Anti-semitism flourished in Russia long before Stalin took command of the Soviet Union. The pogroms of the 1880s led to the massive emigration of Jews to Western Europe and North America. The 1905 pogrom in Kiev was recalled by Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in her memoir My Life. Jews were an easy target, opposed by the Russian Orthodox Church, seen as capitalists by Communists and Communists by capitalists. Stalin used an easy and familiar target for a scapegoat.
At the same time, Ambassador Andrei Gromyko was the first to speak in favor of a Jewish State before the United Nations' General Assembly, so Stalin could "turn off" the faucet of hatred when it pleased him to do so.

∙ 7y agoAntisemitism didn't "develop," since it had already existed, but it did increase. This was because Stalin himself was an anti-Semite.
1) He forcibly transferred tens of thousands of Jews to southeastern Siberia (the Birobidzhan region).
2) During the Great Purge, many Jews were killed (though they weren't singled out; others were killed too).
3) Stalin promised the Nazis (Ribbentrop) to purge the Soviet Foreign Ministry of any Jewish employees, and did so (1939).
4) After the foundation of Israel in May 1948, and its alignment with the USA in the Cold War, the 2 million Soviet Jews were portrayed by the Stalinist regime as disloyal.
5) In November 1948, Soviet authorities launched a campaign to liquidate what was left of Jewish culture.
6) A campaign to remove Jews from positions of authority within the state security services was carried out in 1952-1953.
7) In 1953, a plan was hatched by Stalin to send all of the Jews to Siberia. Only Stalin's death the same year relieved the fear.
