Seems a bit of a stretch. Orientalism? Sure, I can see that. Antisemitism? I'm going to need some convincing.
i think in this specific instance its serving the same purpose of demonizing our ideas by using a popular hated strawman. which was jews at that time, but is russia now.
in general this is one the final purposes of these -isms and -phobias they keep pushing constantly.

yeah, fascism and racism have a close relationship, for example.
fascism can't sustain itself without an 'other' out-group they can focus people's anger at.
preferrably a minority that has a harder time defending itself and putting the ruse into question, but it can technically even be an entire other nationality.
