Abstract

The relationship of Jews with power in Russia in the four centuries since Ivan the Terrible’s reign has been marked by oppression, persecution, exclusion and suppression of rights, culminating in the resumption of open anti-Semitism in the Stalinist era. Nevertheless, the cooperation of the Jewish labor movement with the Russian social democracy, which, despite a constant strangeness with the Russian proletariat, largely made the success of the Revolution possible, beckoned for the full integration of the Jews; in fact, at first the Jews obtained full civil rights. However, the III International, founded by Lenin in 1918, instituted a rigid centralism under the command of the CPSU and refused to regard the Jews as a nationality, not allowing them to participate in that organization and even refusing to admit the very existence of a “Jewish Question”.
