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.
