'''Rootless cosmopolitans''' was an anti-Semitic slur levelled at [[Jew]]s in the [[Soviet Union]] under [[Joseph Stalin]].
Jewish people were labelled with this pejorative because their homeland, [[Israel]], turned on the USSR and openly supported the U.S. in the [[Cold War]].
This was part of the anti-Semitic campaign which culminated in the Night of Murdered Poets and the Doctors' Plot hoax.<ref>https://www.rbth.com/history/327399-stalin-versus-soviet-jews</ref>
