Hervé Ryssen

Ryssen was born Hervé Lalin on April 10, 1967, in Bondy, France. He obtained a master's degree in history from Paris-East Créteil University (Val-de-Marne) in 1991. His thesis focused on the Spanish Civil War. He was a history teacher for five years but he was expelled from the educational system following complaints. Ryssen was originally an anarchist and libertarian, but over time he became more right wing and joined National Front in the 1990s. On September 16, 2002, he put a pie on the face of a priest who was helping migrants and foreigners. This action was widely covered and he became well known since the incident. In the 2010s a campaign of antisemitic posters brought Ryssen into public view. From 2005 to 2015 Ryssen wrote many books and articles about Judaism, eschatology and anti-white racism. In 2015 he made a documentary called Satan in Hollywood, which criticized Jewish influence and anti-catholic bias. He took part in the yellow vest movement, and a photo of him appeared on the cover of Paris Match. In October 2018 he paid tribute to Robert Faurisson shortly after Faurisson's death and wrote on Twitter that Faurisson would be one of the very few French names still talked about in 200 years' time. In September 2020, he was jailed after having been convicted several times for anti-semitic remarks and holocaust denial, a crime in France. While he was initially sentenced to a year in prison, the sentence was later reduced on appeal to four months, meaning that he was eligible for house arrest while having to wear an electronic ankle monitor.

In his book, Psychoanalysis of Judaism, Ryssen compares Judaism to a hysterical pathology, and believes that Judaism results in anxiety, paranoia, depression, amnesia, sexual misconduct, incest, identity disorder. He believes that the unity between Jewish forces across the globe comes from their universal belief in the Jewish Messiah and communism and racial interbreeding will be two facets of this Messiah.
