The Bolshevik Revolution

Who claims it

The speaker in the transcript

The claim

The speaker says Jews held strategic positions in the Bolshevik Revolution and persuaded Russians to act, that at least 20 million and by some estimates up to 60 million died, mostly Christians, with thousands of Russian Orthodox martyrs, and that schools teach the Holocaust but not this.

Evidence and counterpoints
  • The guide says some early Communist leaders had Jewish parents but had rejected Judaism, and the Communist government later shut down synagogues (chapter 12).
  • Stalin, who was not Jewish, led the worst killings, and tens of thousands of Jews were also murdered in that period (guide).
  • The Nazis used the "Jews are Communists" story as propaganda (guide).
  • Death toll estimates for the Soviet period vary widely depending on what is counted.

Points citing a chapter or the guide come from the source materials. Others are general reasoning; check them yourself.
