Ah, Robert Wilton rearing his ugly head, it's been a while. (This whole conspiracy originated with Wilton, an open anti-semite who strongly believed in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and had them published along-side his own work on the Russian Revolution, "Russia's Agony", a bizarre work that was debunked already back then in the 1920s upon its release)

His main claim is that the USSR was ruled by 354 commissars, which immediately off the gate shows he knew nothing of how the country was run. His figure for total number of commissars equates the total number of Jews in the entire party which is too much of a coincidence. He clearly took the number of Jews in the party and declared them to be 'ruling commissars' or some such nonsense when nothing of the sort ever existed. The Soviet Union was not ruled by three hundred commissars.

There were 354 Jews in the Bolshevik Party in 1917, but out of a total of twenty-three thousand, i.e., about 1.6% of the total. Some of the more prominent higher ups were of Jewish extraction or married to Jews (Lenin), but this doesn't reflect the general party organisation or Jewish representation therein. Nor were any of the Jews in the Bolshevik Party practising Jews, and many of them were anti-semitic themselves.

The idea of a Judeo-Bolshevik Conspiracy was put about by Wilton who hated Jews and was sympathetic to the Tsar, and which was seized upon by the Nazis, and relied on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (a proven forgery) and upon weak circumstantial coincidences like 'Trotsky was a Jew!' 'Marx had Jewish ancestry!' Which was then somehow extrapolated to extend across the entire movement which no evidence allows.

The state was initially ruled by the Council of People's Commissars (Sovnarkom) of which there were eighteen members, of which only Trotsky was Jewish. Or in other words, about five percent.

This was replaced by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Tseka), of which there were forty-six members in 1922. Of these Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Sokolnikov, and Radek were Jews or had Jewish ancestry. So, about ten percent.

Where is the Jewish domination? What is this nebulous vast system of commissars to which Wilton refers to? He never specifies, it doesn't exist.

The Bolshevik party was rather less than entirely Jewish, and regardless of that party's leadership they used Russian resources and Russian people. The army and the state were Russian whatever Trotsky's ancestors were.

To wage war on the scale of 1920 the nascent Bolshevik state quite literally relied upon the contribution in some form or other of just about every citizen it could command or coerce. As the vast majority of these were Orthodox Russians, it's hard to see how the Jews in the party leadership were solely responsible for anything achieved by the party. As if they were not entirely reliant upon the latent human and natural resources of the Russian nation for the pursuance of their goals, as if the Russian people were spectators and not active participants or protagonists in the drama.

But even were the Jews disproportionately represented in the anti-Tsarist movement it is hardly surprising. Tsarism created the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and persecuted Jews during the pogroms. The forceable resettlement of the Jews in the 'Pale' comprising the westernmost regions of the empire was also to be indirectly responsible for the Holocaust, as the regions the Jews were relocated to were the first regions overrun by the Germans in 1941.
