Abstrakt
This study presents a short survey into the development of modern conspiracism in Europe, examining a few selected motifs of conspiracy culture which are still vital in contemporary conspiracy theories, and which, in modern times, acquired a coherent framework in conspiracy literature presenting the idea of a global plot. The peak of this systematization is then embodied by the infamous early twentieth-century pamphlet The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
