Khazarian Mafia
The Khazarian Mafia is an conspiracy theory alleging that a clandestine cabal of "fake" Jews – supposedly descended from the medieval Khazars – controls global finance, media, and politics. The phrase has circulated widely on fringe media and social platforms since the 2010s–2020s and was further weaponized during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine to malign Ukrainians and Jews and to rationalize Russian aggression.
