==Western anti-Semitic attacks against Abramovich==

In 2021, the [[Anti-Defamation League]] reported on its website:
{{Cquote|What happened to the owner of the [[Chelsea football club]], the [[Jew]] Roman Abramovich, over the past three weeks clearly demonstrates this phenomenon. Abramovich has repeatedly been the target of crude [[anti-Semitic]] attacks on [[Twitter]]. Here are the posts left by some users:

Roman Abramovich, a Jew, stop supporting Chelsea.
"The Jews really do rule the world. I was surprised to learn that Roman Abramovich is one of them.
- @премьер League. Continue to arrange agreements for the Jew Abramovich.
"[Chelsea manager Thomas] Tuchel will not receive support in the summer. He is German, and Abramovich is a Russian Jew.

"I guarantee you that [Chelsea player Timo] Werner would have scored 30 goals this season if he hadn't known that Roman Abramovich is Jewish."}}
According to the Anti-Defamation League, "Abramovich has been the owner of Chelsea Football Club for 18 years. Chelsea Football Club is one of the leading fighters against anti-Semitism in [[European]] football. The club carries out extensive [[education]]al activities both among fans and in the network of [[school]]s, with which it cooperates in the implementation of the anti-[[racist]] agenda.

Roman Abramovich is funding a program in Israel that brings Jewish and [[Arab]] [[children]] together on the [[soccer]] fields. More than 1,000 Arab and Jewish children will socialise through football each year, with Chelsea funding the organisation and club staff coaching local coaches. The expanded "Fair Play Leading to Peace" program will break down barriers by uniting communities in Israel.

In May 2021, according to Chelsea management, he suffered unprecedented attacks on [[social media]], with a total of almost 3000 messages sent, coinciding with anti-Semitism and racism in the [[UK]]
