 RUSSIA 
Russian history begins on the vast stepps of Southern Russia where nomadic tribes of Scythians lived around the 8th century BC. Greek colonies began entering the territory in the latter part of the 8th century BC and between the 3rd and 6th centuries AD the Bosporan Kingdom, a Hellenistic polity, which succeeded the Greek colonies, was overwhelmed by successive waves of nomadic invasions who would then move on to Europe. A Turkic people, the Khazars, ruled the lower Volga basin steppes between the Caspian and Black Seas through the 8th century AD. They were noted for their laws, tolerance, and cosmopolitanism. The Khazars were the main commercial link between the Baltic and the Muslim Abbasid empire centered in Baghdad and were important allies of the Byzantine Empire. In the 8th century, the Khazars embraced Judaism. The ancestors of the Russians were the Slavic tribes who are an ethnic and linquistic branch of Indo-European peoples, living mainly in Europe. From the early 6th century they spread from their original homeland in Eastern Europe to inhabit most of eastern Central Europe, Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Many settled later in Siberia and Central Asia. Today about one third of all Europeans are of Slavic descent. Scandinavian Norsemen, called Vikings in Western Europe and Varangians in the East, entered Russia in the mid 9th century. According to the earliest Russian chronicle, a Varangian named Rurik was elected ruler of Novgorod about 860 AD, before his successors moved south and extended their authority to Kiev, which had been previously dominated by the Khazars.

Thus, the first East Slavic state, Kievan Rus', emerged in the 9th century along the Dnieper River valley. They controlled the trade route for furs, wax and slaves between Scandinavia and the Byzantine Empire along the Volkhov and Dnieper RIvers. By the end of the 10th century the Norse minority had merged with the Slavic population along with Greek Christian influences in the course of multiple campaigns to loot Constantinople. One campaign claimed the life of the foremost Slavic leader, Svyatoslav I who was renowned for having crushed the power of the Khazars (who had embraced Judaism) on the Volga. Kievan Rus' is important for its introduction of a Slavic variant of the Eastern Orthodox religion that defined Russian culture for the next thousand years. The region adopted Christianity in 988 by the official act of public baptism of Kiev inhabitants by Prince Vladimir I.

A nomadic Turkic people, the Kipchaks (also known as the Cumans) became the dominant force in the south steppe regions at the end of the 11th century. It became a heavy burden to repell their regular attacks for the Rus' and nomadic incursions caused a massive influx of Slavs to the safer, heavily forested regions of the north. Kievan Rus' ultimately disintegrated because of in-fighting and in the 13th century Kiev was destroyed by the Mongol Golden Horde. Part was absorbed into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth while the Mongol-dominated Vladimir-Suzdal and independent Novgorod Republic, two regions on the periphery of Kiev, would establish the basis for the modern Russian nation. The invading Mongols conquered most of the Russian principalities by 1238. Only the Novgorod Republic escaped occupation and continued to flourish. The impact of the Mongol invasion was considered uneven by some historians but it was devastating to Russian culture. The advanced city culture was almost completely destroyed. Older centers such as Kiev and Vladimir never recovered from the devastation of the initial attack and the new cities of Moscow, Tver and Nzhny Novgorod were part of a Mongol-dominated Russia.

To the Orthodox Church and most princes, the fanatical Northern Crusaders seemed a greater threat to the Russian way of life than the Mongols. Alexander Nevsky, elected prince of Novgorod in the mod 13th century, acquired heroic status as the result of major victories over the Teutonic Knights and the Swedes. The Russians did not want to convert to Roman Catholicism.

The Mongols left their impact on the Russians well into the 17th century. This period is referred to as the Tataro-Mongol Yoke. By the middle of the 14th century the Mongol power was declining and the the Grand Princes felt able to openly oppose the Mongol yoke. In 1380 on the Don River at Kulikovo the Mongols were defeated. This did not end Tartar rule of Russia but it started their decline. This also cemented the leadership of the principality of Moscow firmly in place. By the 15th century the grand princes of Moscow had been gathering Russian lands to increase the population and wealth under their rule. The most successful practitioner of this process was Ivan III known as Ivan the Great who laid the foundations for a Russian national state. Ivan competed with his powerful northwestern rival, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, for control over some of the semi-independent principalities. Through the defections of some princes, border skirmishes, and a long war with the Novgorod Republic, Ivan III was able to annex Novgorod and Tver. As a result the Grand Duchy of Moscow tripled in size under his rule. A contemporary of the Tudors and other "new monarchs" in Western Europe, Ivan proclaimed his absolute sovereignty over all Russian princes and nobles. Refusing further tribute to the Tartars, Ivan initiated a series of attacks that opened the way for the complete defeat of the declining Golden Horde. By the 16th century the rulers of Moscow considered the entire Russian territory their collective property even though various semi-independent princes still claimed specific territories. But Ivan III forced the lesser princes to acknowledge the grand prince of Moscow and his descendants as unquestioned rulers with control over military, judicial, and foreign affairs. Gradually, the Russian ruler emerged as a powerful, autocratic ruler, a tsar. The first Russian ruler to officially crown himself "Tsar" was Ivan IV (d. 1584).

Ivan IV, Ivan the Terrible |
Known as Ivan the Terrible, Ivan IV succeeded his father at the age of three in 1533. His mother served as regent until she died when he was eight. For the next eight year a series of regents chosen from among the boyars (the nobility) ruled. Finally in 1547 Ivan IV adopted the title of Tsar and set about crushing the power of the nobility by ruthlessly subordinated the nobles to his will by exile or execution. Nevertheless he is often seen as a farsighted statesman who reformed Russia with a new code of laws, established the first Russian feudal representative body, curbed the influence of clergy, and introduced the local self-management in rural regions. he also destroyed the lingering power of the Golden Horde by conquering and sacking Kazan in 1552 and Astrakhan in 1556. It was during his reign that the conquest and colonization of Siberia began. Believe it or not, Ivan was not supposed to have been very terrible at all during the early years of his reign. However, as he grew older his temper worsened, and by the 1560s he carried out a pretty horrific campaign against the boyars, confiscating their land and executing or exiling those who displeased him. In 1581, in a rage, he struck his son and heir Ivan with an iron rod, killing him. When Ivan the Terrible died in 1584, he was succeeded by his son Fyodor, who was not exactly up to filling the shoes of an autocratic legend. Fyodor left most of the management of the kingdom to his brother-in-law, Boris Godunov, and it was not long before Godunov began to work to secure the succession for himself. In 1591, he murdered Fyodor's younger brother Dmitri in the ancient town of Uglich, a spot now marked by the magnificent Church of St. Demetrius on the Blood. When Fyodor died in 1598, Godunov was made tsar, but his rule was never accepted as entirely legitimate. Within a few years a pretender arose in Poland, claiming to be Dmitri, and in 1604 he invaded Russia. Godunov died suddenly the next year, and the "Time of Troubles" began. For the next eight years both the first and a second false Dmitri laid claims to the throne, both supported by invading Polish armies. Finally, in 1613, the Poles were ousted from Moscow, and the boyars unanimously elected Michael Romanov as Tsar. The Romanov dynasty was to rule Russia for the next 304 years, until the Russian Revolution brought an end to the Tsarist state. The first few generations of Romanovs did little to change things in Russia. Then came Peter the Great. Peter was the youngest son of his father. Unfortunately for him, he was the son of his father's second wife. This brought conflict with Tsar Alexis died. Who was to rule? Peter's mother managed to have him chosen over Ivan, the son by Alexis' first wife, but no sooner was he established than Ivan's family struck back. Gaining the support of the Kremlin Guard, they launched a coup and Peter was forced to endure the horrific sight of his supporters and family members being thrown from the top of the grand Red Stair of the Faceted Palace onto the raised pikes of the Guard. Peter was ten. The result of the coup was a joint Tsar-ship with Ivan's elder sister, Sophia as regency. Peter would dislike Moscow for the rest of his life. In 1689, just as Peter was to come of age, Sophia attempted another coup--this time, however, she was defeated and confined to Novodevichiy Convent. Six years later Ivan died, leaving Peter in sole possession of the throne. Rather than taking up residence and rule in Moscow, his response was to embark on a Grand Tour of Europe. He spent about two years there, not only meeting monarchs and conducting diplomacy but also travelling incognito and even working as a ship's carpenter in Holland. He amassed a considerable body of knowledge on western European industrial techniques and state administration, and became determined to modernize the Russian state and to westernize its society.

In 1698, still on tour, Peter received news of yet another rebellion by the Kremlin Guard, instigated by Sophia despite her confinement to Novodevichiy. He returned without any sense of humor, decisively defeating the guard with his own European-drilled units, ordering a mass execution of the surviving rebels, and then hanging the bodies outside Sophia's convent window. She apparently went mad. The following day Peter began his program to recreate Russia in the image of Western Europe by personally clipping off the beards of his nobles. Peter banned traditional Muscovite dress for all men, introduced military conscription, established technical schools, replaced the church patriarchy with a holy synod answerable to himself, simplified the alphabet, tried to improve the manners of the court, changed the calendar, changed his title from Tsar to Emperor, and introduced a hundred other reforms, restrictions, and ways to improve Russian life. The clergy even decided that he was the anti-Christ! In 1703 he embarked on the most dramatic of his reforms--the decision to transfer the capital from Moscow to a new city to be built from scratch on the Gulf of Finland. Over the next nine years, at tremendous human and material cost, St. Petersburg was created. Peter generated considerable opposition during his reign, not only from the conservative clergy but also from the nobility, who were understandably rather attached to the status quo. One of the most notable critics of his policies was his own son Alexis, who naturally enough became the focus of oppositional intrigue. In fact, Alexis seemed to desire no such position, and in 1716 he fled to Vienna after renouncing his right to the succession. Having never had much occasion to trust in others, Peter suspected that Alexis had in fact fled in order to rally foreign backing. After persuading him to return, Peter had his son arrested and tried for treason. In 1718 he was sentenced to death, but died before the execution from wounds sustained during torture.

Peter himself died in 1725, and he remains one of the most controversial figures in Russian history. Although he was deeply committed to making Russia a powerful new member of modern Europe, it is questionable whether his reforms resulted in significant improvements to the lives of his subjects. Certainly he modernized Russia's military and its administrative structure, but both of these reforms were financed at the expense of the peasantry, who were increasingly forced into serfdom. After Peter's death Russia went through a great number of rulers in a distressingly short time, none of whom had much of an opportunity to leave a lasting impression. Many of Peter's reforms failed to take root in Russia, and it was not until the reign of Catherine the Great that his desire to make Russia into a great European power was in fact achieved.

BASIL'S CATHEDRAL The Cathedral of Intercession of the Virgin on the Moat, The Cathedral of the Protection of the Mother of God, better known as the Cathedral of Saint Basil the Blessed , Saint Basil's Cathedral -is situated across the square from the Kremlin. Arguably the most recognized building in Russia, it is an international symbol for the nation and for the city of Moscow. The cathedral was commissioned by Ivan IV (also known as Ivan the Terrible) to commemorate the capture of the Khanate of Kazan. It was built from 1555 to 1561. In 1588 Tsar Fedor Ivanovich had a chapel added on the eastern side above the grave of Basil Fool for Christ, a Russian Orthodox Saint after whom the cathedral was popularly named. |
From this point on we'll tell you things that the politically correct version of history always teach You decide, which would you rather know, their version or the whole truth? Truth is not Racist Facts are not Hate Know your adversary What, or who, brought Russia to her knees? Peter III, grandson of Peter the Great, was crowned Tsar on December 25, 1761. His wife, Catherine, did not accompany him. They had been married for eighteen year but their relationship was in name only. Peter was a fool and Catherine an intellect with a winning personality. Peter had no ability to rule, Catherine was more than able. After only six months of rule, Peter had managed to offend and outrage virtually the entire court and large segments of the population with his obvious disdain for Russia. Early on the morning of June 28, 1762, Catherine left her estate at Peterhof, outside of St. Petersburg, and departed for the city. Everything had been prepared in advance, and when she arrived she was greeted with cheers by both the troops of her factional supporters and the populace. By the next morning, Peter was confronted with a fait accompli--and a prepared declaration of his abdication. A week later, he was dead. Catherine went on to become the most powerful sovereign in Europe. She continued Peter the Great's reforms of the Russian state, further increasing central control over the provinces. Her skill as a diplomat, in an era that produced many extraordinary diplomats, was remarkable. Russia's influence in European affairs, as well as its territory in Eastern and Central Europe, were increased and expanded.

Catherine the Great established the Pale of Settlement in 1791 as a territory for the Jews to live in. Up to this time at least 40% of the world's Jewish population lived in an area that was greater Poland. Because of the division of Poland (see our Poland page) these Jews ended up living in Russia. The Tsarist government, starting in 1772, imposed a set of restrictions designed to protect Russia's economy and culture from the inroads of the Jews. Beginning in that year, the Jews could settle in Greater Russia, but only in certain areas. Within this 'Pale of Settlement" they were free to conduct their affairs as they pleased but travel or residence beyond the Pale was rigidly restricted. By 1897 (the date of Russia's first census) 93.9% of Russia's Jewish population lived within the Pale of Settlement. To prevent smuggling, no Jew was permitted to reside within 50 versts of the border. This was to have a significant impact on Jewish history. For the first time Jewery had a common environment and common ground to experience living together. Out of this came Yiddish speaking, Zionism...and communism.

As can be seen, they had a huge area to live and by 1885 over 4 million Jews lived in the Pale NOTICE: OVER 2 MILLION JEWS FROM THE PALE WENT TO THE US, BRITAIN, SOUTH AMERICA AND PALESTINE Source: Jewish Virtual Library |
As the Jews settled in the Pale, they set up their own tribal communities, called Kahal or Ghettos. They had their own laws and prospered beyond all expectation. They achieved a monopoly over Russia's liquor, tobacco and retain industries. Under Alexander I many of the restrictions against residence beyond the Pale of Settlement were relaxed, especially for the artisan and professional classes. When Catherine the Great died in 1796, she was succeeded by her son Paul I. Catherine never really liked Paul, and her feelings were reciprocated by her son. Paul's reign lasted only five years and was by all accounts a complete disaster. His most notable legacy is the remarkable and tragic Engineer's Castle in St. Petersburg. Paul was succeeded by his son Alexander I, who is remembered mostly for having been the ruler of Russia during Napoleon Bonaparte's epic Russian Campaign in 1812 which ended in defeat for Napoleon and a more powerful state for Russia.

Generally, the Russian Tsars kept power for themselves and away from the nobility. One way to accomplish this was by compensating the nobles for decreased power by giving them greater power over their land and it's occupants, the serfs. This system of serfdom had increased steadily in Russia from the time of Ivan the Terrible, who invented it. The Russian Tsars had almost autocratic rule over the nobles who had the same power over the serfs who were reduced to a state almost akin to slavery. By the nineteenth century, both of these relationships were under attack. In the Decembrist revolt in 1825, a group of young, reformist military officers attempted to force the adoption of a constitutional monarchy in Russia by preventing the accession of Nicholas I. Nicholas was hated by the Jews. He would not allow them to escape compulsory military duty as Alexander I had done by just paying a tax. In 1827 Nicholas abolished the custom and for the first time Jews were taken into the Imperial armies. In 1844 Nicholas I abolished the Kahal (their own tribal community) and traditional Jewish garb, attempting to force Jews to assimilate into Russian culture and life. One of the Tsarist government's efforts which would come back to haunt the Russian people for decades was to freely educate the Jewish children by force in an attempt to force them to assimilate. The result was that Russian Jewry became the best educated segment in Russia. This would eventually be the destruction of the Tsarist government, and all of Russia. Nicholas' successor, Alexander II, seemed by contrast to be amenable to reform. In 1861, he abolished serfdom, though the emancipation didn't in fact bring on any significant change in the condition of the peasants. As the country became more industrialized, its political system experienced even greater strain. Attempts by the lower classes to gain more freedom provoked fears of anarchy, and the government remained extremely conservative. As Russia became more industrialized, larger, and far more complicated, the inadequacies of autocratic Tsarist rule became increasingly apparent. By the twentieth century conditions were ripe for a serious convulsion. The reign of Alexander II marked a great increase in the fortunes of Russian Jewry. By 1880 they were becoming dominant in many professions, trades and industries and were also beginning to filter into government in increasing numbers. Depending on their vocation, more and more Jewish university graduates were allowed to settle outside the Pale. Yet Russia's Jews were increasingly rebellious over the remaining restraints which still bound the greater part of the Russian Jewry to the Pale of Settlement. After three attempts on his life, one in 1881 hatched in the home of the Jewess, Hesia Helfmann, was successful in taking the life of Alexander II. He was murdered with a grenade by the very Jews that he had given freedoms to. 
| The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is also variously called the Church on Spilt Blood and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, its official name. The name refers to the blood of the assassinated Alexander II of Russia, who was mortally wounded on that site on March 13, 1881 (Julian date March 1)Construction began in 1883 under Alexander II as a memorial to his father, Alexander II. Work progressed slowly and was finally completed during the reign of Nicholas II in 1907. Funding was provided by the Imperial family with the support of many private donors. Situated along the Griboedov Canal, the embankment at that point runs along either side of a canal. As the tsar's carriage passed along the embankment, a grenade thrown by a Jewish anarchist conspirator exploded. The tsar, shaken but unhurt, got out of the carriage and started to remonstrate with the presumed culprit. Another conspirator took the chance to explode another bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding the tsar. The tsar, bleeding heavily, was taken back to the Winter Palace where he died a few hours later. |
The reaction was instantaneous and far reaching. The belief, in and out of government, was that if the Jews were dissatisfied with the rule of Alexander II, who was described by the Jew, D'Israeli as "the most benevolent prince that ever ruled Russia", then the Jews would only be satisfied if they dominated Russia. Up to 1881 the Russian policy toward the Jews had been directed at assimilating them into Russian culture. After 1881 and the assassination of Alexander II by the Jews, the policy of the Imperial government was to prevent the further exploitation of the Russian people by the Jews. Thus began the death struggle between Tsar and Jew. Through 1881 there was widespread anti-Jewish rioting all over the empire. Jews who had been permitted to settle beyond the Pale of Settlement were evicted and the next year laws were enacted called the May Laws, laws enacted to dislodge the Jews from Russia, that shook the empire to its foundations. It only took the Jews 92 years to entrench themselves in the Russian economyu Yet they never became a part of greater Russia As they would in Germany, they refused to assimilate into Russian society The Jews were only 4.2% of the Russian population Yet when Russia tried to expel them the nation was almost bankrupt The May Laws restricted Jewish economic activity. They also attempted, unsuccessfully, to preserve Russia's cultural integrity. Jews were only permitted to attend state-supported schools in ratio to their population under the May Laws. On May 23rd a delegation of Jews headed by Baron Gunzberg called on the new Tsar, Alexander II, to protest the May Laws and alleged discrimination against Jewry. On September 3rd he issued this edict (in part): For some time the government has given its attention to the Jews and to their relations to the rest of the inhabitants of the empire, with a view of ascertaining the sad condition of the Christian inhabitants brought about by the conduct of the Jews in business matters... During the last twenty years the Jews have gradually possessed themselves of not only every trade and business in all its branches, but also of a great part of the land by buying or farming it. With few exceptions, they have as a body devoted their attention, not to enriching or benefiting the country, but to defrauding by their wiles, its inhabitants, and particularly its poor inhabitants. This conduct of theirs has called forth protests on the part of the people, as manifested in acts of violence and robbery. The government, while on the one hand doing its best to put down the disturbances, and to deliver the Jews from oppression and slaughter, have also, on the other hand, thought it a matter of urgency and justice to adopt stringent measures in order to put an end to the oppression practiced by the Jews on the inhabitants, and to free the country from their malpractices, which were, as is known, the cause of the agitations.
This you don't get in history books Just as in Germany 50 years later, the Russians attempted to protect themselves from the Jews and instead ended up being victimized by them Marxism and Zionism would spring from these roots Eventually, every Russian Jew would identify himself with either one of these movements. In 1894 Nicholas II acceded to the throne. He was not the most competent of political leaders, and his ministers were almost uniformly reactionaries. To make matters worse, the increasing Russian presence in the far east provoked the hostility of Japan. In January of 1905, the Japanese attacked, and Russia experienced a series of defeats that dissolved the tenuous support held by Nicholas' already unpopular government. Nicholas was forced to grant concessions to the reformers, including most notably a constitution and a parliament, or Duma. The power of the reform movement was founded on a new and powerful force entered Russian politics. The industrialization of the major western cities and the development of the Batu oil fields had brought together large concentrations of Russian workers, and they soon began to organize into local political councils, or soviets. It was in large part the power of the soviets, united under the Social Democratic party, that had forced Nicholas to accept reforms in 1905. In 1901 the Jewish dominated Social Revolutionary Party was born. This party was responsible for the assassination of at least six first ranking leaders of the Imperial Government. These included Minister of Education Bogolepov, Minister of Interior Sipyagin, Governor of Ufa Bagdanovich, Premier Viachelav von Plehve, Grand Duke Sergei who was the Tsar's uncle, and General Dubrassov. Chief architect of these terrorist activities was the Jew Gershuni He headed the "terror section" of the Social Revolutionary Party Yevno Azev, Jew, was in charge of the "fighting section" of the party He was also one of the principal founders of the party Azev later plotted, but failed in his mission, the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II. He was executed in 1909. Gershuni was sentenced to life imprisonment. This marked the end of the terroristic activities of the party. But the effects of these political murders was far reaching. Never again was the royal family or its ministers free from the fear of assassination and when another prime minister would be shot down, this time in the very presence of the Tsar, it would be the beginning of the end for Russia. On January 2, 1905, the Japanese captured Fort Arthur. But it would be an event later in January that would affect the attitude of Russia populace toward the Tsar for all time. Father George Gapon, a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church, was a trade union leader. A few days after Port Arthur fell the Putilov workers went on strike and Father Gapon decided to take the matter directly to the Tsar. The following Sunday thousands of Petersburg's workmen and their families turned out to participate in this appeal to the Tsar. At the gates of the palace they were met by rifle fire and hundreds of workmen and their family members were slaughtered. This was "Bloody Sunday," one of the blackest days in Tsarist history.

Tsar Nicholas II wasn't even home that day. He wasn't even in the city. Father Gapon marched on an empty palace. Father Gapon survived the massacre and fled abroad where he was welcomed by Lenin and others. Upon return to Russia he decided to become a double agent. When the Bolshevik's discovered his collaboration, they murdered him by hanging. When you make a pact with the devil, you're going to get burned.

The Marxists used the Bloody Sunday incident to their full advantage. The harm was done. For the first time the Jewish-Marxists were joined by large numbers of the working class. Bloody Sunday delivered Russia's industrial population into the hands of the Jew-dominated revolutionary movement. Did they instigate the shots at the palace? Who knows -- probably -- maybe? The Communist Jews ordered strike after strike, one of which the Jewish Menshevik-led All-Russian Railway caused great distress in the nation on October 20th. On the 21st of October a general strike was called in Petersburg and on the 25th there were general strikes in Moscow, Smolensk, Kursk and other cities. Historians say that Nicholas was "reactionary" Just as they would say Hitler was 35 years later The Jews were strangling both countries! What would you do? On October 26th the revolutionary Petersburg Soviet (council) was founded. On December 9th Trotsky, a Jew, became president and a week later 300 members of the Soviet, including Trotsky, were arrested. On December 20th, Parvus, a Jew, organized a general strike in Petersburg which involved 90,000 workers. The next day 150,000 workers went on strike in Moscow and several other major cities had insurrections. But within a week the government had gained control and the revolutionaries were in jail. The 1905 Russian Revolution is a historical term describing a wave of political terrorism, strikes, peasant unrests, mutinies, both anti-government and undirected, that swept through vast areas of the Russian Empire and ushered in the change in government.

This is when Tsar Nicholas II created representative government and a constitution. The Duma was established, free elections were held, and Russia was finally on the way to becoming a constitutional monarchy. The Jewish revolutionary parties were livid. This is not what they had planned. 
Pyotr Arkadyevich Stolypin |
Premier Peter (Pyotr) Arkadyevich Stolypin is the one who dominated Russian politics at this time. He framed the constitution, which among other things undertook to guarantee the civil rights of the peasantry, 85% of Russia's population. He instituted land reforms, which not only gave the peasants the right to own land, but actually financed the purchase with government loans. Between 1907 and 1914 two million peasant families became land owners. Then World War I broke out yet through the war the movement continued, so that by January 1, 1916, 6,200,000 peasant families, out of approximately 16,000,000 eligible, had made application for separation from the village mir (leader) and into land ownership. Stolypin's reforms would have been successful in Russia Jewish communists could not allow this to happen 
Lenin |
Lenin, who was part Jewish, saw that his time was short. Russian Jewry wanted revolution, not reform. In 1906 they made an attempt on Premier Stolypin's life by bombing his home. Finally, in September of 1911 they shot him down in cold blood while attending a gala affair at the Kiev theatre, in full view of Tsar Nicholas.

Many of Stolypin's reforms were still carried out after his death. In 1912 an industrial insurance law was enacted, in 1913 general amnesty for all political prisoners was given, public schools were expanded and the election laws were revised. Why then was the Tsar overthrown? After the war with Japan was brought to a close, Nicholas attempted to reverse the new freedoms, and his government became more reactionary than ever. Popular discontent gained strength, and Nicholas countered it with increased repression, maintaining control but worsening relations with the population. In 1912, the Social Democrats split into two camps--the radical Bolsheviks and the comparatively moderate Menshiviks. In 1914, another disastrous war once again brought on a crisis. If the Russo-Japanese war had been costly and unpopular, it was at least remote. The First World War, however, took place right on Russia's western doorstep. Unprepared militarily or industrially, the country suffered demoralizing defeats, suffered severe food shortages, and soon suffered an economic collapse. By February of 1917, the workers and soldiers had had enough. Riots broke out in St. Petersburg, then called Petrograd, and the garrison there mutinied. Workers soviets were set up, and the Duma approved the establishment of a Provisional Government to attempt to restore order in the capital. It was soon clear that Nicholas possessed no support, and on March 2 he abdicated the throne in favor of his brother Michael. No fool, Michael renounced his claim the next day.

One of the chief factors contributing to the destruction of the Imperial government was the onset of World War I. Before the war the Imperial military contained at least 1,500,000 professional troops, well trained and loyal to the crown. By 1917 the regular army was gone. Russia lost 3,800,000 troops in the first ten months of the war Officers fell at twice the rate of the enlisted men At least eighteen million men fought for Russia, most from the peasantry. And although these men were courageous in battle, they were simple folk, unreliable politically and easily incited by agitators. Suddenly Russia's cities are populated with peasants who have no idea what city life is like. They are people of the land, generation after generation they worked the soil. Now they are living in cities and they lack the knowledge necessary to adjust. They will follow anyone who will lead. This uprooted and landless peasantry, poorly adjusted to city life, is easily stirred up by Jewish propagandists Ripe for the pickin by Jewish agitators Russia, aware of the Jewish trouble makers in her midst, moved the Jews from the border areas inland and a flood of Tsar-hating Jews began infiltrating the cities Including St. Petersburg, capital city of the Romanovs St. Petersburg was Russia's chief armaments production center and had the largest industrial population of any city in Russia. It also had the largest Jewish population of any city outside the Pale of Settlement. By March 1917 the strikes had the intended effect The Russian transportation system broke down Severe food shortages resulted Factories began shutting down due to material shortages The Russian Revolution occurred in March of 1917 in St. Petersburg March 5 - Bread lines were growing day by day and idled factory workmen begin appearing on the streets in large numbers. During the day the police begin mounting machine guns in strategic places throughout the city. March 6 - Cossack troops were brought into the city in anticipation of trouble. Revolution was predicted. Shops began boarding up windows. Remaining factories were closed. The Tsar was visiting the troops at the front and had not yet made it back. March 8 - Crowds of women began street demonstrations over bread shortages. Agitators began to take charge and organize diversionary demonstrations. The crowds had raised the red flag of revolution without being fired on. March 9 - Streetcars were no longer running. The Cossacks charged the crowds but never used fire arms. Agitators were constantly at work in the crowds. March 10 - During the afternoon huge crowds collected in the streets. They drug a well dressed man from his sleigh and beat him to death. This was was the impetus for the crowd. They began breaking windows. Many of the men carried red flags on sticks. Many people were hurt. The disorder now became general. The mobs turned their fury on the police who were slaughtered and the prisons emptied of their criminals, even the most base. March 11 - Widespread rioting continued but the recently freed criminal population added to the horrors. During the day the Duma sent the following urgent message to the Tsar, "The situation is serious. There is anarchy in the capital. The government is paralyzed..." The Tsar didn't have an inkling of what was really going on. He dissolved the Duma, the overwhelming majority of which was loyal to him. The last vestige of governmental authority ceased to exist in the capital. March 12 - The president of the dissolved Duma sent this last despairing message to the Tsar: "The situation is becoming worse. Immediate means must be taken, for tomorrow it will be too late. The last hour has struck and the fast of the fatherland and the dynasty is being decided." If Nicholas II received the message, no one will ever know. Indeed, it was too late for him and for all Russia. At 1 am on the morning of the 12th one of the regiments revolted, killing its officers. By 11am six regiments had revolted. By 11:30 the garrison of the fortress surrendered and joined the revolution. Four days later the Tsar, whose train never reached Petersburg, abdicated. The closing words of his written abdication announcement were May God have mercy on Russia A provisional government was set up consisting of twelve members headed by Prince Lvow. In October it was overthrown by the Bolsheviks. At all times it governed at the will of the Petersburg Soviet. The Provisional Government set up by the Duma attempted to pursue a moderate policy, calling for a return to order and promising reform of worker's rights. However, it was unwilling to endorse the most pressing demand of the soviets--an immediate end to the war. For the next 9 months, the Provisional Government, first under Prince Lvov and then under Alexandr Kerensky, unsuccessfully attempted to establish its authority. In the meanwhile, the Bolsheviks gained increasing support from the ever more frustrated soviets. On October 25, led by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who was part Jewish, they stormed the Winter Palace and deposed the Kerensky government. Who were the Bolsheviks? Understanding who the Bolsheviks are is important because they eventually became the rulers of the Communist Party. Head of the Bolsheviks was George Plekhanov, a non-Jew, who fled Russia in the 1880s to Switzerland. There he formed the Marxist "Group for the Emancipation of Labor" with the help of three Jews -- Vera Zasulich, Leo Deutch, P. Axelrod. Lenin himself was part Jewish. His real name was Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov and in 1895 he and a Jew named Julius Martov Tsederbaum met in the Pale of Settlement to start raising funds for revolutionary activity. "The clever Russian is almost always a Jew or has Jewish blood in him."
(Dmitri Volkogonov, Lenin: A New Biography, p. 112) "Jews make the best revolutionaries."
(Israel Blank, Jewish, Lenin's grandfather)
In Petersburg they became involved in a series of strikes that swept the city in 1895 and Lenin, Martov and others were convicted and sent to prison for revolutionary activity. Upon his release in February of 1897 Lenin was permitted to travel to Siberia and took his Jewish wife with him (and her Yiddish speaking mother.) Political exiles, unless convicted of a criminal act, were not imprisoned in Siberia. They were paroled there, provided a pension to live at taxpayers expense, and allowed freedom of movement. In Siberia Lenin received a government allowance of 7 rubles, 40 kopeks monthly. In February of 1900 Lenin was released from exile and received permission to go to Switzerland. There he joined the "Group for the Emancipation of Labor." There the group began the publication of ISKRA (The Spark). This is the beginning of Russian Marxism. The board included the above listed men: Plekhanov, Zasulich, Axelrod, Lenin, Potresov, Lenin and his Jewish wife and Trotsky (real name Bronstein). All were Jewish except Plekhanov and Potresov, Lenin only part Jewish. In 1903 a Unification Congress convened in Brussels, Belgium to unite the various Marxist groups into the Russian Social-Democratic Labor Party. Altogether, 60 voting delegates attended and only four were or had been workers! The rest were mostly Jewish intellectuals. This is where communism was born. This is where the Russian Revolution of 1917 came from. These are the groups that were represented in the Unification Congress: The Jewish Bund, the Georgian Social Democrats, Rosa Luxemberg's Polish Social democrats, and the Group for the Emancipation of labor. They were now identified as "Iskrists." Rosa Luxemberg would later become pivotal in events in Germany. The Belgium Police deported some of the delegates and the Unification Congress moved en-masse to England where an ideological split divided the "Iskrists" into two groups, the Bolsheviks were the majority faction headed by Lenin and the Mensheviks were the minority faction headed by Martov. When the 1905 uprising occurred the major leaders were not in town. Only Trotsky. When the 300 members of the Soviet were finally arrested, not a single prominent Bolshevik was among them. 
Trotsky
In 1907 a fifth Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party was held, this time in London. This would be the last one before the 1917 revolution. Stalin was present at this congress (he is not Jewish). All of the leaders at this congress were Jewish except Stalin and Plakhanov. Stalin was married to a Jewess. One of the most important matters taken up by the London Congress was the bitterly controversial question of "expropriations." Lenin's Bolshevik faction had resorted to outlawry to replenish its finances. Robbery, kidnapping and theft became regular party activities. One loyal Bolshevik even married a rich widow to secure funds for the party treasury. This became known as "expropriations." The most famous expropriation was the Tiflis bank robbery engineered by Josef Stalin shortly after the London Congress. The Mensheviks bitterly criticized these tactics and Lenin defended them as necessary to raise capital. A great deal of Lenin's strength came from these sources. With money he was able to pay expenses, travel, and buy power. In 1908 the Bolsheviks began publishing their papers, all with Jewish editors. In 1909 Lenin, Zinoviev, who was Jewish, and Kamenev became leaders of the Bolsheviks. Later, Trotsky would become co-equal with Lenin. January of 1910 the 19 top leaders of the Party met in the January Plenum of the Central Committee to promote party unity. The "Sotsial Demokrata" was recognized as the general party newspaper. It's editors were all Jewish. The "Vienna Pravda" (started in 1908 by Trotsky) was declared to be an official party organ. In seven years these Jews would be the masters of Russia. When the 1917 revolution burst upon the world in St. Petersburg, the top Bolshevik leaders were unprepared. Lenin and Martov were in Switzerland and Trotsky was living in New York's East Side. It was the Petersburg Soviet (Soviet means council or committee) that controlled the mob that day in 1917, second string leaders who were quite capable of stirring up trouble but not capable of leading a revolutionary government. So when the provisional government was set up they were not the people that the Bolsheviks had in mind. They were weak men who did not participate in the revolution. Kerensky was a "Socialist." The others were typical upper-middle class members of the Duma. Head of the Provisional Government was Prince Lvov. The twelve men got the job simply because there was no one else willing to do it. And as stated, they did not in any way participate in the revolution. They were able to quell the uprising and force the Bolshevik leaders into hiding. But not for long. The Provisional Government continued the war against Germany. But the most critical, and worst thing, that they did was allow political prisoners to return from abroad and Siberia. This sealed the fate of Russia. Lenin and his fellow Jewish revolutionaries returned. From Siberia about eighty thousand were brought out! From Switzerland, France, Scandinavia, the United States, even from Argentina and other remote countries political dissidents returned to Russia. At least 80,000 returning exiles who went right into the heart of the Bolshevik Revolution They were almost to the last man professional revolutionaries With few exceptions Jewish What was the provisional government thinking? Know Your Enemy! Who returned? Stalin Sverdlov Zinoviev Lenin Martov Radek Kamenev Trotzky
All Jewish except Stalin The second important act of the Provisional Government was to create the groundwork for the election of a Constituent Assembly. It was to have delegates from all of Russia to be chosen in free elections. They would write a constitution for Russia. This the Bolsheviks could not allow. But by the time they took control the delegates had been elected so they allowed the Constituent Assembly to meet. But Bolshevik troops dispersed the meeting after 13 hours, never to meet again. In August of 1917 the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party held its Sixth Congress, the first one held since the London Congress of 1907 and the last one held before the Bolshevik Revolution. It was dominated by the Bolsheviks and from this time on the party was the Bolshevik party. Within a year the party officially changed its name to the Communist Party. The most important act of the Sixth Congress was to elect the 26 members of the October Central Committee. They would rule the Bolshevik Party through the critical days of the October Revolution, just two short months away. Lev Trotsky tells us who the critical members of this committee were in his book, "Stalin": Lenin, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Kamenev, Trotsky. All Jewish. Stalin, according to Trotsky, was not important at this time. The real leaders of the Bolshevik Party, hence the Russian Revolution Were all Jews 
On August 17th Kamenev was released from prison. A month later Trotsky was freed and on September 24 he was elected president of the Petersburg Soviet. The Bolsheviks were not in control. On October 26th the Petersburg Soviet voted to transfer all military power to a "Military Revolutionary Committee", headed by Trotsky. The Revolution was only days away. The Bolsheviks did not want the All-Russian Congress of Soviets to meet on November 7th. It was essential to overthrow the Provisional Government before then. On November 4th the Military Revolutionary Committee arranged huge mass meetings. That's when the Peter and Paul Fortress allied with the Bolsheviks. On November 6th Kerensky attempted to forestall revolution by banning all Bolshevik publications and replacing the Petersburg troops. But it was too late. Petersburg was in Bolshevik hands. On November 7th Lenin delivered a speech to the Petersburg Soviet and at 9 pm Bolshevik troops began their two day siege of the Winter Palace, the last stronghold of the Provisional Government. When the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets met at 11 pm, the Bolsheviks were in control. The Congress was not the official government of Russia. Kamenev, a Jew, became the first President. Lenin became Premier. Trotsky was made commissar of foreign affairs. All three Jews. By dawn it had elected a Central Executive Committee under the chairmanship of Kamenev, who had the distinction of being the first President of the Soviet Republic. Within a few days Serdlov, a Jew, succeeded Kamenev and became the second Jewish president of the Soviet Republic On November 25th, 18 days after the Bolshevik coup, free elections were held throughout Russia. The Provisional Government had set the machinery in place and since the Bolsheviks were not yet completely organized they made no attempt to interfere with the elections. The Bolsheviks received only a minority in the constituent assembly Now they had to undermine its authority The Provisional Government had specified that the convocation of the Assembly be in the hands of a special commission. The Bolsheviks arrested this commission In its place they substituted a "Commissary for the Constituent Assembly" headed by a Jew named Uritzky. The Bolsheviks now had authority over the Assembly and when it did convene the Jew Sverdlov took charge of the proceedings. Ten hours later the Bolsheviks walked out, causing confusion. Then the Bolshevik troops brutally brought the Constituent Assembly to an end by ejecting the delegates and locking the doors to the building. The constituent assembly never met again The Jewish Bolsheviks had won Christian Russia lost | In 1918 Robert Wilton, correspondent of the London Times in Russia, made up a table that showed the 384 Russian commissars: 2 Negroes, 13 Russians, 15 Chinamen, 22 Armenians The rest, 332, were Jews - 264 of which had come from the United States since the downfall of the Imperial Government Only 13 ethnic Russians out of 384 members of the top governing body responsible for the "Russian" Revolution it was a Jewish Revolution against White Christians Communism is a racial movement not an economic movement |

Although the Bolsheviks enjoyed substantial support in St. Petersburg and Moscow, they were by no means in control of the country as a whole. They succeeded in taking Russia out of the war (though on very unfavorable terms), but within months civil war broke out throughout Russia. For the next three years the country was devastated by civil strife, until by 1920 the Bolsheviks had finally emerged victorious 
Tsar Nicholas II Murdered by the Communists Martyred Saint of the Russian Orthodox Church His mother was Danish, his wife Hessian (German) | 
Russian Royal Family, 1913 Murdered by the Communists Martyred Saints of the Russian Orthodox Church | Murder of the Royal Family Shortly after the March Revolution of 1917 the Tsar had applied for permission for himself and his family to leave the country. Nicholas II was closely related to the royal families of England and Denmark, and he felt exile there was preferable to remaining a prisoner in his own land. The Provisional Government had been inclined to grant his request, but the Petersburg Soviet had blocked the move and the royal family had been transferred to Ekaterinburg, in south Russia. There, in 1918, they were housed in the home of a local merchant named Ipatiev. On July 17th anti-Bolshevik troops advanced on Ekaterinburg and the local commissar, A Jew by the name of Yorovsky, ordered the family, and their household servants, executed. Yorovsky personally dispatched Nicholas with a pistol shot in the head. The rest of the family was executed by a firing squad. Their bodies were then soaked in oil and burned. The former city and province of Ekaterinburg has been renamed Sverdlovsk, in honor of the Jew, Yakov Sverdlov, president of the Soviet Republic at the time of the execution |
Now the Jewish Communists had to subdue the rest of the country. Before the year was over the Soviet Government was under attack on six war fronts. Some of these anti-communist armies were organized by pro-Tsarist sympathizers; others by foreign governments. These "White Russian" (so named because they were not "red" communist) forces constituted a dangerous threat to the new regime. In March Trotsky gave up his post as Commissar of Foreign Affairs to become Commissar of War. This gave him authority over the Soviet Government's entire military resources. He organized and led the Red Army to victory. But it would take him until 1921 to route out and destroy the last of the anti-communist forces in his country.

Lenin "The interests of the revolution require the physical annihilation of the bourgeoisie class."

"The longer the rotten bourgeoisie society lives, the more and more barbaric will anti-Semitism become everywhere."
Trotsky in an 1937 interview with the New York Jewish newspaper, Daily Forward Bourgeoisie was a Bolshevik code-word for Gentile Christine The first law passed after the Jewish Communist seized power was to make anti-Semitism a crime punishable by death
(Izvestia, July 27, 1918) On August 30, 1918, the Jew, Uritzky, then head of the Cheka (secret police responsible for much murder and mayhem) was assassinated and Lenin wounded. The assassins were Jewish. Lenin ordered the murder because Uritzky refused to start a terror campaign after another Jewish commissar, Volodarsky (real name Goldstein) had been killed. Both assassins were members of the Jewish-led Social Revolutionary Party. Lenin had ordered Volodarsky's murder as well so the Bolsheviks could use this as an excuse for instituting the Red Terror, which began the next day and really never ended. In summary, the entire membership of the communist party, which in 1918 number about 100,000 (remember those returning exiles?) was turned into an instrument of murder Their aims: Inspire terror and dread among the Russian masses Exterminate the middle and upper classes (the Bourgeois) Men and women were executed or imprisoned because they belonged to the "enemy class." Merchants, professionals, landowners. This included family members as well. Without trial. Unable to defend themselves. They were stood up against walls and shot The tragedy of the Red Terror cannot be measured in numbers alone. This was the best and brightest that Russia had to offer This was Russia's leaders Priest, lawyers, merchants, army officers, university professors This was the cream of Russian civilization With their small middle and upper class exterminated, Russia's peasant and worker population accepted Jewish Bolshevism without protest. The Russian masses, deprived of its spokesmen and leaders, did not have the ability to resist. They were simply incapable of counter-revolution The Jewish intellectuals who headed up the communist party, so evil in their calculations, knew this when they set up their policy of Red Terror They set out to accomplish the neutering of the Russian population and that is exactly what they did Those that didn't die, fled The Jews killed much more than the upper class Millions of common Russians died at the hands of the Jewish Communists |
Nothing states it better than the following quote Jewish communists were murderers "Without mercy, without sparing, we will kill our enemies in scores of hundreds. Let them be thousands; let them drown themselves in their own blood. For the blood of Lenin and Uritzky, Zinoviev and Volodarsky, let there be floods of the blood of the bourgeoisie--more blood! As much as possible!"

Hoffman II, "The Great Holocaust Trial", page. 130: Here is the most genocidal political movement in world history, which created the largest concentration camps and the most horrendous slave labor system of the 20th century in which millions of Christians were slaughtered; a movement staffed in its upper echelons by Jewish Khazars and yet the world is comparatively silent about the holocaust and war crimes this thoroughly kosher system inflicted and the identity of the persons who were its architects. Auschwitz is on the tip of every tongue but who has heard of Kolyma, Magadan, the Solovetsky islands and other infernal Soviet centers of human destruction in eastern Siberia? Who has seen films and books about the millions of human beings worked, frozen and starved to death in the construction of the White Sea-Baltic Canal, over which stood a triumphant, colossal statue of the Jewish communist mass murderer Genrikh Yagoda? The Jewish-communist epoch of mass murder has disappeared into history in one of the great vanishing acts of all time. Only practiced deceivers, with all the sleight of hand of the most accomplished stage magicians, could pull off such a coup against the rest of humanity. To trick mankind into focusing nearly all espiatory sentiment, monuments and commemoration on Jewish victims and brand the Mark of Cain--the very words war crime and holocaust itself--on Germany and upon Germans alone as their proprietary trademark, must be regarded as one of the most masterful achievements of psychological warfare in the annals of illusion.

Lenin and Stalin The Two Butchers |
The history of Russia after the communist takeover is now the history of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Soviet Union. Established in December of 1922 by the leaders of the Russian Communist party, the new nation included the Russian SFSR, the Ukranian SSR, the Belarusian SSR and the Transcaucasian SFSR. The appearance was that of sovereignty, but in reality all power was with the Communist Party, which controlled the Politburo from Moscow. The Russian people had replaced one Tsar for another, more sinister one. The years between the Bolshevik Revolution and the establishment of the Soviet Union are known as war communism. Land and all industry and small business were nationalized. The peasants soon opposed these developments and Lenin came up with a new economic policy that freed them from wholesale levies of grain and allowed them to sell their surplus produce on the open market. But banking, transportation, heavy industry and public utilities were under the state. After Lenin's death, this policy would be criticized. Pheasants would be purposely starved to death to the tune of five million alone in the Ukraine. From the beginning of the revolution the government started an all out war on the family. The role of the male as head of the family was undermined. Divorce no longer required court procedure. Women were given the right to abortions so that they didn't have to be "burdened" with the responsibilities of child bearing. Girls were encouraged to pursue a career and communal nurseries were set up to care for small children. Efforts were made to shift the center of people's social life from the home to outside groups, run by the state. Medical care improved and campaigns against typhus, cholera and malaria were introduced. Infant mortality rates decreased and life expectancy increased. One of the most important social structures that the Jewish communists tore down was the church. The communists promoted atheism and materialism, which formed the basis of Marxist theory. They opposed organized religion and attempted to break the power of the Russian Orthodox Church, a pillar of the old Tsarist regime and a major barrier to Communist change. Many religious leaders were sent to internal exile in concentration camps. Members of the Communist party were forbidden to attend religious services. Atheist instruction was stressed in schools.
Joseph Stalin established near total control over Russian society once he took over. In 1928 he proposed the First Five-Year Plan for building up heavy industry and the collectivization of agriculture and the restricted manufacture of consumer goods. For the first time in history a government controlled all economic activity. As part of the plan, the government took control of agriculture through the state and collective farms. In February 1930 about one million individual peasants (kulaks) were forced off their land. When they revolted, countless were executed. Millions more died of starvation, mostly in the Ukraine and parts of southwestern Russia. The deteriorating conditions in the countryside drove millions of desperate peasants to the rapidly growing cities, fueling industrialization, and vastly increasing Russia's urban population in the space of just a few years. The plans received remarkable results in areas aside from agriculture. Russia, in many measures the poorest nation in Europe at the time of the Bolshevik Revolution, now industrialized at a phenomenal rate, far surpassing Germany's pace of industrialization in the nineteenth century and Japan's earlier in the twentieth century. Stalin's Five-Year Plans were a success as he established his personal power. The NKVD gathered in tens of thousands of Soviet citizens who were deported or executed. Of the six original members of the 1920 Politburo who survived Lenin, all were purged by Stalin. Anyone who had been loyal comrades of Lenin, high officers in the Red Army, and directors of industry were liquidated in the Great Purges. Purges in other Soviet republics also helped centralize control in the USSR. The Gulag system became an important component of Stalin's industrialization effort, especially in Siberia. An estimated eighteen million people passed through this system and at least another fifteen million experienced other forms of forced labor. Stalin and the Soviet Union were greatly alarmed when Hitler's government came to power in Germany. They saw the anti-Communist Hitler as a great threat to their own goals. In 1939 the Soviet Union signed the Non-aggression pact with Germany dividing spheres of influence between themselves in Eastern Europe. Following the agreement, the USSR normalized the relations with Germany and resumed the Soviet-German trade. Yet the Soviets failed to understand Hitler's intent when he entered Poland (see our Germany pages.) Seventeen days after the victorious German advance into Polish territory, the Red Army invaded eastern portions of Poland under the guise of protecting the Ukrainians and Belarusians and protecting Poland's "right to exist" as justification. As a result, the borders changed and the USSR started a campaign against Finland, known as the Winter War. This took a heavy death toll on the Red Army. The summer of 1940 the USSR forced Romania to cede the territories of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. At the same time, they occupied the three formerly independent Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Why no international outcry? Why no demanding that the USSR leave these independent states? Why was Germany the thrust of world hatred? Because Jews ran communist Russia Because Jews ran Washington DC Because Jews ran London Because Jews ran the media Because Jews did not run Hitler We have shown on our German pages that the
Jews declared war on Germany in 1933 The Jews wanted Germany defeated and annihilated The Jews got what they wanted In an attempt at self preservation, Hitler struck first and came across the Soviet border on June 22, 1941. It was a massive invasion and both sides fought, and died, bravely. Millions died on both sides -- millions of White Christians -- not millions of Jews. The Allies made a pact with the devil, Jewish dominated communism in the form of Stalin Germany lost -- so did White Russians Approximately 27 million Russians died 1710 towns were destroyed 70,000 settlements were destroyed the soviet economy was in a shambles One fourth of St. Petersburg died Now the Cold War started. Stalin refused to give up the territories he had conquered. Surprise! Stalin claimed he needed a "buffer zone" between Germany and the Soviet Union. Truman said that Stalin betrayed the Yalta agreement. How can you expect a Communist to keep his promises? With Eastern Europe under Red Army occupation all Stalin had to do was wait. He was already using Jewish spies in America to steal our atomic weapon secrets. Soon he would have his own atomic bomb and the power that comes with this devastating device. Stalin died in 1953 as the Greatest butcher of all mankind. But it's Hitler that people love to hate. Thanks to the power of Jewish propaganda. Hitler could have saved the world from Stalin But we allied with the devil instead Nikita Khrushchev took over the country but was impeached in 1964. Leonid Brezhnev took his place and followed Stalin's emphasis on heavy industry while attempting to ease the relationship with the US. When Mikhail Gorbachev took over the Soviet Union was ripe for change. The economic situation was struggling and social problems were receiving wider public attention under his policy of glasnost. Gorbachev's perestroika, an attempt to modernize Soviet communism, made significant changes as well. Due to price controls by 1991 there were shortages of almost all products and people had to stand in long lines and were lucky to find even the essentials and by December food was rationed in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The republics began to assert their national sovereignty over Moscow. On December 12, 1991, the Congress of Soviets of RSFSR withdrew the Province of Russia (the largest and most powerful) from the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union officially ended on December 25, 1991 and the Russian Federation took power on December 26. The smaller republics, such as Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, had already declared their independence. Others followed later. The Communist Soviet Union was gone. But not the Jews They're still out there working their destructive forces on other countries lurking -- especially in the United States of America Destroying Our Heritage RUSSIAN IMMIGRATION TO AMERICA The first Russians on U.S. territory were actually part of Russia's internal migration into Alaska, which became a colony of the Russian Empire. By 1784 the first permanent Russian settlement was founded on Kodiak, a large island off the Alaskan coast. Soon there were Russian colonies on the Alaskan mainland. By 1812 the Russians were as far south as California. In 1867 the Russian government sold Alaska to the United States and most Russians returned home. Russian influence persisted in Alaska in the form of the Orthodox Church which succeeded in converting as many as 12,000 of the native Inuit and Aleut people. Large scale emigration from Russia to the United States began in the late 1800s for reasons including economic hardship, political repression, religious discrimination or a combination of the three. Between 1881 and 1914 over 3.2 million immigrants arrived from the Russian Empire, nearly half were Jewish, only 65,000 were ethnically Russian and the remaining were Belarusians and Ukrainians. An estimated 225,000 Carpatho-Rusyns entered before World War I. They were from northeastern Hungary and Galicia in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (today far western Ukraine, eastern Slovakia and southeastern Poland.) About half eventually joined the Orthodox Church and identify themselves as Americans of Russian background. Over two million Russians immigrated between 1920 and 922 as a direct result of the Bolshevik Revolution and resulting Civil War. These were mainly non-Jewish and from the demobilized soldiers from anti-Bolshevik armies, aristocrats, Orthodox clergy, professionals, business persons, artists, intellectuals, or even peasants. All had one thing in common: a deep hatred for the new Bolshevik/Communist regime. Almost half of the Americans of Russian ancestry reside in the Northeast. The Jews in particular went to New York City, Philadelphia, Boston and other large cities. The non-Jewish Russians went to Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and the coal mining towns of eastern Pennsylvania. Nearly 5,000 members of a Russian Christian religious sect known as the Molokans settled in California. Other Russians settled in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Between 1820 and 1920 around 3,250,000 Russians immigrated to the United States, the fifth largest immigrant group from any country. The majority came after 1880.
