Stalin was notoriously anti-Semitic.


1) During the Great Purge, many Jews were killed (though they weren't singled out; others were killed too). How many were killed is not exactly known. Stalin had nearly a million of his own citizens (Jews and non-Jews) executed, while millions more died from forced labor, deportation, massacres, and detention and interrogation.
2) He forcibly transferred tens of thousands of Jews to southeastern Siberia (the Birobidzhan region).
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.
