Andrei Zhdanov
On 26 November, 1946, Suslov sent a letter to Andrei Zhdanov, accusing the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee of spying. Suslov's letter, which was well-received among Soviet leadership, would serve as the basis for prosecution of the Committee during the anti-cosmpolitan campaign. After becoming head of the Agitprop, at the height of the anti-cosmpolitan campaign, Suslov also purged Jews from media and public institutions.
