His work was "a reworking of the turn-of-the-century tsarist police hoax known as Protocols of the Elders of Zion". Kichko's work argued for "the existence of a universal Jewish conspiracy involving Judaism, Jewish bankers, Zionism, and Western capitalism". The Jewish population were depicted as being reactionary and subversive, all of which was based on a religious belief in "virtually every ... unattractive moral quality". The text was supported throughout by "galling ... caricatures ... which [were] reminiscent of Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda", the likes of which had been seen in the official Nazi party newspaper Der Stürmer ("the most viciously anti-Jewish Nazi publication"). The image on the book cover was of a "hooked-nose rabbinical figure, standing at his pulpit with a sack of overflowing gold coins in his clawlike hands." While the work was similar to earlier literary attacks on Jews, Kichko went further, arguing that the German-led attack on the Soviet Union begun on June 22, 1941 was a joint affair between the Jewish people and Nazi Germany.
