Yevsektsiya: Encyclopedia II - Yevsektsiya - Languages and culture

Lenin wrote in his Critical Remarks on the National Question (1913): "Whoever directly or indirectly puts forward the slogan of a Jewish "national culture" is (whatever his good intentions may be) an enemy of the proletariat, a supporter of the old and of the caste position of the Jews, an accomplice of the rabbis and the bourgeosie". Yevsektsiya - Suppression of Hebrew. The Bolsheviks considered Hebrew a "reactionary language" since it was associated with both Judaism and Zionism, and ...

Yevsektsiya: Encyclopedia - Bolshevik

Bolsheviks ("Большеви́к", derived from the Russian word bol'shinstvo, "majority") were members of the Marxist Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party's Bolshevik faction. Bolsheviks had an extreme socialist and internationalist outlook, and were opponents of the Russian traditional statehood and the Russian Orthodox Church. The other faction of the RSDLP was known as the Mensheviks, derived from the word men'shinstvo ("minority"). The split into two factions occurred at the Second Party Congress in 1903. After the split, the Bolshevik party was designated as RSDLP(b) (Russian: Р ...

Yevsektsiya: Encyclopedia II - Anti-Zionist Committee of the Soviet Public - Background and history

By 1983, the Soviet regime needed a new propaganda weapon in the Cold War, as well as against increasingly active internal dissident movement, to arrest or discredit the mass emigration of Soviet Jews and to alleviate the Arab concerns about its effects to Israel's demographics. By dramatic step-up of "anti-Zionist" activities, the AZSCP was designed to solve these problems. The ethnic Jews made its core. Using Jews to destroy Jewish culture and institutions was a proven tactics to avoid accusations of anti-Semitism. (See, for example ...

Yevsektsiya: Encyclopedia II - Jewish Autonomous Oblast - History

Jewish Autonomous Oblast - Early history. In prehistoric times the Amur River region was sparsely inhabited by independent tribes (notably the Daurs, Duchers, and Tunguses). They lived according to patrimonial and tribal laws, mainly on river valleys, especially on the banks of the Amur River and its tributaries. From the middle of the seventeenth century a gradual penetration by Russians into the region began. "Soldiers and people of industry, carrying out the Tsar's will, discovered new and new lands". To discover new places with no settled population, and to "bring them under the hand of the ...

Yevsektsiya: 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 ...

Yevsektsiya: 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. Julius Martov, until then a close friend and colleague of Lenin's, agreed with him that the core of the party should consist of professional revolutionaries, but argued that party membership should be open to sympathizers, revolutionary workers and ...

Yevsektsiya: Encyclopedia II - Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee - Activities

Solomon Mikhoels, the popular actor and director of the Moscow State Jewish Theater, was appointed the JAC chairman. The JAC's newspaper in Yiddish language was called Einigkeit ("Unity", Cyrillic: Эйникейт). The JAC broadcasted pro-Soviet propaganda to foreign audiences, assuring them of the absence of anti-Semitism in the USSR. In 1943, Mikhoels and Itzik Feffer, the first official representatives of the Soviet Jewry allowed to visit the West, embarked on a seven-month tour to the USA, Mexico, Canada and Britai ...

Yevsektsiya: Encyclopedia - Anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitism (alternatively spelled antisemitism) is hostility toward or prejudice against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group, which can range from individual hatred to institutionalized, violent persecution. The highly explicit ideology of Adolf Hitler's Nazism was the most extreme example of this phenomenon. Anti-Semitism has historically taken different forms: Religious anti-Semitism, or anti-Judaism. Before the 19th century, most anti-Semitism was primarily religious in nature, based on Christian or ...

Yevsektsiya: Encyclopedia - Bourgeois nationalism

Bourgeois nationalism is a term from Marxist phraseology. It refers to the practice of dividing people by nationality, race, ethnicity, or religion, in order to make them hate (and possibly fight) each other. It is seen as a divide and conquer strategy used by the ruling classes to prevent the working class from uniting against them (hence the Marxist slogan, Workers of all countries, unite!). Minority national cultures were not completely abolished in the Soviet Union. By Soviet definition, national cultures were to be ...

Yevsektsiya: Encyclopedia II - Bolshevik - July Days

In early July widespread discontent in Petrograd led to militant demonstrations calling for the overthrow of the Provisional Government. The Bolshevik leadership opposed this as premature but ended up leading the demonstrations, hoping to prevent any bloodshed. They felt compelled to do this to win the trust of the workers and also in recognition of the fact that many of the Bolshevik rank and file were already organising and supporting the demonstrations. Troops loyal to the Provisional Government suppressed the demonstrations violently. Th ...

Yevsektsiya: Encyclopedia - Zionism and racism

Zionism maintains that the Jewish people constitute a nation and are entitled to a national homeland. Its focus is on governing the Land of Israel or Zion (a synecdoche for the Land of Israel). Jewish people have historically understood themselves to be part of a nation distinct from the non-Jewish nations. Like most nations, offspring of members are likewise considered members. However, common ancestry is not required and new members are admitted based upon prescribed criteria. None of the criteria incl ...

Yevsektsiya: Encyclopedia II - Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee - Persecution

Towards the end and immediately after the war, the JAC got involved in documenting the Holocaust. This ran contrary to the official Soviet policy to present it as atrocities against mere Soviet citizens, not acknowledging the genocide of the Jews. Some of the committee members were vocal supporters of the State of Israel, established in 1948, something that Stalin supported very briefly. Their international contacts especially to the USA at the outset of the Cold War, would eventually make them vuln ...
