Gregor Schwartz-Bostunitsch (born 1 December 1883, d. after 1945) was a prominent figure in Nazi Germany. He was a German-Russian author in the völkisch movement and became SS-Standartenführer in 1944.
Gregor Schwartz-Bostunitsch was a radical author with German-Russian ancestry.[1] An active agitator against the Bolshevik Revolution, he fled his native Russia in 1920 and travelled widely in eastern Europe, making contact with Bulgarian Theosophists and probably with G.I. Gurdjieff.[1] As a mystical anti-communist, he developed an unshakeable belief in the Jewish-Masonic-Bolshevik world conspiracy portrayed in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.[2] In 1922 he published his first book, Freemasonry and the Russian Revolution, and emigrated to Germany in the same year.[3] He became an enthusiastic convert to Anthroposophy in 1923, but by 1929 he had repudiated it as yet another agent of the conspiracy.[3] Meanwhile, he had begun to give lectures for the Ariosophical Society[4] and was a contributor to Georg Lomer's originally Theosophical (and later, neopagan) periodical entitled Asgard: a fighting sheet for the gods of the homeland.[5] He also worked for Alfred Rosenberg's news agency during the 1920s before joining the SS.[3] He lectured widely on conspiracy theories and was appointed an honorary SS professor in 1942, but was barred from lecturing in uniform because of his unorthodox views.[3] In 1944 he was promoted to SS-Standartenführer on Himmler's recommendation.[3]
His name appears in a list of allied prisoners in May 1946, but his eventual fate is unknown.
