>Anti-semitism law
The law is part of the Lenin's Decree from 1918, titled "The Decision on the Struggle Against Anti-Semitism and Jewish Pogroms"
It says that punishment for anti-semitism must be "placed out of law", meaning summary execution by the secret police Cheka without a trial.

>Lenin, a lawyer by education and defense counsel by profession, decreed: those who committed pogroms or are involved in pogrom agitation "must be placed out of law".
>In the Russian legalese of those times, Lenin's words meant swift retribution by so-called revolutionary tribunals or even extra-judicial reprisals by the Cheka (Extra-Ordinary Commissions).
>Lenin perceived outbursts of anti-semitic acts, and inter-ethnic hatred in general, as very dangerous phenomena.
>He declared in this decree that the anti-semitic movement and pogroms directed against Jews shall be considered "a downfall for the cause of the workers' and peasants' revolution".'
Accordingly, the first Russian Soviet Republic Constitution stated:
>The Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic, recognizing the equality of rights of all citizens, irrespective of race or nationality, declares it contrary to the fundamental laws of the Republic to institute or tolerate any privileges or advantages based upon such grounds, or to repress national minorities or to limit their equality of life in any way.
