Most interesting analysis of facts that are currently “not widely acknowledged” either by Western countries or by Russia, as far as I am aware anyway. Conspiracy theories aside, there did seem to be large Jewish presence associated with the Russian Revolution. Was this influence curtailed or even eliminated as a result of Stalin’s actions in the early 50’s?

Are there any good books you know of on the subject in English, that I may educate myself on the matter.

I live in Australia and once worked with a Ukranian guy who worked on the Antonov planes. He said frankly , having had 10 years of the dog eat dog mode of western capitalism , he actually preferred the old Soviet model , everything was free, life was stable and predictable.

At least until it crashed. Still Putin seems to have rebuilt the place from a smoking ruin(with help from the people themselves who are nothing if not resilient), as reflected in Russian droll humour. Australians have a similarly droll humour , I think, but lack the steely resolve of Russians.

An old Russian joke might answer your question , and remember , jokes have always had some truth to them !

Why was it necessary to include only one goy , that is , a Russian - born People 's Commissar ? So that there would be someone who could sign execution orders on Saturday ( Sabbath ) !

Interesting, implies the Revolution was almost entirely a Jewish operation.

Any jokes about Stalin’s purge of them in the early 50’s ?

Or even current ones?

Yes it was !

Well, since I was born behind the Iron Curtain and spend most of my whole life in a communist regime , my knowledge of contemporary jokes is a little different than that of those who only knew the communist dictatorship from their pathetic Hollywood movies !

Yes, jokes were made even during the greatest terror !

And yes, according to our contemporary knowledge, the members of the Council of People's Commissars were mostly composed of citizens of Jewish origin!

Too many ppl still prefer to remain willfully ignorant of the fact that Zionism/Israel has always been an Anglo-American Imperialist colonial project

The U.S. is just the British Empire's nepo baby.

Pax Britannia became Pax Americana after WW2. It is all part of globalism (Imperialism) that was carried out by the fascists of the 19th-21st Centuries.

U.S. Sen. Scoop Jackson started the project after 1967 to use Israel as a major U.S. proxy in the Middle East.

An interesting article which fills in some gaps I didn't know before, but it doesn't help me understand why modern Russia continues to play nice with Israel. Stalin over corrected to put it nicely, but now it seems like Putin's government is over correcting Stalin. Israel is not Russia's friend. Uncle Joe got this much right in the end.

Thank you for your comment Chris. I think that’s precisely the point. Russia’s relationship with Israel is not based on friendship but on realism. Stalin initially supported Israel because he believed it served Soviet interests. When he concluded it no longer did, policy changed dramatically. Modern Russia approaches Israel in a similarly pragmatic way, albeit under very different circumstances.

Today’s Russia has several reasons to maintain relations with Israel despite profound disagreements. There are deep historical ties dating back to Israel’s creation, more than a million Israelis trace their origins to the former Soviet Union, Russian remains widely spoken in Israel, and Moscow has long sought to position itself as a balancing power in the Middle East rather than a participant in regional blocs.

From a balance-of-power perspective, maintaining channels to Israel, Iran, Syria, and the Arab states simultaneously gives Moscow greater diplomatic flexibility and influence than aligning exclusively with any one side. That does not make Israel a Russian ally, but neither does it make permanent hostility a rational policy. In that sense, Putin’s approach is arguably less an overcorrection of Stalin and more a continuation of a long Russian tradition of pursuing state interests over ideological alignments.

Is there some reliable information about how many Israelis are dual Israeli-Russian citizens? Putin is their president as well, whether we like it or not.

Thanks Kautilya, educational stuff! 'Israel' became the US unsinkable aircraft carrier, and lost agency to act as a sovereign state...
