of “citizens of the world”, which they were forced to become, having lost their Promised Homeland in the 1st century AD and were doomed to a tragic “dispersion” throughout the world, where they were sometimes received very cruelly – they were placed in a “ghetto”, forced to wear a shameful yellow patch on their back, and even subjected to a “holocaust” (“burnt offering”).

Stalin did not like Jews. But for Ilya Gershevich Ehrenburg, Stalin made an exception. Stalin had two special favorite Jews - Kaganovich and Ehrenburg. And in his memoirs, Ehrenburg was terribly proud that it was he who managed to dissuade Stalin from the repressive mass eviction of “Jews” for the “Doctors’ Case” from Moscow to Birobidzhan, although the echelons had already been brought up.

Ehrenburg seemed to be necessary even after the death of Stalin - under Khrushchev . It was Ehrenburg, immediately after the historic 20th Congress of the CPSU in 1956, at which Stalin’s “cult of personality” was scandalously exposed, who promptly in the same year wrote, at the request of the “red web” (Suslov), the much-publicized story “The Thaw”, which immediately gave the name to everything Khrushchev period. Khrushchev was worried that he did not have Stalin's authority. But Ehrenburg made Stalin’s time seem icy, like the icy kingdom of the “Snow Queen” in Andersen’s fairy tale , and depicted that with the advent of Khrushchev, a “thaw” supposedly began in the country.

Khrushchev seized on Ehrenburg’s idea and in his propaganda proclaimed precisely the “thaw.” Khrushchev’s idea of a “thaw” was actively supported by young people of the sixties. Including an active Komsomol writer, a university friend of Khrushchev’s son-in-law Adzhubey.

But Khrushchev was terrified of revenge from the offended old “Stalinists.” And he hastened to free himself from the stubborn Stalinists in the personnel “nomenclature” of the highest echelon of the party, replacing them with active “sixties” - Komsomol members from the university friends of his son-in-law Alexei Adzhubey . Khrushchev made his son-in-law the editor-in-chief of first Komsomolskaya Pravda, then Izvestia. And many of Adzhubey's university friends quickly went on to dazzling careers.

Baigushev, although he was young and had no experience, came in very handy to replace the seemingly reoriented, but terribly influential and therefore dangerous old man Ehrenburg. When approving the Politburo, they took into account that the young but smart writer studied at the screenwriting department of VGIK, where he was taught to cook up “iron scripts” according to the Hollywood model (and “iron scripts” are used not only in cinema to fool TV viewers, but also in geopolitics, for which is monitored by strategic intelligence). But most importantly, in 1956, Baigushev had already graduated from the elite “Western” Romano-Germanic department of the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University, which, let’s reveal a secret, among other things, trained professional intelligence officers to work among the artistic intelligentsia behind the Iron Curtain. By the way, let me remind you that the head of President Putin’s administration and Putin’s wife also graduated from the elite Romano-Germanic department, albeit from Leningrad University.

That is, Baigushev already had excellent professional training to work for strategic intelligence. In addition, it was Ilya Erenburg who was Baigushev’s opponent in defending his closed diploma at Moscow State University on artistic avant-gardeism, which was banned in the USSR, but remained terribly popular in the West. So old Ehrenburg also did not object to the candidacy of his successor in the “red web” and conscientiously transferred his agent connections to Baigushev.

But how did it happen that a “plainclothes writer” - an employee of top secret strategic intelligence - suddenly wrote a scandalous, completely seditious historical novel, “The Third Temple of Solomon.” Looking for popularity in a dissident environment?

Here you just need to know that Alexander Innokentievich Baigushev from his youth was literally obsessed with the mysteries of the history of Ancient Rus'. And Baigushev, while still a schoolboy, became especially interested in the relationship between the ancient Russians and the “mysterious Khazars,” who in the Middle Ages were Turks (Huns), but not pagans or Muslims, but those who accepted the Jewish faith. A unique case in history.

I have been close friends with Baigushev all my life. Already since 1948. Even under Stalin, since 1948, he and I attended a circle on archeology and history of Ancient Rus' at the State Historical Museum on Red Square. In fact, it was - imagine! - a disguised, semi-underground circle on the history of baptism and the formation of Holy Rus'. It would seem that this was unthinkable in the officially programmatically atheistic Soviet era?

How could Stalin allow this to happen? How were we not all swept up and imprisoned? Where was Lubyanka?

But imagine, the list of those who were admitted, on the recommendation of mainly His Holiness, to the circle on the history of Holy Rus' - now it has been declassified - was approved (don’t faint!) by Stalin himself. And the circle was led on behalf of Stalin by his favorite, outstanding archaeologist and historian Academician Rybakov , dean of the Faculty of History of Moscow State University and director of two institutes of the USSR Academy of Sciences at the same time - the Institute of Archeology and the Institute of History of the USSR.

The circle at the State Historical Museum on Red Square was considered especially elite. Therefore, I happily got into it at the request of Patriarch Alexy the First himself (in the world of Simansky Sergei Vladimirovich - the Semanovs and Simanskys are distant relatives, and I was allowed to see His Holiness even when he was a metropolitan in Leningrad; our common ancestors were all predominantly of the clergy) , came to the elite circle all the way from Leningrad. And I usually stayed overnight with the future writer Baigushev, with whom we became friends for life.

Baigushev lived at Chistye Prudy, 14. It was an unusual house, decorated with unique friezes in the ancient Russian “animal” style, because it was a former patriarchal house. Baigushev grew up among the children of repressed priests. One of them, nicknamed “Kostka the Candlestick” (in the world Konstantin Vladimirovich Nechaev ) will also become our bosom friend and in the future - the second person in the Church, Metropolitan of Volokolamsk and Yuryev Pitirim , editor-in-chief of the “Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate” and head of its powerful publishing department , which underground competed with the atheistic department of Propaganda of the CPSU Central Committee. I note that in his youth, Konstantin Nechaev also loved to attend the elite school club of Academician Rybakov at the State Historical Museum.

Now I admit that to a certain extent, our school demonstrative special interest in the history of Holy Rus' was our unconscious rejection of Marxist, and in essence, as we believed, Jewish (Old Testament in spirit!) Soviet power.

However, the famous academician Rybakov himself never hid among his circle that he joined the CPSU only under pressure from Stalin himself, who told him that this was necessary “for the Orthodox cause.” From the first day, Academician Rybakov constantly bravely instilled in us, schoolchildren, that he himself remained Orthodox in faith and spirit. And we knew that he, without fear, visited the Old Believer Church at the Transfiguration Cemetery. At the same time, he often took Baigushev with him, since he, like Academician Rybakov himself, was also from hereditary Old Believers and also openly despised godless official atheistic Marxism and said that this teaching was an instrument of Satan. By the way, there were whispers in our circle. that Baigushev’s grandfather, the merchant Prokhorov, was friends with the father of Academician Rybakov, also a rich merchant, before the Revolution.

Did Stalin know about Academician Rybakov’s secret seditious trips to church? I have no doubt that Lubyanka reported to Stalin. But through people like Academician Rybakov, Stalin tried to re-grow the “Russian Party within the CPSU.” That is, to correct his tragic mistake, which he himself, Stalin, made in the “Leningrad case.” Stalin believed the dirty slander.

Stalin won the Great Patriotic War, relying on the protective “Russian Party within the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)” created on his initiative, the true leader of which was Zhdanov . After a difficult war, the elderly and greatly weakened Stalin did not hide the fact that he was preparing a worthy successor for himself in the person of Zhdanov. But I didn’t want to retire early.

However, immediately after the war, it was not the Russian Zhdanov at all, but Stalin’s own Caucasian, the exorbitantly ambitious Beria , in whose hands the all-powerful, powerful Lubyanka was in his hands, he decided to displace the elderly Stalin, who had seriously given up, and rule himself. He persuaded Khrushchev and Malenkov , and the trio of conspirators began by slandering Zhdanov.

They whispered to Stalin that a secret party of convinced Russian nationalists - Zhdanovites - planned to retire Stalin and replace him, Russian in spirit, Orthodox, but Caucasian by birth, with their own true Russian by blood man, Zhdanov. Zhdanov was poisoned. Then all the Zhdanovites were repressed. They even shot Politburo member Nikolai Alekseevich Voznesensky , an academician and a brilliant economist (who proved this during the Patriotic War, when it was Voznesensky who planned all the work of the rear for the needs of the front!), whom Stalin publicly promised more than once to make after himself the Chairman of the Council of Ministers.

Alas, because of the conspiracy of Beria, Khrushchev and Malenkov and the tragic mistake of Stalin, who blindly believed them, Russian blood was shed in immeasurable amounts again even after the war. The entire powerful secret “Russian Party within the CPSU” was practically destroyed.

But as a result, Stalin himself found himself without support. He soon realized this. And he tried to restore his support - the unspoken “Russian Party within the CPSU”, massively growing fresh Russian personnel, in particular, through such important circles as the circle of Academician Rybakov.

***

Why did Stalin, trying to hastily restore the secret “Russian Party within the CPSU”, which he himself had destroyed through a tragic mistake, before his death, suddenly so latched on to the demonstratively non-party and openly Orthodox academician Rybakov?

It has now been declassified that Stalin always wanted to get rid of the bogeyman “Bolsheviks-Leninists” hated by the people. And in 1952, before his death, he even insisted on changing the name of the only permitted ruling party from the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), that is, the “Bolshevik” party, to the CPSU without the “Bolsheviks.” And when the “special folders” of the Politburo were declassified, it was revealed that Stalin in his soul generally considered Marxism-Leninism to be “trickery” and that he left the following testament: “Reforms are inevitable, but in due time. And these must be organic reforms, based on traditions with the gradual restoration of Orthodox self-awareness. Very soon, wars for territory will be replaced by “cold” wars – for resources and energy. You need to be prepared for this . " I quote from the book “Personal Secret Service of I.V. Stalin (strategic intelligence and counterintelligence). Collection of documents" (p. 416). This collection of documents was published by the Svarog publishing house, which specializes in literature for internal use by intelligence officers.

The editor-in-chief of the magazine of the Ministry of Justice “Man and the Law” Sergei Semanov in Veshenskaya receives instructions for the secret “Russian Party within the CPSU” from the shadow leader of this group, member of the CPSU Central Committee, Nobel laureate M.A. Sholokhov. Photo from the accompanying materials to the highly secret note of the Chairman of the KGB of the USSR Yu.V. Andropov “On the anti-Soviet activities of Semanov S.N.” dated March 28, 1981. The note was sent to the Politburo and exposed the alleged conspiracy of the secret “Russian Party within the CPSU,” aimed, according to Andropov, at the overthrow of the atheistic Marxist Soviet government and the return of the Russian people to Orthodoxy (Archive of S.N. Semanov in the Manuscript Department of the State libraries of the Russian Federation, Fund 887)

But even more stunning facts have already been declassified. It turns out that, surrounded after the Revolution by terribly active predominantly Jewish “commissars” who professed supposedly godless Marxism-Leninism, Stalin was forced to play a “double game” all his life. He guessed that under the guise of Marxism-Leninism was hiding a cynical modification of the “Old Testament.” But Stalin believed in the New Testament. After all, he received his education at the Tiflis Orthodox Theological Seminary. During the Great Patriotic War he returned His Holiness the Patriarch to Holy Rus'. But he never decided to make Orthodoxy, instead of the “trigamism” of Marxism-Leninism, the official state religion. I was afraid that the people would not understand, after 1917, from school, they were completely intoxicated by satanic “Marxism-Leninism.”

Stalin was convinced that the return to Orthodoxy in this regard must be prepared very gradually. And we need to start right from school. At our circle, Academician Rybakov often confidentially complained to us schoolchildren that Stalin was constantly forced to reckon with the “red professors” who filled the Kremlin apparatus after the Revolution - people with a secondary education only in a small-town cheder. “Red professors” swarmed after 1917, like locusts, from the former Jewish Pale of Settlement in Russia...

Immediately after the Revolution in Soviet Marxist-Leninist historical science, literally all the key places were captured by supposedly God-fighters, but in fact secret supporters of the “Old Testament”. They hated Holy Rus' for its Orthodoxy and kowtowed to the West as the birthplace of Marxism. In general, they constituted a powerful so-called historical school of the prominent Marxist revolutionary Academician Pokrovsky .

It was necessary to somehow oust the “red professors” of Pokrovsky’s historical school from their homes. But by whom? Where is the worthy national Russian replacement?

And so, on the direct advice of Stalin, Academician Rybakov began to grow his own Russian national historical school - literally from school. Rybakov took us as schoolchildren on his archaeological expeditions and taught us to write scientific abstracts. And then he looked after me all his life - he helped me get into universities, promoted me in my scientific career and promotion.

For example, it was on the recommendation of the all-powerful academician Rybakov that I became the editor-in-chief of the magazine “Man and the Law” (circulation 6 million copies; the magazine is mandatory on the desk of every district committee instructor and operative officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB; editor-in-chief – “nomenklatura” Politburo).

And Academician Rybakov’s favorite Baigushev, through the efforts of Academician Rybakov, was first accepted by Rybakov’s friend, a fundamentally non-partisan (also remaining Orthodox at heart!) Dean of the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University Roman Mikhailovich Samarin to the elite Romano-Germanic department of the Philological University of Moscow State University. I have already said that it trained, among other things, professionals to work behind the Iron Curtain. And then, taking advantage of the opportunity (the fact that Baigushev, while studying at Moscow State University, managed to make friends with Khrushchev’s son-in-law Alexei Ivanovich Adzhubey - by the way, a very Russian man, his favorite artist and friend was Ilya Glazunov !), Academician Rybakov recommended Baigushev to the “gray eminence” of the Kremlin Suslov as his unspoken, but especially trusted consultants and assistants on the “red web” key line. And the writer Baigushev ended his career as a strategic intelligence officer as the coordinator of the Personal Strategic Intelligence-Counterintelligence of the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee L.I. Brezhnev.

***

But let me return to the elite school club at the State Historical Museum.

I remember that at one of his meetings, Academician Rybakov closed the doors tightly and trusted us that he had just returned from Stalin himself. Stalin, they say, called him for consultation because the leader was going to personally speak on the so-called “Khazar issue,” which, in essence, disguises the Jewish issue. That is, to be specific, Stalin himself wants to speak out in principle on the issue of the fatal “Jewish antiquities” on the territory of the USSR. It was the “Jewish antiquities” on the territory of Orthodox Russia that always complicated her life. And to this day, the “Invisible Khazaria” hovers over the country like a ghost, that is, the ghost of the medieval Khazaria elite, formerly Jewish by faith, wiped off the face of the earth by Russian princes, but preserved in the form of a mystical ghost haunting Russia.

On December 25, 1951, Stalin’s directive notes actually appeared in the central organ of the CPSU “Pravda” signed by P. Ivanov (and this is how Stalin himself usually signed his articles in the Pravda newspaper). They were about the fatal “exaggeration” on the part of some Soviet scientists of the role of the Great Khazar Kaganate, Jewish by faith, in the history of the Russian state.

What, according to Stalin, was the essence of the fatal “exaggeration”?

***

In Rus', the Khazars' raids were always remembered with fear. The main enemy in the oldest surviving Russian epics is a hero named Zhidovin. Zhidovin was from the Khazars. In the Middle Ages, in the 7th–10th centuries, in the Western Caucasus and on the Volga, the terrible enemy of Rus' was powerful - the Kaganate, Jewish by faith of its ruling elite. The Great Khazar Kaganate (as he called himself in his ambassadorial letters) was a state of predominantly nomads. The word “Khazars” translated from ancient Turkic means “nomads”.

So here it is. The Khazars raided Eastern Europe for three hundred years, taking the Slavs into slavery en masse. The capital of the Kaganate was at the mouth of the Volga on the site of present-day Astrakhan. The main attraction of the capital was the giant “suk ar rakik” - the slave market. There, on an island in the middle of the river, stood the main temple of the Kaganate - the temporary Third Temple of Solomon. Why temporary? But because the Jews, who fled from Palestine, from their Promised Land, after the barbaric destruction in the 1st century of the Second Temple of Solomon by the pagan Romans, experienced their forced “dispersion” for a thousand years, primarily in Khazaria, waiting for them to return back to their historical homeland.

The Great Khazar Kaganate was a multinational state with different religions among its people. But the Rakhdanites gradually seized power there. This is what Jewish merchants who conducted overseas trade called themselves. They quickly learned to trade slaves terribly profitably in the medieval slave markets of Cordoba, Prague and Baghdad. And having accumulated untold wealth, they gradually managed to become a kind of “oligarchs” in the Kaganate - to seize key positions in the Great Khazar Kaganate. They profited immensely from the sale of prisoners captured by the Khazars. And for three hundred years, captives for sale into slavery in the slave markets of Europe and the Middle East were captured mainly in raids on Rus'.

It is clear that the historical memories in Holy Rus' of their former medieval neighbor - the Great Khazar Kaganate, Jewish by faith of its elite - were formed primarily on this terrible fact of the Khazars' raids for slaves. Hence, in Rus', for a long time, a sharply wary attitude remained towards the descendants of the Khazars - the Jews of the “Ashkenazi” branch, who settled in Volyn, where they fled from Khazaria on the Volga, destroyed in 965 by the prince of the Rus Svyatoslav. It was in Volyn that, already in tsarist times, the “Pale of Permanent Jewish Settlement” was allocated for the descendants of the Khazars, Jews by faith.

Let me explain. One should not confuse the “Russian Jews”, who come primarily from the Khazars, with the “Spanish Jews” of the “Sephardi” branch. If the Jews of the “Ashkenazi” branch have Turkic blood, since in Khazaria the Jews thoroughly mixed with the nomadic Turks, mainly the Huns. The Jews of the Sephardic branch have Arab blood, since, having fled to Spain, they mixed with the Arabs along the way. However, there are no purebred peoples in the world - such peoples, remaining genetically without an influx of fresh blood, are doomed to gradual degeneration.

***

A wary attitude towards Jews - descendants of the Khazars - in Holy Rus' persisted until the Revolution of 1917. If Jews were baptized, they received all civil rights. But if you wanted to preserve the Jewish faith, then if you please, live in the permanent Jewish Pale of Settlement.

The situation changed radically after the 1917 Revolution. The Marxists-Leninists, who proclaimed the so-called “Soviet power,” immediately tried to diametrically change the people’s traditional negative attitude towards the gloomy medieval “slave trading” Great Khazar Kaganate. There was a self-serving reason here: the largest share (even larger than the German General Staff) contributed to the financing and organization of the Great October Revolution that blew up Holy Rus' in 1917 were the bankers Rothschilds and Schiffs, whose ancestors made their countless starting capitals precisely from the slave trade in Khazaria, and then they still managed to flee with capital to Europe.

And the great revolutionary himself, under the pseudonym Lenin, pretended to be a Russian Ulyanov , although in fact his ancestors were from Khazaria, and their surname was the Ulyanovs without a soft sign (the Ulyanovs came from the cruel Bek Uli, who became famous for his raids for slaves in Russia). When the Ulyanov family moved from Astrakhan to Simbirsk, however, the Ulyanov family Russified its surname - to Ulyanov. For a bribe, the clerk wrote a soft sign into the Khazar surname of the Ulyanovs, supposedly this surname came from the unknown Ulyana.

It is not surprising that at heart a hereditary Khazarian (just look at his high-cheekboned, Asian, narrow-eyed appearance) and a genetically pathological Russophobe, Lenin, taking Khazar revenge, began to affirm the Marxist-Leninist revolution by vilely accusing the entire Russian people of allegedly “Great Russian chauvinism.”

If tsarist Russia considered itself primarily an empire of “Great Russians” (as the Russians proudly called themselves in tsarist Russia), then the Marxists-Leninists began to create an atheistic (“militantly godless”) emphatically multinational Soviet in place of the Orthodox Russian monarchy under the symbolic name “Holy Rus'”. The Union is a multinational state fragmented into pieces. Moreover, the Soviet government created many national union and autonomous republics completely artificially. For example, Ukraine (Okraina). Little Russia and Novorossiya have always been considered part of the common Russian people. Just like Great Russia. But the Marxists-Leninists, by a special decree of the Leninist government, robbed the “Great Russians” of their proud self-name. They were left with only the adjective “Russians,” although in Tsarist Russia all the peoples of Russia were called Russians. Officially, according to the documents, there were Russian “Great Russians”, “Russian Ukrainians” (that is, “outskirts”), Russian Belarusians, Russian “Young Russians” (that is, Russian Caucasians), Russian Yakuts, Russian Tatars, etc.

And when the Marxists began to take the place of the community of Russian peoples and completely build a so-called “new historical community” (to create a “new historical community - the Soviet people” - this was written in the Program of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) - CPSU), then the commissars preferred to take over the example is precisely the Great Khazar Kaganate, which they declared no more, no less than the historical forerunner of the Soviet Union.

Stalin wrote in his notes in Pravda, which I mentioned above, signed by P. Ivanov:

“In the brochure (published in millions of copies. - S.S. ) Professor V.A. Parkhomenko “At the Origins of Russian Statehood (VIII–XI centuries) , ” published in 1924, and in some other works, the idea is advanced that the Khazar Kaganate, a primitive state formation that existed in the 7th– X centuries. Prof. Parkhomenko spoke frankly about the Khazar origins of Rus'. He argued that “corresponding to the role of the Normans in the north-west, at the other end of Russian territory - in the south-east - the Kozares had a dominant influence on another group of Russian-Slavic tribes, that the Slavic tribes borrowed the beginning of statehood from the Khazars. An incorrect assessment of the historical role of the Khazar Kaganate, oddly enough, is still in circulation today. It is most fully manifested in the works of the prominent archaeologist Prof. M.I. Artamonov , who has been studying the history of the Khazars for many years and has published a number of works on this issue. The main provisions of his concept by Prof. Artamonov formulated it in “Essays on the Ancient History of the Khazars,” published in 1937. In this work (replete with references to the erroneous statements of Academician Marr ), he stated that “the Khazar state cannot be ignored as the most important (?!) condition for the formation of Kievan Rus,” that the Khazar Kaganate supposedly acted “as a state almost equal in strength and the political significance of Byzantium and the Arab Caliphate." Prof. Artamonov argued that Kievan Rus entered the historical arena “in the role of a vassal of the Byzantine Empire” and that the Khazar Khaganate allegedly served for it as a model of a new type of state.”

At some point, Stalin even disgustedly ordered to completely throw out all references to the medieval Great Khazar Kaganate, not only from school, but even from university textbooks. As a result, in Soviet schools, Pushkin’s “Song of the Prophetic Oleg” was taught by heart, in which the Prophetic Oleg was going to “take revenge on the unreasonable Khazars,” but until 1991, Soviet schoolchildren did not know who these mysterious “unreasonable Khazars” were.

However, such deleting of the “unreasonable Khazars” from Russian history was hardly correct. The mysterious Khazars became a forbidden sweet fruit and the subject of much speculation. In any case, it is no coincidence that shortly before his death in 1951, Stalin himself had to speak on the Khazar issue in the central body of the CPSU.

I was told by strategic intelligence professionals that it was the acute Khazar issue that resulted in Stalin’s struggle with the cosmopolitans in 1948 (which included mainly Jews). And the dirty anti-Semitic “Doctors’ Plot”, to a certain extent, became precisely the convenient catalyst thanks to which the trinity of conspirators Beria, Khrushchev and Malenkov, with the support of a secret but influential group - the “Jewish Party within the CPSU”, managed to accelerate the death of Stalin and took the power. The trio quickly quarreled; the more active Khrushchev won the squabble.

***

After the death of Stalin during the turbid so-called Khrushchev “thaw”, the attitude towards the Great Khazar Kaganate again changed dramatically. And in 1960, the “gray eminence” of the Kremlin, the main ideologist of the Politburo, Suslov, called his secret but especially trusted assistant-consultant Alexander Baigushev. It was said:

– I allowed you to continue studying full-time at the screenwriting department of VGIK. The Cinematography Institute is a key university in the field of ideology, and I need to know first-hand what the mood is like there. I asked the director of VGIK Lebedev , given that you have already graduated from Moscow State University, to give you free attendance at lectures, so that you are not very often absent from your main job on the “red web”. I'm pleased with you. But the director of VGIK Lebedev came to me and, among other things, started talking about you. He said that you want to defend your thesis with a script for the historical film “Prince Svyatoslav.” However, VGIK has a rule that a diploma can only be defended based on a filmed script, and not a single film studio undertakes to make a film about Prince Svyatoslav, since among his exploits there is a key episode about the victorious campaign against the Jewish Khazars, and according to Stalin’s order that is still in force, this topic covered. Lebedev asked me to give you, as an exception, permission to defend the script “Prince Svyatoslav” as a diploma, since your friend, also a graduate of VGIK, the young talented director Tarkovsky , expressed a desire to direct your script . VGIK, they say, would have killed two birds with one stone with its graduate students. Just in case, I did not allow VGIK such political outrage. I told Lebedev that overturning Stalin’s decisions is not my competence, but that of the entire Politburo. But then I regretted my negative decision.

Suslov added:

– And it’s better not to philosophize here, but to give a colorful convex artistic panorama. Following the example of Lion Feuchtwanger’s great historical novel “The Jewish War”. Feuchtwanger convincingly and clearly revealed the events of the 1st century. However, unfortunately, the wonderful novel “The Jewish War” was, just in case, banned from publication by Stalin in the USSR. I didn’t dare argue with Stalin then. But here is my personal copy, given to me by Feuchtwanger himself. And let's take a risk with you. However, not with a terribly expensive film (what if it ends up on the shelf?), but with the manuscript of a historical novel. Still, the risky expenses here are not so great. Make a historical novel based on your film script, but shift the emphasis from Svyatoslav’s campaign (let Svyatoslav remain, of course!) to the situation in the Great Khazar Kaganate itself. In short, continue the feat of the wise Feuchtwanger and write “The Jewish War - 2”. You will step through a thousand years and bring events closer to our time, to the immediate birth of Holy Rus'. Your predecessor in the “red web”, Ehrenburg, wrote “The Thaw” on my direct order - and what a thunderous success it was! I'm giving the same chance to you. Dare! I have already spoken with Academician Rybakov. He told me that you are a man knowledgeable in the complex Khazar history. It turns out that you even went with him to archaeological excavations in the mountainous Crimea. So write a historical novel based on “Jewish antiquities” on the territory of the USSR. After all, the “Khazar War” of the 10th century was, a thousand years after the First Jewish War, in essence the Second Jewish War. And the Khazar War had even more fatal consequences for the geopolitics of the whole world. The terrible specter of “Invisible Khazaria” now hovers over the whole world.

Suslov pressed:

– You are given a chance to quickly dare to write a historical novel that promises to be absolutely sensational. But we need to write the most truthful novel possible about the former Great Khazar Kaganate. Exactly the most reliable! Strictly based on genuine historical facts. Stalin nailed Professor Artamonov for praising the Khazars. But no one here knows the history of the Khazars better than the director of the Leningrad Hermitage Museum Artamonov and his student Lev Gumilyov . I’ll call Artamonov: he will open the closed storerooms of the Hermitage with all the Khazar antiquities and personally show you everything. And Lev Gumilev will help you directly.

***

Suslov was a man of action. Since the party needed it, the “red web” needed it, then under the direct leadership of the famous historian and archaeologist Lev Nikolaevich Gumilyov and with the watchful supervision of Academician Rybakov himself, the sensational historical novel “The Third Temple of Solomon, or the Secret of Khazaria” was the young “plainclothes writer” Baigushev quickly written. The manuscript was quickly reviewed and received absolutely brilliant reviews from the USSR Academy of Sciences, the Prose Council of the USSR Writers' Union and the Department of Religion and Atheism, Faculty of Philosophy, Moscow State University.

The young writer Baigushev himself turned out to be far from mediocre, and the great historian Gumilyov also helped him as much as possible. On Suslov’s recommendation, the novel “The Third Temple of Solomon, or the Mystery of Khazaria” was promptly included in the thematic plan of the writer’s publishing house.

But something unexpected even by Suslov himself happened. The historical novel, which promised to be sensational (before this, there had been no works of fiction about the mysterious Khazars in the whole world), was stubborn and not allowed through by Soviet censorship. She unexpectedly suspected that under the tutelage of Gumilyov (who had a reputation as an inveterate anti-Soviet who served two terms in Soviet concentration camps), the young writer Baigushev wrote not so much a historical novel as a vivid prophetic allusion to the upcoming, equally inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union.

In vain Gumilyov, supported by the USSR Academy of Sciences and the Prose Council of the USSR Writers' Union, knocked on all authorities and tried to prove that Baigushev's historical novel about the Khazars was a complete success. That the novel is written on irrefutable documentary material, and there is not the slightest fiction in it. That’s exactly how it was, as historical sources testify.

The seditious affair scandal was discussed at a closed meeting of the Politburo. Suslov justified his risky initiative by forced international circumstances. They say that Stalin may have been right in banning the Khazar theme, but abroad, after Stalin’s death, the financial so-called “Invisible Khazaria” rapidly began to gain strength. These are the banking structures of the Rothschild global financial empire . And, they say, now it is “Invisible Khazaria” that is fueling the “Cold War”. Yes, Stalin went too far with the “doctors’ case” - he fell into anti-Semitism. But when Stalin was alive, they were at least afraid and were not particularly active as propagandists. And after Stalin’s death, “Invisible Khazaria” broke loose. Moreover, the “Cold War” is fueled by the “Invisible Khazaria” not so much against the Soviet Union, but against the Russians and indigenous Russia as an allegedly permanent geopolitical opponent of “universal human values.”

Suslov explained to the Politburo. Like, in this extremely aggravated international situation, being a firm statist, he, Suslov, considered it necessary to rein in the financial “Invisible Khazaria” - and to warn the world about the fate of the medieval Great Khazar Kaganate.

The Politburo listened carefully to its “gray eminence” and made a Solomonic decision. Agree with censorship that ordinary Soviet people can indeed misunderstand a historical novel. Therefore, it is necessary to publish the novel according to a closed list - that is, only for the especially trusted, all-understanding, selected “nomenklatura” of the CPSU. But... close your eyes if the author transfers his warning novel to the foreign “Invisible Khazaria” to the dissident “samizdat” so that the novel quickly goes to the West. And also carefully promote the dissemination of the manuscript of the novel about the Jewish Khazars for circulation in protective patriotic “Russian clubs”, which, whether you like it or not, you will have to rely on in the “Cold War” with “Invisible Khazaria”.

***

All interested parties - Suslov, academician Rybakov, Lev Gumilyov, and even the then young writer Baigushev himself were terribly pleased with the wise Solomon decision of the Khrushchev Politburo.

However, Suslov outplayed. Already at the working secretariat of the CPSU Central Committee, which was always led by Suslov and which embodied all the decisions of the Politburo, Suslov suddenly corrected the closed decision of the Politburo. He re-read the novel and realized that he had overlooked his beloved secret assistant-consultant. From the second reading, Suslov also saw in Baigushev’s historical novel about the Jewish Khazars, perhaps involuntary, but entirely allusions to Soviet power. And Suslov was afraid that if Baigushev was secretly allowed to publish his novel abroad, then he might run into an anti-Soviet company, as was the case with Doctor Zhivago. Suslov disowned his own initiative. Under the title “Lament for the Foolish Khazars,” Baigushev’s historical novel was published in the open press only after Suslov’s death—a quarter of a century later. During the declared “glasnost” of Gorbachev’s “perestroika”, when many manuscripts previously prohibited by Soviet censorship were published. However, Baigushev’s novel was published with a reduction in the particularly dangerous Masonic theme. Politburo member A.N. insisted on this. Yakovlev.

The premiere of the historical novel “Lament for the Foolish Khazars” pompously took place on October 3, 1989 in the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions and was shown on the first channel of central television. Popular folk artists Oleg Strizhenov and Elena Proklova performed scenes from the novel. The entire leadership of the Writers' Union sat on the presidium. For the first time, the Orthodox Church was allowed into the Hall of Columns under the atheistic Soviet regime. And between scenes from the novel the choir of the Moscow Patriarchate sang. The evening was hosted by Metropolitan Pitirim, editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate.

The novel by Alexander Baigushev was promptly published in the popular literary magazine of the Komsomol Central Committee “Young Guard” and was immediately published in a more complete volume (but without the Masonic theme) by order of the Voluntary Society of Book Lovers of the RSFSR by the Stolitsa publishing house. But since then (and another quarter of a century has passed) the novel has not been republished.

INSIGHTFUL BACKGROUND OF THE INVISIBLE KHAZARIA

No. 2015 / 19, 05/27/2015

We have resumed the work of the publishing house “Association of Soviet Writers”. Founded during the "glasnost" of Gorbachev's "perestroika", it worked under the auspices of the Voluntary Society of Book Lovers of Russia and specialized in publishing books banned by Soviet censorship.

The publishing house existed until the default in 1998. We decided to resume our work with the publication of a completely unique bestseller - the manuscript of the historical novel “The Third Temple of Solomon, or the Secret of Khazaria” by Alexander Baigushev , banned in Soviet times.

It has now been declassified that the Soviet author - prose writer and literary critic, who wrote under the crafty pseudonym Baigushev (in Khazar "baigush" means "impoverished") - is actually Alexander Innokentievich Prokhorov , and he is from the class of "formers". The grandson of a Russian millionaire manufacturer from the Korcheva-Kimry Old Believer branch of the Prokhorov merchant-manufacturers, the founders of the Russian textile industry. And in Soviet times, he, naturally, hid his class origin from the “former” ones and wrote in official questionnaires that, according to his social status, he was supposedly from the workers.

He had reasons to hide his origins. He worked for the “red web” - this is how the highly secret strategic intelligence of the Third International was coded, spreading its sticky web throughout the world. Of course, the “gray eminence” of the Kremlin, the chief ideologist of the Politburo, Mikhail Suslov, who took the young writer Baigushev under his wing, knew about the real social origin of the imaginary Baigushev. But Suslov himself hid to himself (with Stalin’sconsent !) that he was also from the “former”: like Stalin, he was also from the clergy class. Suslov wrote in his questionnaires that he was supposedly from the peasantry.

Of course, the KGB did some digging and reported to Suslov that Baigushev was making mistakes in his profile. But Suslov asked the KGB not to interfere in the affairs of the “red web”. He explained that it was precisely such a person with extensive family ties among the Soviet “formers”, including even among the anti-Soviet Russian emigration behind the Iron Curtain, that the “red web”, which he, Suslov, oversees as the main ideologist, needed Politburo. And... in the Khrushchev “thaw” in 1956, he took a young writer, the milk on his lips had not dried, although he had already published a lot noisily in the central press (especially in the newspapers Moskovsky Komsomolets and Komsomolskaya Pravda), under his own wing: appointing the venerable writer Ilya Ehrenburg as his secret unofficial assistant-consultant .

A venerable writer with a revolutionary past and huge connections abroad - behind the Iron Curtain, Ilya Ehrenburg successfully worked for the “red web” even under Lenin , and then under Stalin. He worked in the system of the global cosmopolitan Communist International. But Stalin formally dissolved the Comintern, an eyesore to the West, during the Great Patriotic War under the suppression of the allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. However, he secretly preserved the “red web”, passing it on to Suslov.

The “Red Web” (it was also called “party intelligence”) was positioned even higher in status than the KGB. But she always worked only in deep secrecy - even in her own country, as in foreign countries, observing the strictest rules of secrecy. Agents of the “red web” always acted “undercover”. They were recruited from people of free professions - writers, journalists, artists, musicians, athletes. To make it easier for them, without arousing suspicion, to travel freely around the country and around the world and collect the necessary strategic information. Ilya Erenburg has long been an ideal figure in the role of coordinator of the “red web”. The Jews formed the core of the “red web” with their cosmopolitan spirit of “citizens of the world”, which they were forced to become, having lost their Promised Homeland in the 1st century AD and were doomed to a tragic “dispersion” throughout the world, where they were sometimes received very cruelly – they were placed in a “ghetto”, forced to wear a shameful yellow patch on their back, and even subjected to a “holocaust” (“burnt offering”).

Stalin did not like Jews. But for Ilya Gershevich Ehrenburg, Stalin made an exception. Stalin had two special favorite Jews - Kaganovich and Ehrenburg. And in his memoirs, Ehrenburg was terribly proud that it was he who managed to dissuade Stalin from the repressive mass eviction of “Jews” for the “Doctors’ Case” from Moscow to Birobidzhan, although the echelons had already been brought up.

Ehrenburg seemed to be necessary even after the death of Stalin - under Khrushchev . It was Ehrenburg, immediately after the historic 20th Congress of the CPSU in 1956, at which Stalin’s “cult of personality” was scandalously exposed, who promptly in the same year wrote, at the request of the “red web” (Suslov), the much-publicized story “The Thaw”, which immediately gave the name to everything Khrushchev period. Khrushchev was worried that he did not have Stalin's authority. But Ehrenburg made Stalin’s time seem icy, like the icy kingdom of the “Snow Queen” in Andersen’s fairy tale , and depicted that with the advent of Khrushchev, a “thaw” supposedly began in the country.

Khrushchev seized on Ehrenburg’s idea and in his propaganda proclaimed precisely the “thaw.” Khrushchev’s idea of a “thaw” was actively supported by young people of the sixties. Including an active Komsomol writer, a university friend of Khrushchev’s son-in-law Adzhubey.

But Khrushchev was terrified of revenge from the offended old “Stalinists.” And he hastened to free himself from the stubborn Stalinists in the personnel “nomenclature” of the highest echelon of the party, replacing them with active “sixties” - Komsomol members from the university friends of his son-in-law Alexei Adzhubey . Khrushchev made his son-in-law the editor-in-chief of first Komsomolskaya Pravda, then Izvestia. And many of Adzhubey's university friends quickly went on to dazzling careers.

Baigushev, although he was young and had no experience, came in very handy to replace the seemingly reoriented, but terribly influential and therefore dangerous old man Ehrenburg. When approving the Politburo, they took into account that the young but smart writer studied at the screenwriting department of VGIK, where he was taught to cook up “iron scripts” according to the Hollywood model (and “iron scripts” are used not only in cinema to fool TV viewers, but also in geopolitics, for which is monitored by strategic intelligence). But most importantly, in 1956, Baigushev had already graduated from the elite “Western” Romano-Germanic department of the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University, which, let’s reveal a secret, among other things, trained professional intelligence officers to work among the artistic intelligentsia behind the Iron Curtain. By the way, let me remind you that the head of President Putin’s administration and Putin’s wife also graduated from the elite Romano-Germanic department, albeit from Leningrad University.

That is, Baigushev already had excellent professional training to work for strategic intelligence. In addition, it was Ilya Erenburg who was Baigushev’s opponent in defending his closed diploma at Moscow State University on artistic avant-gardeism, which was banned in the USSR, but remained terribly popular in the West. So old Ehrenburg also did not object to the candidacy of his successor in the “red web” and conscientiously transferred his agent connections to Baigushev.

But how did it happen that a “plainclothes writer” - an employee of top secret strategic intelligence - suddenly wrote a scandalous, completely seditious historical novel, “The Third Temple of Solomon.” Looking for popularity in a dissident environment?

Here you just need to know that Alexander Innokentievich Baigushev from his youth was literally obsessed with the mysteries of the history of Ancient Rus'. And Baigushev, while still a schoolboy, became especially interested in the relationship between the ancient Russians and the “mysterious Khazars,” who in the Middle Ages were Turks (Huns), but not pagans or Muslims, but those who accepted the Jewish faith. A unique case in history.

I have been close friends with Baigushev all my life. Already since 1948. Even under Stalin, since 1948, he and I attended a circle on archeology and history of Ancient Rus' at the State Historical Museum on Red Square. In fact, it was - imagine! - a disguised, semi-underground circle on the history of baptism and the formation of Holy Rus'. It would seem that this was unthinkable in the officially programmatically atheistic Soviet era?

How could Stalin allow this to happen? How were we not all swept up and imprisoned? Where was Lubyanka?

But imagine, the list of those who were admitted, on the recommendation of mainly His Holiness, to the circle on the history of Holy Rus' - now it has been declassified - was approved (don’t faint!) by Stalin himself. And the circle was led on behalf of Stalin by his favorite, outstanding archaeologist and historian Academician Rybakov , dean of the Faculty of History of Moscow State University and director of two institutes of the USSR Academy of Sciences at the same time - the Institute of Archeology and the Institute of History of the USSR.

The circle at the State Historical Museum on Red Square was considered especially elite. Therefore, I happily got into it at the request of Patriarch Alexy the First himself (in the world of Simansky Sergei Vladimirovich - the Semanovs and Simanskys are distant relatives, and I was allowed to see His Holiness even when he was a metropolitan in Leningrad; our common ancestors were all predominantly of the clergy) , came to the elite circle all the way from Leningrad. And I usually stayed overnight with the future writer Baigushev, with whom we became friends for life.

Baigushev lived at Chistye Prudy, 14. It was an unusual house, decorated with unique friezes in the ancient Russian “animal” style, because it was a former patriarchal house. Baigushev grew up among the children of repressed priests. One of them, nicknamed “Kostka the Candlestick” (in the world Konstantin Vladimirovich Nechaev ) will also become our bosom friend and in the future - the second person in the Church, Metropolitan of Volokolamsk and Yuryev Pitirim , editor-in-chief of the “Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate” and head of its powerful publishing department , which underground competed with the atheistic department of Propaganda of the CPSU Central Committee. I note that in his youth, Konstantin Nechaev also loved to attend the elite school club of Academician Rybakov at the State Historical Museum.

Now I admit that to a certain extent, our school demonstrative special interest in the history of Holy Rus' was our unconscious rejection of Marxist, and in essence, as we believed, Jewish (Old Testament in spirit!) Soviet power.

However, the famous academician Rybakov himself never hid among his circle that he joined the CPSU only under pressure from Stalin himself, who told him that this was necessary “for the Orthodox cause.” From the first day, Academician Rybakov constantly bravely instilled in us, schoolchildren, that he himself remained Orthodox in faith and spirit. And we knew that he, without fear, visited the Old Believer Church at the Transfiguration Cemetery. At the same time, he often took Baigushev with him, since he, like Academician Rybakov himself, was also from hereditary Old Believers and also openly despised godless official atheistic Marxism and said that this teaching was an instrument of Satan. By the way, there were whispers in our circle. that Baigushev’s grandfather, the merchant Prokhorov, was friends with the father of Academician Rybakov, also a rich merchant, before the Revolution.

Did Stalin know about Academician Rybakov’s secret seditious trips to church? I have no doubt that Lubyanka reported to Stalin. But through people like Academician Rybakov, Stalin tried to re-grow the “Russian Party within the CPSU.” That is, to correct his tragic mistake, which he himself, Stalin, made in the “Leningrad case.” Stalin believed the dirty slander.

Stalin won the Great Patriotic War, relying on the protective “Russian Party within the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)” created on his initiative, the true leader of which was Zhdanov . After a difficult war, the elderly and greatly weakened Stalin did not hide the fact that he was preparing a worthy successor for himself in the person of Zhdanov. But I didn’t want to retire early.

However, immediately after the war, it was not the Russian Zhdanov at all, but Stalin’s own Caucasian, the exorbitantly ambitious Beria , in whose hands the all-powerful, powerful Lubyanka was in his hands, he decided to displace the elderly Stalin, who had seriously given up, and rule himself. He persuaded Khrushchev and Malenkov , and the trio of conspirators began by slandering Zhdanov.

They whispered to Stalin that a secret party of convinced Russian nationalists - Zhdanovites - planned to retire Stalin and replace him, Russian in spirit, Orthodox, but Caucasian by birth, with their own true Russian by blood man, Zhdanov. Zhdanov was poisoned. Then all the Zhdanovites were repressed. They even shot Politburo member Nikolai Alekseevich Voznesensky , an academician and a brilliant economist (who proved this during the Patriotic War, when it was Voznesensky who planned all the work of the rear for the needs of the front!), whom Stalin publicly promised more than once to make after himself the Chairman of the Council of Ministers.

Alas, because of the conspiracy of Beria, Khrushchev and Malenkov and the tragic mistake of Stalin, who blindly believed them, Russian blood was shed in immeasurable amounts again even after the war. The entire powerful secret “Russian Party within the CPSU” was practically destroyed.

But as a result, Stalin himself found himself without support. He soon realized this. And he tried to restore his support - the unspoken “Russian Party within the CPSU”, massively growing fresh Russian personnel, in particular, through such important circles as the circle of Academician Rybakov.

***

Why did Stalin, trying to hastily restore the secret “Russian Party within the CPSU”, which he himself had destroyed through a tragic mistake, before his death, suddenly so latched on to the demonstratively non-party and openly Orthodox academician Rybakov?

It has now been declassified that Stalin always wanted to get rid of the bogeyman “Bolsheviks-Leninists” hated by the people. And in 1952, before his death, he even insisted on changing the name of the only permitted ruling party from the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), that is, the “Bolshevik” party, to the CPSU without the “Bolsheviks.” And when the “special folders” of the Politburo were declassified, it was revealed that Stalin in his soul generally considered Marxism-Leninism to be “trickery” and that he left the following testament: “Reforms are inevitable, but in due time. And these must be organic reforms, based on traditions with the gradual restoration of Orthodox self-awareness. Very soon, wars for territory will be replaced by “cold” wars – for resources and energy. You need to be prepared for this . " I quote from the book “Personal Secret Service of I.V. Stalin (strategic intelligence and counterintelligence). Collection of documents" (p. 416). This collection of documents was published by the Svarog publishing house, which specializes in literature for internal use by intelligence officers.

The editor-in-chief of the magazine of the Ministry of Justice “Man and the Law” Sergei Semanov in Veshenskaya receives instructions for the secret “Russian Party within the CPSU” from the shadow leader of this group, member of the CPSU Central Committee, Nobel laureate M.A. Sholokhov. Photo from the accompanying materials to the highly secret note of the Chairman of the KGB of the USSR Yu.V. Andropov “On the anti-Soviet activities of Semanov S.N.” dated March 28, 1981. The note was sent to the Politburo and exposed the alleged conspiracy of the secret “Russian Party within the CPSU,” aimed, according to Andropov, at the overthrow of the atheistic Marxist Soviet government and the return of the Russian people to Orthodoxy (Archive of S.N. Semanov in the Manuscript Department of the State libraries of the Russian Federation, Fund 887)

But even more stunning facts have already been declassified. It turns out that, surrounded after the Revolution by terribly active predominantly Jewish “commissars” who professed supposedly godless Marxism-Leninism, Stalin was forced to play a “double game” all his life. He guessed that under the guise of Marxism-Leninism was hiding a cynical modification of the “Old Testament.” But Stalin believed in the New Testament. After all, he received his education at the Tiflis Orthodox Theological Seminary. During the Great Patriotic War he returned His Holiness the Patriarch to Holy Rus'. But he never decided to make Orthodoxy, instead of the “trigamism” of Marxism-Leninism, the official state religion. I was afraid that the people would not understand, after 1917, from school, they were completely intoxicated by satanic “Marxism-Leninism.”

Stalin was convinced that the return to Orthodoxy in this regard must be prepared very gradually. And we need to start right from school. At our circle, Academician Rybakov often confidentially complained to us schoolchildren that Stalin was constantly forced to reckon with the “red professors” who filled the Kremlin apparatus after the Revolution - people with a secondary education only in a small-town cheder. “Red professors” swarmed after 1917, like locusts, from the former Jewish Pale of Settlement in Russia...

Immediately after the Revolution in Soviet Marxist-Leninist historical science, literally all the key places were captured by supposedly God-fighters, but in fact secret supporters of the “Old Testament”. They hated Holy Rus' for its Orthodoxy and kowtowed to the West as the birthplace of Marxism. In general, they constituted a powerful so-called historical school of the prominent Marxist revolutionary Academician Pokrovsky .

It was necessary to somehow oust the “red professors” of Pokrovsky’s historical school from their homes. But by whom? Where is the worthy national Russian replacement?

And so, on the direct advice of Stalin, Academician Rybakov began to grow his own Russian national historical school - literally from school. Rybakov took us as schoolchildren on his archaeological expeditions and taught us to write scientific abstracts. And then he looked after me all his life - he helped me get into universities, promoted me in my scientific career and promotion.

For example, it was on the recommendation of the all-powerful academician Rybakov that I became the editor-in-chief of the magazine “Man and the Law” (circulation 6 million copies; the magazine is mandatory on the desk of every district committee instructor and operative officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB; editor-in-chief – “nomenklatura” Politburo).

And Academician Rybakov’s favorite Baigushev, through the efforts of Academician Rybakov, was first accepted by Rybakov’s friend, a fundamentally non-partisan (also remaining Orthodox at heart!) Dean of the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University Roman Mikhailovich Samarin to the elite Romano-Germanic department of the Philological University of Moscow State University. I have already said that it trained, among other things, professionals to work behind the Iron Curtain. And then, taking advantage of the opportunity (the fact that Baigushev, while studying at Moscow State University, managed to make friends with Khrushchev’s son-in-law Alexei Ivanovich Adzhubey - by the way, a very Russian man, his favorite artist and friend was Ilya Glazunov !), Academician Rybakov recommended Baigushev to the “gray eminence” of the Kremlin Suslov as his unspoken, but especially trusted consultants and assistants on the “red web” key line. And the writer Baigushev ended his career as a strategic intelligence officer as the coordinator of the Personal Strategic Intelligence-Counterintelligence of the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee L.I. Brezhnev.

***

But let me return to the elite school club at the State Historical Museum.

I remember that at one of his meetings, Academician Rybakov closed the doors tightly and trusted us that he had just returned from Stalin himself. Stalin, they say, called him for consultation because the leader was going to personally speak on the so-called “Khazar issue,” which, in essence, disguises the Jewish issue. That is, to be specific, Stalin himself wants to speak out in principle on the issue of the fatal “Jewish antiquities” on the territory of the USSR. It was the “Jewish antiquities” on the territory of Orthodox Russia that always complicated her life. And to this day, the “Invisible Khazaria” hovers over the country like a ghost, that is, the ghost of the medieval Khazaria elite, formerly Jewish by faith, wiped off the face of the earth by Russian princes, but preserved in the form of a mystical ghost haunting Russia.

On December 25, 1951, Stalin’s directive notes actually appeared in the central organ of the CPSU “Pravda” signed by P. Ivanov (and this is how Stalin himself usually signed his articles in the Pravda newspaper). They were about the fatal “exaggeration” on the part of some Soviet scientists of the role of the Great Khazar Kaganate, Jewish by faith, in the history of the Russian state.

What, according to Stalin, was the essence of the fatal “exaggeration”?

***

In Rus', the Khazars' raids were always remembered with fear. The main enemy in the oldest surviving Russian epics is a hero named Zhidovin. Zhidovin was from the Khazars. In the Middle Ages, in the 7th–10th centuries, in the Western Caucasus and on the Volga, the terrible enemy of Rus' was powerful - the Kaganate, Jewish by faith of its ruling elite. The Great Khazar Kaganate (as he called himself in his ambassadorial letters) was a state of predominantly nomads. The word “Khazars” translated from ancient Turkic means “nomads”.

So here it is. The Khazars raided Eastern Europe for three hundred years, taking the Slavs into slavery en masse. The capital of the Kaganate was at the mouth of the Volga on the site of present-day Astrakhan. The main attraction of the capital was the giant “suk ar rakik” - the slave market. There, on an island in the middle of the river, stood the main temple of the Kaganate - the temporary Third Temple of Solomon. Why temporary? But because the Jews, who fled from Palestine, from their Promised Land, after the barbaric destruction in the 1st century of the Second Temple of Solomon by the pagan Romans, experienced their forced “dispersion” for a thousand years, primarily in Khazaria, waiting for them to return back to their historical homeland.

The Great Khazar Kaganate was a multinational state with different religions among its people. But the Rakhdanites gradually seized power there. This is what Jewish merchants who conducted overseas trade called themselves. They quickly learned to trade slaves terribly profitably in the medieval slave markets of Cordoba, Prague and Baghdad. And having accumulated untold wealth, they gradually managed to become a kind of “oligarchs” in the Kaganate - to seize key positions in the Great Khazar Kaganate. They profited immensely from the sale of prisoners captured by the Khazars. And for three hundred years, captives for sale into slavery in the slave markets of Europe and the Middle East were captured mainly in raids on Rus'.

It is clear that the historical memories in Holy Rus' of their former medieval neighbor - the Great Khazar Kaganate, Jewish by faith of its elite - were formed primarily on this terrible fact of the Khazars' raids for slaves. Hence, in Rus', for a long time, a sharply wary attitude remained towards the descendants of the Khazars - the Jews of the “Ashkenazi” branch, who settled in Volyn, where they fled from Khazaria on the Volga, destroyed in 965 by the prince of the Rus Svyatoslav. It was in Volyn that, already in tsarist times, the “Pale of Permanent Jewish Settlement” was allocated for the descendants of the Khazars, Jews by faith.

Let me explain. One should not confuse the “Russian Jews”, who come primarily from the Khazars, with the “Spanish Jews” of the “Sephardi” branch. If the Jews of the “Ashkenazi” branch have Turkic blood, since in Khazaria the Jews thoroughly mixed with the nomadic Turks, mainly the Huns. The Jews of the Sephardic branch have Arab blood, since, having fled to Spain, they mixed with the Arabs along the way. However, there are no purebred peoples in the world - such peoples, remaining genetically without an influx of fresh blood, are doomed to gradual degeneration.

***

A wary attitude towards Jews - descendants of the Khazars - in Holy Rus' persisted until the Revolution of 1917. If Jews were baptized, they received all civil rights. But if you wanted to preserve the Jewish faith, then if you please, live in the permanent Jewish Pale of Settlement.

The situation changed radically after the 1917 Revolution. The Marxists-Leninists, who proclaimed the so-called “Soviet power,” immediately tried to diametrically change the people’s traditional negative attitude towards the gloomy medieval “slave trading” Great Khazar Kaganate. There was a self-serving reason here: the largest share (even larger than the German General Staff) contributed to the financing and organization of the Great October Revolution that blew up Holy Rus' in 1917 were the bankers Rothschilds and Schiffs, whose ancestors made their countless starting capitals precisely from the slave trade in Khazaria, and then they still managed to flee with capital to Europe.

And the great revolutionary himself, under the pseudonym Lenin, pretended to be a Russian Ulyanov , although in fact his ancestors were from Khazaria, and their surname was the Ulyanovs without a soft sign (the Ulyanovs came from the cruel Bek Uli, who became famous for his raids for slaves in Russia). When the Ulyanov family moved from Astrakhan to Simbirsk, however, the Ulyanov family Russified its surname - to Ulyanov. For a bribe, the clerk wrote a soft sign into the Khazar surname of the Ulyanovs, supposedly this surname came from the unknown Ulyana.

It is not surprising that at heart a hereditary Khazarian (just look at his high-cheekboned, Asian, narrow-eyed appearance) and a genetically pathological Russophobe, Lenin, taking Khazar revenge, began to affirm the Marxist-Leninist revolution by vilely accusing the entire Russian people of allegedly “Great Russian chauvinism.”

If tsarist Russia considered itself primarily an empire of “Great Russians” (as the Russians proudly called themselves in tsarist Russia), then the Marxists-Leninists began to create an atheistic (“militantly godless”) emphatically multinational Soviet in place of the Orthodox Russian monarchy under the symbolic name “Holy Rus'”. The Union is a multinational state fragmented into pieces. Moreover, the Soviet government created many national union and autonomous republics completely artificially. For example, Ukraine (Okraina). Little Russia and Novorossiya have always been considered part of the common Russian people. Just like Great Russia. But the Marxists-Leninists, by a special decree of the Leninist government, robbed the “Great Russians” of their proud self-name. They were left with only the adjective “Russians,” although in Tsarist Russia all the peoples of Russia were called Russians. Officially, according to the documents, there were Russian “Great Russians”, “Russian Ukrainians” (that is, “outskirts”), Russian Belarusians, Russian “Young Russians” (that is, Russian Caucasians), Russian Yakuts, Russian Tatars, etc.

And when the Marxists began to take the place of the community of Russian peoples and completely build a so-called “new historical community” (to create a “new historical community - the Soviet people” - this was written in the Program of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) - CPSU), then the commissars preferred to take over the example is precisely the Great Khazar Kaganate, which they declared no more, no less than the historical forerunner of the Soviet Union.

Stalin wrote in his notes in Pravda, which I mentioned above, signed by P. Ivanov:

“In the brochure (published in millions of copies. - S.S. ) Professor V.A. Parkhomenko “At the Origins of Russian Statehood (VIII–XI centuries) , ” published in 1924, and in some other works, the idea is advanced that the Khazar Kaganate, a primitive state formation that existed in the 7th– X centuries. Prof. Parkhomenko spoke frankly about the Khazar origins of Rus'. He argued that “corresponding to the role of the Normans in the north-west, at the other end of Russian territory - in the south-east - the Kozares had a dominant influence on another group of Russian-Slavic tribes, that the Slavic tribes borrowed the beginning of statehood from the Khazars. An incorrect assessment of the historical role of the Khazar Kaganate, oddly enough, is still in circulation today. It is most fully manifested in the works of the prominent archaeologist Prof. M.I. Artamonov , who has been studying the history of the Khazars for many years and has published a number of works on this issue. The main provisions of his concept by Prof. Artamonov formulated it in “Essays on the Ancient History of the Khazars,” published in 1937. In this work (replete with references to the erroneous statements of Academician Marr ), he stated that “the Khazar state cannot be ignored as the most important (?!) condition for the formation of Kievan Rus,” that the Khazar Kaganate supposedly acted “as a state almost equal in strength and the political significance of Byzantium and the Arab Caliphate." Prof. Artamonov argued that Kievan Rus entered the historical arena “in the role of a vassal of the Byzantine Empire” and that the Khazar Khaganate allegedly served for it as a model of a new type of state.”

At some point, Stalin even disgustedly ordered to completely throw out all references to the medieval Great Khazar Kaganate, not only from school, but even from university textbooks. As a result, in Soviet schools, Pushkin’s “Song of the Prophetic Oleg” was taught by heart, in which the Prophetic Oleg was going to “take revenge on the unreasonable Khazars,” but until 1991, Soviet schoolchildren did not know who these mysterious “unreasonable Khazars” were.

However, such deleting of the “unreasonable Khazars” from Russian history was hardly correct. The mysterious Khazars became a forbidden sweet fruit and the subject of much speculation. In any case, it is no coincidence that shortly before his death in 1951, Stalin himself had to speak on the Khazar issue in the central body of the CPSU.

I was told by strategic intelligence professionals that it was the acute Khazar issue that resulted in Stalin’s struggle with the cosmopolitans in 1948 (which included mainly Jews). And the dirty anti-Semitic “Doctors’ Plot”, to a certain extent, became precisely the convenient catalyst thanks to which the trinity of conspirators Beria, Khrushchev and Malenkov, with the support of a secret but influential group - the “Jewish Party within the CPSU”, managed to accelerate the death of Stalin and took the power. The trio quickly quarreled; the more active Khrushchev won the squabble.

***

After the death of Stalin during the turbid so-called Khrushchev “thaw”, the attitude towards the Great Khazar Kaganate again changed dramatically. And in 1960, the “gray eminence” of the Kremlin, the main ideologist of the Politburo, Suslov, called his secret but especially trusted assistant-consultant Alexander Baigushev. It was said:

– I allowed you to continue studying full-time at the screenwriting department of VGIK. The Cinematography Institute is a key university in the field of ideology, and I need to know first-hand what the mood is like there. I asked the director of VGIK Lebedev , given that you have already graduated from Moscow State University, to give you free attendance at lectures, so that you are not very often absent from your main job on the “red web”. I'm pleased with you. But the director of VGIK Lebedev came to me and, among other things, started talking about you. He said that you want to defend your thesis with a script for the historical film “Prince Svyatoslav.” However, VGIK has a rule that a diploma can only be defended based on a filmed script, and not a single film studio undertakes to make a film about Prince Svyatoslav, since among his exploits there is a key episode about the victorious campaign against the Jewish Khazars, and according to Stalin’s order that is still in force, this topic covered. Lebedev asked me to give you, as an exception, permission to defend the script “Prince Svyatoslav” as a diploma, since your friend, also a graduate of VGIK, the young talented director Tarkovsky , expressed a desire to direct your script . VGIK, they say, would have killed two birds with one stone with its graduate students. Just in case, I did not allow VGIK such political outrage. I told Lebedev that overturning Stalin’s decisions is not my competence, but that of the entire Politburo. But then I regretted my negative decision.

Suslov added:

– And it’s better not to philosophize here, but to give a colorful convex artistic panorama. Following the example of Lion Feuchtwanger’s great historical novel “The Jewish War”. Feuchtwanger convincingly and clearly revealed the events of the 1st century. However, unfortunately, the wonderful novel “The Jewish War” was, just in case, banned from publication by Stalin in the USSR. I didn’t dare argue with Stalin then. But here is my personal copy, given to me by Feuchtwanger himself. And let's take a risk with you. However, not with a terribly expensive film (what if it ends up on the shelf?), but with the manuscript of a historical novel. Still, the risky expenses here are not so great. Make a historical novel based on your film script, but shift the emphasis from Svyatoslav’s campaign (let Svyatoslav remain, of course!) to the situation in the Great Khazar Kaganate itself. In short, continue the feat of the wise Feuchtwanger and write “The Jewish War - 2”. You will step through a thousand years and bring events closer to our time, to the immediate birth of Holy Rus'. Your predecessor in the “red web”, Ehrenburg, wrote “The Thaw” on my direct order - and what a thunderous success it was! I'm giving the same chance to you. Dare! I have already spoken with Academician Rybakov. He told me that you are a man knowledgeable in the complex Khazar history. It turns out that you even went with him to archaeological excavations in the mountainous Crimea. So write a historical novel based on “Jewish antiquities” on the territory of the USSR. After all, the “Khazar War” of the 10th century was, a thousand years after the First Jewish War, in essence the Second Jewish War. And the Khazar War had even more fatal consequences for the geopolitics of the whole world. The terrible specter of “Invisible Khazaria” now hovers over the whole world.

Suslov pressed:

– You are given a chance to quickly dare to write a historical novel that promises to be absolutely sensational. But we need to write the most truthful novel possible about the former Great Khazar Kaganate. Exactly the most reliable! Strictly based on genuine historical facts. Stalin nailed Professor Artamonov for praising the Khazars. But no one here knows the history of the Khazars better than the director of the Leningrad Hermitage Museum Artamonov and his student Lev Gumilyov . I’ll call Artamonov: he will open the closed storerooms of the Hermitage with all the Khazar antiquities and personally show you everything. And Lev Gumilev will help you directly.

***

Suslov was a man of action. Since the party needed it, the “red web” needed it, then under the direct leadership of the famous historian and archaeologist Lev Nikolaevich Gumilyov and with the watchful supervision of Academician Rybakov himself, the sensational historical novel “The Third Temple of Solomon, or the Secret of Khazaria” was the young “plainclothes writer” Baigushev quickly written. The manuscript was quickly reviewed and received absolutely brilliant reviews from the USSR Academy of Sciences, the Prose Council of the USSR Writers' Union and the Department of Religion and Atheism, Faculty of Philosophy, Moscow State University.

The young writer Baigushev himself turned out to be far from mediocre, and the great historian Gumilyov also helped him as much as possible. On Suslov’s recommendation, the novel “The Third Temple of Solomon, or the Mystery of Khazaria” was promptly included in the thematic plan of the writer’s publishing house.

But something unexpected even by Suslov himself happened. The historical novel, which promised to be sensational (before this, there had been no works of fiction about the mysterious Khazars in the whole world), was stubborn and not allowed through by Soviet censorship. She unexpectedly suspected that under the tutelage of Gumilyov (who had a reputation as an inveterate anti-Soviet who served two terms in Soviet concentration camps), the young writer Baigushev wrote not so much a historical novel as a vivid prophetic allusion to the upcoming, equally inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union.

In vain Gumilyov, supported by the USSR Academy of Sciences and the Prose Council of the USSR Writers' Union, knocked on all authorities and tried to prove that Baigushev's historical novel about the Khazars was a complete success. That the novel is written on irrefutable documentary material, and there is not the slightest fiction in it. That’s exactly how it was, as historical sources testify.

The seditious affair scandal was discussed at a closed meeting of the Politburo. Suslov justified his risky initiative by forced international circumstances. They say that Stalin may have been right in banning the Khazar theme, but abroad, after Stalin’s death, the financial so-called “Invisible Khazaria” rapidly began to gain strength. These are the banking structures of the Rothschild global financial empire . And, they say, now it is “Invisible Khazaria” that is fueling the “Cold War”. Yes, Stalin went too far with the “doctors’ case” - he fell into anti-Semitism. But when Stalin was alive, they were at least afraid and were not particularly active as propagandists. And after Stalin’s death, “Invisible Khazaria” broke loose. Moreover, the “Cold War” is fueled by the “Invisible Khazaria” not so much against the Soviet Union, but against the Russians and indigenous Russia as an allegedly permanent geopolitical opponent of “universal human values.”

Suslov explained to the Politburo. Like, in this extremely aggravated international situation, being a firm statist, he, Suslov, considered it necessary to rein in the financial “Invisible Khazaria” - and to warn the world about the fate of the medieval Great Khazar Kaganate.

The Politburo listened carefully to its “gray eminence” and made a Solomonic decision. Agree with censorship that ordinary Soviet people can indeed misunderstand a historical novel. Therefore, it is necessary to publish the novel according to a closed list - that is, only for the especially trusted, all-understanding, selected “nomenklatura” of the CPSU. But... close your eyes if the author transfers his warning novel to the foreign “Invisible Khazaria” to the dissident “samizdat” so that the novel quickly goes to the West. And also carefully promote the dissemination of the manuscript of the novel about the Jewish Khazars for circulation in protective patriotic “Russian clubs”, which, whether you like it or not, you will have to rely on in the “Cold War” with “Invisible Khazaria”.

***

All interested parties - Suslov, academician Rybakov, Lev Gumilyov, and even the then young writer Baigushev himself were terribly pleased with the wise Solomon decision of the Khrushchev Politburo.

However, Suslov outplayed. Already at the working secretariat of the CPSU Central Committee, which was always led by Suslov and which embodied all the decisions of the Politburo, Suslov suddenly corrected the closed decision of the Politburo. He re-read the novel and realized that he had overlooked his beloved secret assistant-consultant. From the second reading, Suslov also saw in Baigushev’s historical novel about the Jewish Khazars, perhaps involuntary, but entirely allusions to Soviet power. And Suslov was afraid that if Baigushev was secretly allowed to publish his novel abroad, then he might run into an anti-Soviet company, as was the case with Doctor Zhivago. Suslov disowned his own initiative. Under the title “Lament for the Foolish Khazars,” Baigushev’s historical novel was published in the open press only after Suslov’s death—a quarter of a century later. During the declared “glasnost” of Gorbachev’s “perestroika”, when many manuscripts previously prohibited by Soviet censorship were published. However, Baigushev’s novel was published with a reduction in the particularly dangerous Masonic theme. Politburo member A.N. insisted on this. Yakovlev.

The premiere of the historical novel “Lament for the Foolish Khazars” pompously took place on October 3, 1989 in the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions and was shown on the first channel of central television. Popular folk artists Oleg Strizhenov and Elena Proklova performed scenes from the novel. The entire leadership of the Writers' Union sat on the presidium. For the first time, the Orthodox Church was allowed into the Hall of Columns under the atheistic Soviet regime. And between scenes from the novel the choir of the Moscow Patriarchate sang. The evening was hosted by Metropolitan Pitirim, editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate.

The novel by Alexander Baigushev was promptly published in the popular literary magazine of the Komsomol Central Committee “Young Guard” and was immediately published in a more complete volume (but without the Masonic theme) by order of the Voluntary Society of Book Lovers of the RSFSR by the Stolitsa publishing house. But since then (and another quarter of a century has passed) the novel has not been republished.
