Nikolai Markov (1910)

Nikolai Jewgenjewitsch Markov ( Russian Николай Евгеньевич Марков ; born 21 jul. / 2. April  1866 greg. In Simferopol , Russian Empire ; † 22. April 1945 in Wiesbaden ) was a Russian politician and anti-Semitic publicist.

Life

Nikolai Markov Jewgenjewitsch came from a noble family, who in the government Kursk on large estates possessed. Markov graduated from the Moscow Cadet Corps (until 1883) and then studied at the St. Petersburg Civil Engineering Institute together with Viktor Andreevich Velichkin , Illarion Alexandrowitsch Ivanov-Schitz and Lev Nikolayevich Kekuschew , all of whom became well-known architects . After graduating, he worked as an engineer for the Kursk- Kiev Railway . As an architect, he planned the cathedral in Konotop , but did not succeed in other projects.

After the revolution of 1905 , Markov became involved in the Federation of the Russian People , a monarchist - nationalist organization that is counted among the Black Hundreds . From 1907 to 1917 he was a member of the State Duma under the name "Markow II" , where he was on the extreme right.

In 1917 he fled the October Revolution to Finland , in 1920 he settled in Berlin and was involved in “ white ” circles in Russian exile: He was the editor of the Russian-language magazine Двуглавый орёл ( Dwuglawy Orjol , German: “Doppeladler”), from 1921 until 1931 he was chairman of the "Supreme Monarchist Council" (Высший монархический совет, Wysschi monarchitscheski sowet ), a political association of Russian exiles loyal to the Tsar. When the council relocated its organizational center to Paris in the mid-1920s , Markov also moved there.

He welcomed the seizure of power by the National Socialists in Germany because he hoped that Hitler would liberate Russia from what he thought was “ Jewish Bolshevism ”. During the Bern Trial from 1933 to 1935, which involved the Protocols of the Elders of Zion , an anti-Semitic inflammatory pamphlet that tried to substantiate a Jewish world conspiracy , Markow supported the defendant's expert, the German National Socialist Ulrich Fleischhauer . In 1935 he returned to National Socialist Germany and settled in Erfurt , where Fleischhauer's Welt-Dienst was based, an anti-Semitic news agency, for whose Russian-language edition Markov was responsible from 1936. In 1939 the world service was taken over by Alfred Rosenberg and moved to Frankfurt am Main . Markov also moved there. In 1944 he went public again with a brochure about Jews as parasites . In 1945, two weeks before the end of the war in Europe, he died in Wiesbaden.

Markov's publications are determined by a pervasive anti-Semitism and far-reaching conspiracy theories . His main work Войны тёмных сил ( Vojny tëmnych sil , "The wars of the dark forces") explains the entire history of the last two millennia as a continuous defensive struggle of Christianity against alleged anti-Christian conspiracy of heretics , Satanists , Jews , Freemasons , Socialists , etc. It appeared in two volumes in 1928 and 1930, the first volume was also published in a German translation in 1935. Since Markov's anti-Semitism was mainly religious and lacked the racist component, he repeatedly had problems getting his works published in National Socialist Germany. In 1944 he published two works on Jews as alleged parasites and on their allegedly pernicious work in Russia since the 17th century.
