Not surprising given that anti-semitism is still very much alive and well in the world, including Russia, one of the permament members of the security council:
RUSSIA: JEWISH GROUPS UNDER ATTACK A group of legislators from the Communist Party and the nationalist party Motherland sent a letter to Prosecutor General Vladimir V. Ustinov demanding an investigation of Jewish organizations and accusing them of fomenting anti-Semitism. One Motherland member, Aleksandr Krutov, said that "often these people themselves organize provocations." Anti-Semitic incidents, including the beating of a rabbi in Moscow this month, have been on the rise in Russia. Sophia Kishkovsky (NYT)
