Khazar Love Triangle

49 minutes

EPISODE 78 | Khazar Love Triangle

An obscure 10th century confederation of Turkic-speaking peoples between the Caspian and Black Seas gets transformed through the power of imagination into anything and everything. The Khazars become symbols for a number of claims, including being the origin of the Cossacks (or at least some of them), the real Jews, fake Jews and more. Today, the Khazar Myth is often used to bolster antisemitic tropes, support pseudohistorical narratives and even justify invading another country.
