The Thirteenth Tribe by Koestler. This was the maximum extent of the Khazars. They barely touched Ukraine as you can see from this map and were eventally done in by the Rus. The Jews of Palestine, having been persecuted by the Romans and Muslims, were by 500 all over the place trying to find a niche, and real Hebrews mixed with the Khazar converts after 740. In 900 the Khazars were mostly Jews, they had diplomatic relations with the Jews in Spain and Baghdad, which were the centers of Jewish culture. They also by then had had relations for over 200 years with the Byzantine and Roman Christians and the Arab caliphates. Their empire was gone by 1200, scattered by new nomad tribes. Sorry to burst your bubble of a monolithic persistent Satanic presence, but they never worshipped Moloch. Their pre-conversion deity was an impersonal and rather abstract sky god called Tengri, with some demi-god helpers. There was not a pure Khazarian secret cabal persisting from then until now because they ended up on the run like other Jews, and the present day Jews are about as far from those people of 900 AD as the people in north America now are from the Vikings (who had some nasty habits as they all did in the bad old days). Blame the people abusing power now for their individual sins.
