Menachem Mendel Beilis was accused of murdering a Ukrainian Christian child named Andrei Iushchinskii in April 1911 to use his blood in Passover Matzot. Beilis was imprisoned due to false testimony and his trial began in September 1913. On the background of "the murder" and the trial, an incitement campaign was organized against the Jews. After three years of imprisonment, Beilis was acquitted. After the 1917 revolution, a committee of inquiry was established to investigate the case. Its findings proved that the government knew the truth and staged the trial for anti-Semitic reasons.
