Countries!, this group wrote in 1923 that “overly zealous participation of Jewish Bolsheviks in
the oppression and destruction of Russia is blamed upon all of us the Soviet rule is identified
with Jewish rule, and fierce hatred of Bolsheviks turns into the equally fierce hatred of Jews. We
firmly believe that Bolshevism is the worst of all evils possible for the Jews and all other peoples
of Russia, and that to fight tooth and nail against the rule of that international rabble over Russia
is our sacred duty before humankind, culture, before our Motherland and the Jewish people.” Yet
the Jewish community reacted to these declarations with great indignation. (We will discuss this
again in the next chapter.)
