Here I tackle the issues of Jewish emancipation and over representation in the Bolshevik revolution with a certain academic flair. This video contains my largest list of sources ever compiled (40 ), thus showing how serious I have taken this topic in order to dispel such an impacting myth. I know many of you requested that I complete this documentary, so I do hope you enjoy my work. The video begins by outlining how exactly Jews ended up in Russia, as there were historically few Jews in both Kievan Rus, the tsardom of Muscovy, and the tsardom of Russia. It covers details on the religious tolerance of the Polish-Lithuanina commonwealth and delves into its partition, which caused a mass influx of Jewish immigrants into the Russian Empire. What resulted was the pale of settlement which was a region of restricted movement and habitation. I attempt to overlap this with Marxist theory as well to explain how Jews were drawn to the socialist movement given that they were largely Urban thus resonating with the Marxist proletarian message. The second half of the video is arguably the most important because I take this background of repression in order to show the machinations of Jewish political movements in the heyday of the revolution. This goes hand in hand with an analysis of the different political organs of the Bolshevik government, like Sovnarkom, Politburos, and so on. As expected I conclude that Jews were over represented, but not by as much as many people like to claim. The problem is other ethnic minorities were also over represented so this becomes a whataboutery argument. Finally to conclude, I delve into Stalinism albeit briefly in order to show that the character of the Soviet Union was not inherently one to be Jewish. I hope you all find this video worth the wait and would appreciate any support via my patreon page. Thank you all! Also with massive thanks to my friend Zoya for translating!
