Former Chief Rabbi of Moscow Pinchas Goldschmidt urged Jews to leave Russia.

This is reported by The Guardian.

Pinchas Goldschmidt warns Russian Jews that anti-Semitism is on the rise in Russia.

If you look at Russian history, you see that whenever the political system of the country was in danger, the government tried to redirect the anger and discontent of the masses to the Jewish community. This happened in Tsarist times, and at the end of Stalin's regime," Goldschmidt said.

Goldschmidt himself left the Russian Federation in early spring when the authorities began demanding that he support the war with Ukraine.
