I'm sure many of you have heard this, but the far right likes to say that the Bolshevik party was almost only Jewish, and that the revolution was "Judeo Bolsheviks" trying to control the Russian population.
Is this a flat out anti-semitic lie and what were the demographics of the Bolsheviks?
You can read more about the topic in this thread by u/yodatsracist, and these two by u/kieslowskifan. Ethnic minorities in general, not only Jews but also Ukrainians, Georgians etc. were overrepresented in the early Bolshevik leadership, but this decreased as time went on and after the Second World War the Party actually started to become more antisemitic
