Rootless cosmopolitans was an anti-Semitic slur levelled at Jews 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.[1]
