Encyclopedia Judaica on the dominant role of Jews in the Bolshevik Revolution

Bolshevism - Testimonies

The Encyclopaedia Judaica is a comprehensive, scholarly encyclopedia covering all aspects of Jewish life, history, culture, religion, and thought. It is widely regarded as the most authoritative and complete reference work on Judaism and the Jewish people.

The Communist movement and ideology played an important part in Jewish life, particularly in the 1920s, 1930s, and during and after World War II. […] Individual Jews played an important role in the early stages of Bolshevism and the Soviet regime. […] The great attraction of Communism among Russian, and later also Western, Jewry emerged only with the establishment of the Soviet regime in Russia. […] Communist trends became widespread in virtually all Jewish communities.
