Bomb Attack Shows That Russia Hasn't Rooted Out Anti-Semitism
By SABRINA TAVERNISE
MOSCOW, May The sign was the size of a large poster, pounded into a green
roadside about 20 miles southwest of here. It stated its ugly message in
thick, block letters: "Death to Yids."
Although commuters streamed past it for a day, it was Tatyana Sapunova, a
27-year-old Muscovite, who stopped her tiny car to tear it down. But when she
gave it a tug, it exploded, ripping wounds in her legs, hands and face.
Anti-Semitism has deep roots in Russian history and is still present among
ordinary people and local authorities, far beyond any attempts by President
Vladimir V. Putin to control or curb it. On Monday morning, that anti-Semitism
lashed out at Ms. Sapunova, who was baptized as a Christian.
