Fact:
On April 3, 2017, the day Vladimir Putin was due to visit the city, a suicide bombing was carried out in the St. Petersburg metro, killing 15 people and injuring 64. An al-Qaeda affiliate, Imam Shamil Battalion, claimed responsibility.
CEP senior researcher Josh Lipowsky writes: "CEP has concluded that, contrary to reports of a new anti-Semitism, what we see in the world today is very much the same anti-Semitism we have witnessed for thousands of years but repackaged to fit modern narratives. And at the core of that historic anti-Semitism is power —accusing Jews of having too much power and seeking to take it away."
