Two seperate issues, but two issues with a little synergy.

Jews were the traditional enemy in Eastern Europe: western Russia and Poland.

Except for in France during the Dreyfus Affair, anti-Semitism was much more open in Eastern Europe than in Western Europe.

There were frequent "pogroms" against the Jews.

There was a Russian conservative politician, who had called for a pogrom in 1990.

OT: In the greatest irony of all, Germany is probably the only country that ever welcomed Eastern European Jews, and before Hitler, German Jews were almost totally assimilated.
