Zinaida Vengerova

... that Jewish-Russian Zinaida Vengerova (pictured), a pioneer in Russian decadence, was accused of anti-Semitism after a group of intellectuals drank her blood in a ritual? Source: "Vengerova "donated" her blood, which the guests then passed around in a chalice. This supremely decadent rite, apparently intended as a protoecumenical bonding ceremony, only succeeded in creating a scandal for its esotericism, anti-Semitic overtones..." (^[1])
- ALT1:... that Jewish-Russian Zinaida Vengerova (pictured), a pioneer in Russian decadence, allowed a circle of intellectuals to drink her blood in a ritual described as anti-Semitic? Source: "same as above"

Created by Darwin Naz (talk). Self-nominated at 12:41, 29 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Moved to article space three days before the nomination, long enough by a good margin, neutral and supported by good sources. No indication of any copyright violation. Both hooks are short and eye-catching, and supported by the article. Source confirmed through Google Books. ~~QPQ done. This should be ready for DYK.~~ Well done! Ffranc (talk) 13:06, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On a second look, QPQ still needs to be done. Probably by mistake, the one listed here has already been used at Template:Did you know nominations/Stefania Berlinerblau. Darwin Naz, can you review another DYK nomination and post a link here once it's done? Ffranc (talk) 18:34, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Ffranc: Thank you for reviewing this DYK. I will update the QPQ. Edit: QPQ updated. Regards, Darwin Naz (talk) 11:24, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good! Ffranc (talk) 14:41, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Darwin Naz (talk) 22:23, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Darwin Naz "She died in 1941." and " Vengerova and her husband were both Jewish." needs to be referenced. SL93 (talk) 06:43, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I added refs for both. Ffranc (talk) 14:17, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Restoring approval. SL93 (talk) 16:46, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
