 Beyond the Pale: The Campaign against "Cosmopolitans" and the "Doctor's Plot"
The mysterious murder of Solomon Mikhoels in Minsk on January 13, 1948, is an ominous sign.
The same year, an increasing number of articles in the press accuse so-called "rootless cosmopolitans" of "demolishing national pride," "harboring anti-patriotic views" and "fawning on the West." More and more the attacks take on an anti-Jewish character, as most of the attacked bear distinctly Jewish names, often given in brackets next to their Russified names.
Soviet policy makers, and Stalin in particular, harbor a growing suspicion about the loyalty of Soviet Jews, many of whom have relatives in the United States, now the enemy.

The secular Jewish culture epitomized by the Moscow State Yiddish Theater continued to flourish in the late 1930's — although Mikhoels and his second star, Benjamin Zuskin, feared for their lives, and with good reason.
Still, he argues, Mikhoels was essentially apolitical — shunning any sort of activism and refusing to join even the actors' union.
Mikhoels was accorded a state funeral but, for Soviet Jews, his murder signaled a terror that would last through Stalin's death.
