The Bolshevik Revolution in the Soviet Union was not primarily a Russian
Revolution. Instead, it was primarily led by a non-Russian, Jewish ethnic
minority that hated Russians and the Czar for their alleged anti-Semitism.[1]
This article documents some of the evidence indicating that Jews were the
driving force behind Communism and the Bolshevik Revolution.
Jewish Sources
Many Jews and Jewish publications have confirmed the predominately Jewish nature
of Communism and the Bolshevik Revolution. For example, according to the
Encyclopedia Judaica:
The Communist movement and ideology played an important part in Jewish
life, particularly in the 1920s, 1930s, and during and after World War
II…Individual Jews played an important role in the early stages of
Bolshevism and the Soviet regime…The great attraction of Communism among
Russian, and later also Western, Jewry emerged only with the establishment
of the Soviet regime in Russia…Communist trends became widespread in
virtually all Jewish communities.[2]
Leon Trotsky’s book Stalin, written in exile, attempted to show that
Stalin had played only an insignificant role in the early days of the Communist
takeover. To illustrate his point, Trotsky reproduced a postcard depicting the
six leaders of the revolution. These leaders were: 1) Vladimir Lenin (who was at
least one-quarter Jewish, spoke Yiddish in his home, and was married to a
Jewess); 2) Trotsky (real Jewish name: Lev Bronstein); Zinoviev (real Jewish
name: Hirsch Apfelbaum); Lunacharsky (a Gentile); Kamenov (real Jewish name:
Rosenfeld); and Sverdlov (Jewish). Thus, according to Trotsky, five of the six
leaders of the Communist takeover of the Soviet Union were Jewish.[3]
Israeli historian Louis Rapoport, in his book Stalin’s War Against the Jews,
wrote:
Immediately after the Revolution, many Jews were euphoric over their high
representation in the new government. Lenin’s first Politburo was dominated
by men of Jewish origins
…Under Lenin, Jews
became involved in all aspects of the Revolution, including its dirtiest
work. Despite the Communists’ vows to eradicate anti-Semitism, it spread
rapidly after the Revolution – partly because of the prominence of so many
Jews in the Soviet administration, as well as in the traumatic, inhuman
Sovietization drives that followed. Historian Salo Baron has noted that an
immensely disproportionate number of Jews joined the new Bolshevik police,
the Cheka, “perhaps in subconscious retaliation for the many years of
suffering at the hands of the Russian police.” And many of those who fell
afoul of the Cheka would be shot by Jewish investigators.[4]
Jewish historian Dr. Angelo Solomon Rappoport wrote: “The Jews in Russia, in
their total mass, were responsible for the Revolution.”[5]
A number of Jewish
publications, such as The Jewish Chronicle, have also disclosed Vladimir
Lenin’s Jewish heritage.[6]
The Jewish magazine The American Hebrew in 1920 stated that the Bolshevik
revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains and planning. It wrote: “The
Bolshevik movement is neither polite nor tolerant; in its initial phase it was
purely destructive…What Jewish idealism and Jewish discontent have so powerfully
contributed to accomplish in Russia, the same historic qualities of the Jewish
mind and heart are tending to promote in other countries.”[7]
The predominately
Jewish nature of the Bolshevik Revolution was confirmed by the Jew, M. Cohen, on
April 12, 1919 in The Communist Charkov. Cohen stated: “Without
exaggeration, it may be said that the great Russian Revolution was indeed
accomplished by the hands of the Jews.”[8]
American Military Intelligence
Many officers in the Military Intelligence Division (MID) of the U.S. Army
reported that most Bolsheviki leaders were Jews. MID’s New York office reported
“that there is now definite evidence that Bolshevism is an international
movement controlled by Jews.” In Bern, an American agent reported that 90% of
those attending secret Bolshevik meetings were Jews. The British Government also
obtained evidence that the Bolshevik movement throughout the world is an
international conspiracy of Jews. The official MID viewpoint was that “Jewish
intellectuals have had the leading and commanding part everywhere,” and because
of “the growing power of the Jews,” they practically controlled the Soviet
government.[9]
International Jewish intrigues began to surface within MID during the summer of
1918. An agent linked the Joint Distribution Committee of Jewish War Relief, the
Federal Reserve Board, New York Jewish bankers, and the American Jewish
Committee with Jewish financiers and centers of propaganda and spying in
Germany. The agent also said that the Jewish Bolsheviks who had seized control
of Russia now conspired to overthrow other governments. Almost all of the top
leaders in the Soviet government were identified as being Jews.[10]
U.S. Gen. Amos A. Fries told MID’s chief in 1926 that Polish officers believed
that Jewish leaders, most disguised behind Russian names, really controlled the
Soviet Union. Fries wrote: “[O]f the Russian Congress some 70% were Jews and the
remaining 30% were largely figure-heads…real power…was entirely in the hands of
the Jews who were in it…for what they could get out of it, and very few
members…really believe in the doctrines which they preach.”[11]
Gen. Fries and Eli A. Helmick, inspector general of the army (1919-1927), viewed
Bolshevism as the continuation of an international conspiracy that originated
with the Illuminati in the 18th century. They told audiences that the
Illuminati incited the great French Revolution of 1789 and “were the influence
which led to the bloodshed during the reign of terror.” The Communist
International of Lenin and Trotsky was the modern form of this conspiracy, from
which more bloody destruction could be expected.[12]
MID argued that both Jewish Bolsheviks and Jews in general in the Soviet Union
profited at the expense of real Russians. Jews monopolized the privileged
government offices and easy “graft jobs,” while confiscating the old regime’s
most valuable riches and smuggling them out of the country. Jews encouraged
bribery and were behind “all speculation in foodstuffs.” Despite the
revolutionary zeal with which Jews dispatched the Red Army against enemies, one
MID informant complained that he never saw a Jew anywhere close to the front.[13]
Col. William Godson, one of the American Army’s most valued intelligence
officers, wrote from Poland: “The connection between the Jews and the Bolsheviki
at Vilna seems to be proven without a shadow of a doubt. When the Bolsheviki
entered the city, they were taken to the houses of the wealthy by the Jews and
apparently had this matter arranged beforehand.” Godson wrote two years later:
“I am so thoroughly convinced of the reality of a Jewish movement to dominate
the world that I hate to leave a stone unturned.”[14]
Other American Sources
David R. Francis, the American Ambassador to Russia at the time of the Russian
Revolution, sent a cable to the U.S. government in January 1918: “The Bolshevik
leaders here, most of whom are Jews and 90% of whom are returned exiles, care
little for Russia or any other country but are internationalists and they are
trying to start a worldwide social revolution.”[15]
Capt. Montgomery Schuyler, an American army intelligence officer in Russia
during the Russian Revolution, wrote in an official report: “It is probably
unwise to say this loudly in the United States, but the Bolshevik movement is
and has been since its beginning, guided and controlled by Russian Jews of the
greasiest types…”[16]
Schuyler returned to the United States in early 1920. In a speech at the Church
of St. John the Evangelist in New York, Schuyler stated:
The government of Russia is almost entirely Jewish, and our United States
Army in Siberia was full of Bolshevist Jews straight from Moscow. They had
entered the United States and enlisted in the U.S. Army going to Siberia.
Gen. Graves, the commander, had a staff that was almost entirely
Jewish…Owing to the Bolshevist Jews in our army, all information that should
have reached Kolchak went straight to Moscow.[17]
U.S. Congressman Louis McFadden documented the Jewish control of Soviet
communism. In a speech to Congress on June 15, 1934, McFadden said that the
Soviet government in 1917 was composed of 565 persons as follows: 32 Russians,
two Poles, one Czech, 34 Letts, three Finns, 10 Armenians, three Georgians, one
Hungarian, 10 Germans and 469 Jews. McFadden said that the Jews in the Russian
government did not represent the thoughts and ideals of the 150 million Russian
citizens. Instead, he described Jews in the Soviet government as aliens and
usurpers who were not concerned with the welfare of the Russian people.[18]
John Beaty, in his book The Iron Curtain Over America, wrote that the
first Soviet commissariats were largely staffed with Jews. Under Lenin’s and
Trotsky’s leadership, a small number of highly-trained Jews from abroad, along
with Russian Jews and non-Jewish followers of Marxist ideology, were able to
make themselves masters of Russia. The Jewish control of the Communist movement
was well understood in Russia.[19]
Henry Ford, the revolutionary automaker, knew that Jews were behind the
Bolshevik Revolution. Ford wrote:
Russian Bolshevism came out of the East Side of New York where it was
fostered by the encouragement – the religious, moral and financial
encouragement – of Jewish leaders.
Leon Trotsky (Bronstein) was an East Sider. The forces which fostered
what he stood for centered in the Kehillah and the American Jewish
Committee. Both were interested in the work he set out to do – the overthrow
of an established government, one of the allies of the United States in
World War One. Russian Bolshevism was helped to its objective by Jewish gold
from the United States – and by the ignorance and indolence of the Gentile
citizens of the United States whose crimes of omission are almost as grave
as those of Bolshevik commission.[20]
American historian Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson writes that the USSR was largely
Jewish, based far more on Jewish ethnic identity than Marxism. Josef Stalin
continued this trend and backed Jewish ethnic interests indirectly throughout
his entire life. Jews remained in control of the Stalinist system even through
the purges. Dr. Johnson also writes that Stalin had three wives, all of them
Jews, and that Vyacheslav Molotov was married to a Jew.[21]
Ernest Elmhurst confirmed the predominately Jewish nature of the Bolshevik
Revolution. He wrote:
During 1920, the Council of Commissaries consisted of 20 members, of which 17
were Jews and only three Russians. The Commissariat of War then consisted of 43
members, of which 34 were Jews. In the Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, out of
17 members 14 were Jews, while in the Commissariat of the Provinces, 21 out of
23 were of the same race, as were 45 out of the 55 members of the Commissariat
of the Interior. In the Department of the “Fourth Estate,” the Press, out of 42
members 41 were Jewish, the only exception being the “shabes goy” – Gentile
front – Maxim Gorky.[22]
Other Sources
British Intelligence reports stated that Jews controlled the Communist
revolution in the Soviet Union. The first sentence in a lengthy British
Intelligence report dated July 16, 1919, stated: “There is now definite evidence
that Bolshevism is an international movement controlled by Jews.”[23]
Winston Churchill, in an article appearing in the Illustrated Sunday Herald
on February 8, 1920, wrote: “There is no need to exaggerate the part played in
the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian
Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews....”
Churchill described Communism as a “sinister confederacy” of “International
Jews” who “have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have
become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.”
Churchill said of Communism:
It is not only a creed; it is a plan of campaign. A Communist is not only
the holder of certain opinions, he is the pledge adept of a well-thought-out
means of enforcing them. The anatomy of discontent and revolution has been
studied in every phase and aspect, and a veritable drill book prepared in a
scientific spirit of sabotaging all existing institutions. No faith need be
kept with non-Communists. Every act of goodwill, or tolerance or
conciliation or mercy or magnanimity on the part of governments or statesmen
is to be utilized for their ruin. Then, when the time is ripe and the moment
opportune, every form of lethal violence, from revolt to private
assassination, must be used without stint or compunction. The citadel will
be stormed under the banners of liberty and democracy, and once the
apparatus of power is in the hands of the Brotherhood, all opposition, all
contrary opinions must be extinguished by death. Democracy is but a tool to
be used and afterwards broken.[24]
Jews dominated the Communist secret police, which underwent many name changes,
including Cheka, OGPU, GPU, NKVD, NKGB, MGB, and KGB. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, in
his book Gulag Archipelago, lists the leading administrators of
the Communist secret police: Aron Solts, Yakov Rappoport, Lazar Kogan, Matvei
Berman, Genrikh Yagoda, and Naftaly Frenkel. All six are Jews.[25]
In fact, every head of the secret police under Josef Stalin was a Jew.[26]
Moisei Solomonovich Uritzky, a Jew, was also the Cheka’s first chief.[27]
According to a statement made by researcher Michael Mills, an official of the
government of Australia at Canberra: “It is legitimate to adopt a critical
attitude toward the relatively large number of Jews who, particularly in the
first decade after the Bolshevik revolution, collaborated with the Soviet
Government in the persecution of other peoples.”[28]
British author Nesta Webster said that Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky were
instrumental in the success of the Bolshevik Revolution. She wrote about Lenin’s
sealed train, which traveled from Switzerland to the Russian border: “Out of a
list of 165 names published, 23 are Russian, three Georgian, four Armenian, one
German, and 128 Jewish.”[29]
Webster also wrote: “At about the same time, Trotsky arrived from the United
States, followed by over 300 Jews from the East End of New York and joined up
with the Bolshevik Party.”[30]
Dr. Joseph Goebbels stated in a speech at Nuremberg on September 10, 1936:
What is called Bolshevism has nothing whatsoever to do with what we
understand by “ideas” and an “outlook on life” (Weltanschauung) in general.
It is nothing but a pathological and criminal kind of madness, devised by
Jews, as can well be proved, and led by Jews who aim at destroying the
civilized nations of Europe and at founding a Jewish-international world
regime that would subject all nations to their power...Lenin, the Father of
the Bolshevist Revolution, stated frankly that falsehoods are not only
justified but have proved to be the most effective tools in Bolshevist
struggle.[31]
Conclusion
Communism and the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia have clearly been led by a
Jewish ethnic minority. When chess genius Bobby Fischer was asked at a press
conference in 1992 about his views on Communism, Fisher said, “Soviet Communism
is basically a mask for Bolshevism which is a mask for Judaism.”[32]
Fischer correctly understood the overwhelming Jewish involvement in Communism
and the Bolshevik Revolution.
