At the beginning of the film, a demonstration in London at the Soviet embassy is shown. A voiceover says that "this petty Zionist agent ... recruited and paid 5 pounds from each of the demonstrators from the Zionist treasury." The recording of the 1972 demonstration against the conditions of the pregnant Lyudmila Prussakova, the wife of Valentin Prussakov, was used in the Soviet prison. The demonstration was triggered by a Bernard Levine column in The Times , which reported on Prussakova’s condition, and was organized by British actresses Haley Mills and Barbara Oberman [3] [4] .
The film reflected the anti-Zionist point of view that prevailed at that time in Soviet ideology. The film, in particular, accuses Zionism of collaborating with Nazi Germany , including the mass destruction of Jews (the Holocaust ) and the indigenous peoples of the USSR . The Soviet version of the role of Zionism in the Middle East conflict is reflected . The film presents the activities of Zionist organizations as subversive , directed against the USSR and other countries. The film also reflects an opinion on the role of the owners of transnational corporations in the politics of Zionism.

Front-line cameraman Leonid Kogan wrote in a letter addressed to Leonid Brezhnev that “the film uses the shots of Hitler’s anti-Semitic films” and it gives the impression that “Zionism and the Jews are one and the same.” Kogan called the film " Black Hundred " and expressed surprise that such a work could appear in the framework of the TSSDF studio [1] [2] .
Goskino Chairman Philip Ermash wrote, evaluating the film [5] :
With a sharp and evidence-based exposure of the reactionary nature of international Zionism, the film still contains a raid of anti-Semitism, which is completely unacceptable
Broadcasting was banned due to scandalous language. Oleg Platonov , referring to the filmmakers Karpov and Zhukov, writes that the film was banned by Yuri Andropov and the KGB general Philip Bobkov . He writes that Karpov removed from the editing room a shortened version of the film, which was then shown at the apartments of “some senior officials of the Russian leadership” [6] .
Doctor of Arts Valery Fomin found out that the film was commissioned by the ideological department of the Central Committee of the CPSU in accordance with the recommendations on strengthening the ideological struggle against Zionism and was monitored during its creation [1] . Miron Chernenko , Ph.D. in art criticism, a well-known film critic and film critic, wrote that "the authors and consultants clearly violated a certain line beyond which state anti-Semitism came into conflict with the so-called" proletarian internationalism "." Chernenko calls the film the pinnacle of “frantic“ anti-Zionist ”, but in fact anti-Semitic propaganda” that unfolded in the USSR after the end of the Six Day War [2] .
Candidate of historical sciences Nikolai Mitrokhin regarded the film as “pseudo-documentary” and connects it with the conspiracy theory , according to which Jews supposedly stand behind all the key events of the 20th century [7] .
