Yes antisemitism was during Bogdan Khmelnitsky times and long before him.
However I must say that growing up in Czernowitz this kind or other type of behavior never bothered me. We were 70,000 strong in 1950-1970 and could easily rearrange the face of any antisemite that we ran into. The problem was not this but an institutionalized discrimination on the part of the government, the antisemitic quota system, when we were prevented from getting into the two institutions of higher education in Czernowiz and similar situation in the local job market. One or two students in the university and similarly in the Medical institute. We were pushed out of town by these quotas towards Ural mountains and Siberia.
The situation was bad throughout Ukraine.
These days there are no quotas thank G-d. But, on the other hand, not too many of us left there to apply the quota to.
And the over-all situation is noticeably different.
The few deranged kids that behave like this are not representative of the general mood in Ukraine.
