They believed in a revolutionary interpretation of Marxism, led by a vanguard party, and aimed to create a society based on the power of the working class and soldiers. After their 1917 seizure of power, they created the Soviet Union and implemented policies like nationalizing banks and abolishing private land ownership.

ANTI-FASCISM IN THE STREETS

Who they were: A radical socialist faction that split from the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in 1903. The name “Bolshevik” means “majority” in Russian. Vladimir Lenin was the main leader of the group. They famously seized power from the Provisional Government during the October Revolution of 1917. They were followers of Marxism who believed a vanguard party of professional revolutionaries needed to lead the working class to overthrow the old government. Their goal was to establish a communist state based on the power of the working class and soldiers, leading to the creation of the Soviet Union.

They nationalized banks, ended private land ownership, and re-branded themselves as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The leader of the Bolsheviks was Vladimir Lenin, who led the party in the 1917 Russian Revolution and became the first head of the Soviet Union. Born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Lenin was a key figure in the Russian Revolution and was instrumental in the overthrow of the provisional government, leading to the establishment of the world’s first communist state. A staunch Marxist, Lenin believed in establishing a communist state ruled by councils of soldiers, peasants, and workers.

Petrovsky-Shtern examines the fate of Lenin’s ethno-biography in the book’s final two chapters. It was his sister Anna who, shortly after Lenin’s death in 1924, uncovered archival documents attesting to the Blanks’ Jewish genealogy. Anna wanted the information to be released to the public, convinced it would illustrate how the USSR brought all nations together into a community of equals. But the party ordered the information suppressed, tacitly recognizing “the power of a racist belief: once marred by Semitic blood, an individual was never able to wipe it off”. Anti-Soviet propaganda already vilified “Judeo-Communism” with prominent Bolsheviks of Jewish descent–Lev Trotsky, Grigory Zinoviev, Lev Kamenev–being held up as perfidious infiltrators. A “Jewish Lenin” was simply not an option, and despite several attempts to get them released in the 1960s, the documents remained buried as state secrets until the USSR’s collapse. Once the information came to light in the 1990s, it was seized upon with great fanfare by Russian nationalists and neo-fascists who sought to condemn the Soviet era as a tragic aberration in Russian history; the alien “Jewish Lenin” and his Judeo-Bolsheviks had sought to destroy Holy Russia. Thus, Petrovsky-Shtern concludes, the Communist Party’s censorship and the Russian fascists’ invectives were rooted in a common belief: “the Jews had no place in Russian history, either Imperial or Soviet” .

For the student of Russian-Jewish history, much of this book treads on familiar terrain, especially the sections on Lenin’s nationality policy and the history of Russian fascism. Petrovsky-Shtern also makes a handful of conclusions that are in contention among scholars. For instance, he argues that the disproportionately large representation of Jews among the Bolsheviks says “nothing historically relevant,” because the Jews who joined the party did so “to discard their Jewishness” (pp. xiii-xiv). Yet such a sweeping statement belies the heterogeneity of Lenin’s followers who, for various reasons, embraced his vision of communism. A “Jewish Lenin” may be fictitious because Lenin’s family had discarded Judaism and erased its memory two generations earlier; this was not so for many Jewish Bolsheviks who were intimately connected to (or at least consciously aware of) the world of their ancestors they yearned to abandon. Such an awareness undoubtedly influenced their political commitments.
