April 1911, Menachem Mendel Beilis was accused of murdering a Ukrainian Christian boy. Beilis was imprisoned on the basis of false evidence. After almost three years of imprisonment, Beilis was acquitted on November 10, 1913. In 1917, after the revolution, an investigation committee for this affair was established. It concluded that the government knew the real circumstances of the boy's death and staged the trial for anti-Semitic reasons.
