“Zhid” sounds an awful lot like “Yid.”
The term zhidovstvuyushchiye (Russian: жидовствующие), as it is known in the sources, is derived from the Russian word жид (zhid, from Judea, an older Russian term for Jew which is now considered pejorative).[7] Zhidovstvuyuschiye may be loosely translated as "those who follow Jewish traditions" or "those who think like Jews".
Initially popular among high-ranking statesmen and even the royal court
