Jewish Influence in Russian Revolution

It is thus not surprising that as the twentieth century dawns, we

find Jews turning their attentions to the overthrow of one of the last

monarchies still opposing Jewish advancement, the Romanov dynasty

of Russia.

It is well known that the Jews had longed hoped to

overthrow the tsar.

It was natural then that Jewish philosophers such as Moses

Hess and

Karl Marx should contrive a philosophy that could make such

overthrow possible. It was also natural that

international Jewish bankers of New York, London, and Hamburg should

finance it.

The US State Department, in its three-volume report on the origins

of

communism in Russia, published in 1931, reveals how

Jewish-controlled German banks, under the leadership of Max Warburg,

conspired as early as 1914 to send large payments

to Lenin, Trotsky, and others in their attempts to bring down

the tsar.

As part of this conspiracy, Jacob Schiff, head of the New York Jewish

banking house of Kuhn Loeb, invested at least twenty

million, which would be close to one billion

dollars today, toward the

establishment of Bolshevism in Russia.

In its article on socialism, the Jewish Encyclopedia, published in

1905, freely admits that Jews in Russia were ripe

for revolution. "In Russia, it, socialism, has

become a movement of the Jewish masses."

The later Encyclopedia Judaica tells us the communist movement

and ideology played an important part in Jewish life,

particularly in the 1920s and 1930s, and

during and after World War II.

The Judaica, in fact, presents an extensive list of the most

powerful

Jewish leaders of Bolshevism, which included Trotsky,

Sverdlov,

Zinoviev,

Kamenev,

Litvinov, Kaganovich, and many others.

The Judaica also tells us just how many Jews filled the

Communist ranks.

It says antisemitism drove the bulk of Russian Jewish youth

into the ranks of the Bolshevik regime.

When the White Russian patriots heroically attempted to regain their

freedom from the Jews, the Judaica says compact Jewish

masses were utilized by the Bolsheviks to suppress such

counterrevolution.

Clearly, Jews and native Russians were engaged in a death struggle over the

destiny of Russia.

Unfortunately, the Jewish masses won.
