History of the Jews in Russia and Soviet Union: Encyclopedia - Jew

Jew - Usage note. Some uses of the term "Jew" are tainted by historic anti-Jewish bigotry. The correct adjectival form is "Jewish"; the use of "Jew" as an adjective (as in "Jew lawyer" rather than "Jewish lawyer") is associated with bigotry. The use of "Jew" or "jew" as a verb (as in "to jew someone down": to bargain for a lower price) is generally seen as an extremely offensive expression based on stereotypes. Even when used in a grammatically correct manner as a noun, the term "Jew" can objectify a ...

History of the Jews in Russia and Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Rootless cosmopolitan - Background

Towards the end and immediately after World War II, the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee (JAC) grew increasingly influential to the post-Holocaust Soviet Jewry, and was accepted as its representative in the West. As its activities sometimes contradicted official Soviet policies (see Black Book), it became a nuisance to Stalin's absolute power. The CPSU Central Committee auditing commission concluded that instead of focusing its attention on the "struggle against forces of international reaction", the JAC continued the line of the Bund — a dan ...

History of the Jews in Russia and Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Doctors' plot - The Second Holocaust controversy

Some people think that the scenario of the "Doctors' plot" was reminiscent of the previous Stalin purges of the late 1930s, and the plan to deport the whole population based on its ethnicity resembled previous similar deportations. Accordingly, some argue that Stalin was preparing a USSR-wide pogrom, the "Second Holocaust", to finish what Hitler had begun, but this time, the scheme was not completed because of Stalin's death on March 5, 1953. Proponents of this version cite mainly the memoirs (sometimes only alleged) and late testimon ...

History of the Jews in Russia and Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Zionology - Background

Zionology was presented as a socio-political science, but there is little if any evidence that the Zionologists ever complied with the scientific method. In line with the official Soviet anti-Israel and anti-West policies, they frequently recycled anti-Semitic libels in the Marxist context. Zionism, the national movement for the return of the Jewish people to Zion and their self-determination there, formed under strong leftist and socialist influences, was misrepresented according to the Communist Party policies. In his 1969 book B ...

History of the Jews in Russia and Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Bolshevik - Origins

At the 2nd Congress of the RSDLP, held in Brussels and London in August 1903, Lenin advocated limiting party membership to a small core of professional revolutionaries, leaving sympathizers outside the party, and instituting a system of centralized control known as the democratic centralist model.
