The Secret and Explicit Goals and Deeds of the Zionists

1970's Antizionist propaganda in the USSR
This is an important video for historical reasons, and should be viewed by anyone with an interest in antisemitism. The following description was copied from the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism site, who screened the film in 2022.

"In 1973, the Soviet Union produced a pseudo-documentary purporting to illustrate a secret and sinister role that Zionists supposedly played in world affairs, "The Hidden and the Apparent: The Goals and Exploits of Zionism."

Made with support from the KGB, the documentary turned out to be so obviously antisemitic and inflammatory that it was never screened in front of broad audiences. But the film hardly contained any “antizionist” ideas that were not part of an ongoing Soviet effort to demonize Zionism and Israel at home and abroad, many of which survive to this day.

What made this documentary so unacceptably antisemitic, as opposed to simply antizionist,” in the eyes of the authorities? To what extent was it the visual medium that helped reveal the antisemitic nature of officially-sanctioned Soviet antizionist narratives? And, finally, what is the legacy for these ideas and images for today’s antisemitism and antizionism?"
