| | | | | Solomon Mikhoels: 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 ...

| | | | | Solomon Mikhoels: Encyclopedia II - Vyacheslav Molotov - Foreign Minister In 1939, following the Munich agreement of 1938 by which Britain and France surrendered Czechoslovakia to Hitler, Stalin decided that it would not be possible to form an effective system of collective security against Germany through alliances with the western powers, which remained committed to appeasement, or with Poland, which would not countenance the idea of Soviet troops on its soil. He therefore decided that a treaty with Hitler was necessary, to divert Hitler's attention to Poland and the west and to buy time before the inevitable wa ...

These included allegations that he raped numerous women, and that he personally tortured and killed many of his political victims.
Charges of sexual misconduct against Beria were first made in the speech by a Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Nikolay Shatalin, at the Plenary Meeting of the committee on July 10, 1953, two weeks aft ...

| | | | | | Solomon Mikhoels: Encyclopedia II - History of the Jews in Russia and the Soviet Union - Jews and Bolshevism Many members of the Bolshevik party were ethnically Jewish, especially in the leadership of the party, and the percentage of Jewish party members among the rival Mensheviks was even higher.

For much the same reason, many non-Russians, notably Latvians or Poles, were disproportionately represented in the party leadership. This fact was abused by t ...

| | | | | Solomon Mikhoels: Encyclopedia II - History of the Jews in Russia and the Soviet Union - The collapse of the Soviet Union and emigration to Israel A mass emigration was politically undesirable for the Soviet regime. As increasing number of Soviet Jews applied to emigrate to Israel in the period following the 1967 Six Day War, many were formally refused permission to leave. A typical excuse given by the OVIR (ОВиР), the MVD department responsible for provisioning of exit visas was that the persons who had been given access at some point in their careers to information vital to Soviet national security could not be allowed to leave the country.
