There is plenty of proof, but you have to be able to open your mind to the possibility that this "icon" could have such views. I have recently purchased his "200 Years Together" (in Russian). It's a history of Jews and Russians. Instead of translating everything he infers, I'll provide you with the following link:

Now, tell me again how I'm smearing him?

Thanks for the link. I don't think a dispute about how many Jews were in the Russian revolution constitutes being a Jew hater. The Jews did form a disproportionate percentage of Russian revolutionaries. Maybe they were justified to do so.

I also think the people attacking him, on this issue, are playing with numbers. Of Lenin's top 4 lieutenants -3 were Jewish. Of the seven Politburo members after Lenin's death, 1 was a Georgian (Stalin), three were Jews (Trotsky,zinonov, kamanev) and two were Russians married to Jews (Bucharian and Rykow). The first president of the USSR (Svedlov) was a Jew.

I get a little tired of people getting smeared as anti-semitic. It's a serious charge. Hitler was an anti-semite, he actually killed Jews because they were Jews. We devalue the word when we run around charging everyone we don't like as an anti-semite.
