Summary
  1. This is the second part of a study dealing with "diabolical" explanations for revolutions in European history. This volume examines Russian history between 1250-1920, showing how the gap between rulers and ruled in Russia favored the emergence of conspiracy theories, especially around the time of the October Revolution. Pp. 154-162, "La réaction: La Sainte-Légion et les Juifs", trace the influence on Alexander III of his reactionary adviser Pobedonostsev and the Svyashchennaya druzina, which instigated a series of pogroms. Pp. 219-228, "La mystique antisémite", deal with Nikolai II's mystical antisemitism, activated by the violence and pogroms in 1905, and various efforts to convince him of the existence of an international Jewish-Freemason plot. The conclusion (p. 337-346) emphasizes the role of the Whites and Russian émigrés in spreading Jewish conspiracy theories to the West after World War I.
  2. The first part of a study dealing with "diabolical" explanations for the great revolutions in history. This volume focuses on the English and French revolutions, also analyzing "diabolical" explanations in German idealist philosophy. Ch. 3 (p. 53-85), "La démonologie millénariste: Juifs et Jésuites", examines the association of Jesuits with Jews in millenarian demonology, the birth of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" in French theosophic circles in 1898, and the relationship between the "Protocols" and the Jesuits, as well as Ludendorff's obsession with a Jewish-Jesuit conspiracy in Germany. Ch. 6 (p. 201-247), "Philosophie allemande: La diabolectique", deals with "diabolical" causality and the Jews, especially in Hegel's writings and Marx's dialectical materialism.
