Union of Councils for Jews in the Former Soviet Union called for criminal charges of ethnic incitement to be brought against a member of the Kherson, Ukraine regional legislature after he threatened pogroms in a recent interview he gave to the Russian-Israeli news web site Izrus.co.il. Sergey Kirichneko, a former deputy in the national parliament, made several statements that echo his past language demonizing Jews.

"Artificiality and moral corruption are poured through the media controlled by Jewish owners; Jewish directors and screen writers film it, using Jewish actors," he stated. "The people of Ukraine then get depraved by drugs, alcohol, prostitution, homosexuality, lesbianism, risking rates of homelessness and more and more orphans. Through criminal gambling businesses, they take away our last kopeks."

"The Jews are the ones who are guilty of the economic difficulties of Kherson and Ukraine," the regional lawmaker added. He threatened pogroms if the Jews who supposedly run Ukraine don't give up power: "I would prefer that a just transfer of power from Jews to non-Jews in Ukraine take place in a civilized and peaceful way. Resisting this natural process would only incite tough consequences, examples of which there are plenty of in history."

Earlier this year, Mr. Kirichenko publicly stated that: "Jews are occupiers, they have occupied us, they have stolen our wealth and they control us... They create the circumstances under which the genocide of Slavs is made possible... Like in Gaza, where they kill women and children, they destroy the Slavic nation from within... Jews think we are an inferior race who ought to serve them, that's why they commit crimes against us that they wouldn't dare to commit against any other people."
