Purporting to reveal a secret Jewish plan for global domination, it is now universally recognized by historians as a fabricated and antisemitic text, created in the early 20th century within the Russian Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"336\" data-end=\"820\"\u003eScholarly consensus holds that the document was produced by elements linked to the Tsarist secret police, the Okhrana, during a time of severe political instability.
