One of the signers of the letter, Communist Party deputy Albert Makashov, appeared on a popular television talk show that weekend to defend the letter's intent. Famous for his anti-Semitic speeches, Makashov has said he favors reinstatement of the Pale of Settlement, the territory in which Jews were restricted to live during the 19th century.
On the program, Makashov blamed Russia's Jews for the country's economic and social problems. About 52,000 viewers, or just over half of the program's home audience, called in to say they agreed with him.
