A Russian Member of Parliament (MP) burst out in an anti-Semitic tirade last Thursday, attacking other Russian lawmakers as Jews responsible for the 1917 Communist revolution and the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Oleg Bolychev, an MP from the ruling United Russia party, called his opponents Jews, mired in opposition, during a debate at the regional parliament in Kaliningrad, reports AFP.
At the start of the 1990s, foreign spies were infiltrated into our government who oversaw the destruction of our state, claimed Bolychev. You destroyed our country in 1917 and you destroyed our country in 1991.

Your statements are a bit strong.
Yes, there were a lot of Jews in the Communist Party in Russia. The question is “why”?
Well, there are two primary reasons:
1. The Communist told a good lie about treating all people equally. This was a very powerful Siren’s call to a peoples that was oppressed regularly and viciously like the Jews in Russia.
2. The opposition of the time were extreme Russian Nationalists like the Black Hundreds — “Russia for Russians” was their cry — and they made Hitler look like an amateur in their anti-Semitism. So, of course, Jews took shelter in the Communist Party. The Communist Party at the time looked like the lesser of the evils.
Of course, what happened was ultimately a combination of the Russian Nationalism with Communism, much as Hitler joined socialism with nationalism -— resulting in mass deportations of the Russian Jewish populations to Sibera and death camps which out-did the Germans.
The slaughter of the Polish Wars gets lost in the fog of history, but it played a huge role in the origins of WW2.

And remember, all of this was going on while the Spanish Flu was sweeping around the globe, and commanded the headlines, as well.
Oh goody..it's name your scapegoat day in Russia again.
Yes, Jews were "foreign", throughout history, every place they went. Yes, they infiltrated....the honest way, through hard work and education.
But spies? Spies because they held a different position than the one(s) being held by the accuser? Me thinks somebody needs their meds.
And furthermore, why is there so much confusion on this thread about Jews in different positions throughout history? Why is it that everyone in the US believes that Jews are monolithic, cast from a single piece of material? This is a flaw in the logical structure of any argument or discussion about Jews. Jews have varying political beliefs like any other group.
And yes, anyone who works hard and studies will "rise to the top" of any movement they follow, Communist, Capitalist, beach-bum...you name it. So yes, at one time, it can be said that Jews were at the top, (in small numbers of course) of most sides of everything...so what?
Bring on the 'Protocols of Zion', that'al fix a whole lot'a mess for every lazy politician in any number of nations, including Russia.
...sheesh/Rant off.
Considering how badly the Czarist regime treated Russian Jews it’s a wonder that there wasn’t more Trotskys and Kaganovichs.
Yes, he is. Bolsheviks got a small amount of Jewish voted in 1917. As a percentage far more Latvians supported them. The Bolsheviks could never have won without the Latvian Rifle Regiments or the German high command, which brought the Bolshevik leadership back to Russia, armed and funded them
Antisemites made this claim to protect the German High Command who installed the Bolsheviks and who used antisemitism to fight communism, crippling the anticommunist movement.
Interesting points. I've heard that the Chinese actually will refer to themselves as east Asia's "Jews," for all the reasons you point out.
In 15th C. Spain, Jewish people who had survived (and often thrived) under the Moors, tended to be the best educated, most competent subjects of the Christian Spanish crown--and were "over-represented" in leadership roles of all kinds....and the Christian Spanish got jealous. Along with fighting the Moors, Jews too started to become targets, culminating later in the Spanish Inquisition.... so that with the ejection of the Moors in 1492, also came the forced ejection (or forced "conversion") of the Jews.
Apparently today 20%+ of Spanish men have Semitic (Jewish or Moorish) DNA...
yet there was no 1 million Germans killed...
The false UTOPIAN ideas notion of Mystery Babylon, mother of harlots are at the root of the world’s troubles. (no I’m not catholic bashing). It is the spirit of Antichrist, the notion that we can build our own Godless Utopia, indeed to aspire to be a super collective monstrosity that spits in God’s face; this same spirit of Antichrist is what ails the world (as opposed to being individual sons of God (as Jesus said) under the tutorship of the Holy Spirit). Some folks of Jewish/Hebrew lineage have certainly been caught up in her, syncretists such as the “Chrislam” folks are caught up in her. One worlders and secret elitists are all into her. Any one calling for socialistic/ collectivist notions of governing has drunk deeply of her soul killing blasphemies. It is hard, even for the Elect to avoid being tainted by her.
