Solzhenitsyn Book Infuriates Russian Jews
Alexander Solzhenitsyn's charge in his latest book that Jews were as much
perpetrators of Soviet communist repression as they were its victims has
infuriated Russian Jews, who say that the book is filled with inaccuracies.
One prominent Jewish leader told Britain's Guardian newspaper that the book was
without merit.
"This is a mistake, but even geniuses make mistakes," Yevgeny Satanovsky,
president of the Russian Jewish Congress told the Guardian. "Richard Wagner did
not like the Jews, but was a great composer. Dostoyevsky was a great Russian
writer, but had a very sceptical attitude towards the Jews.
"This is not a book about how the Jews and Russians lived together for 200
years, but one about how they lived apart after finding themselves on the same
territory. This book is a weak one professionally. Factually, it is so bad as to
be beyond criticism. As literature, it is not of any merit."
In the book, "Two Hundred Years Together," Solzhenitsyn, 84, who won the Nobel
Prize for Literature in 1970 for being the first to expose the horrors of the
Stalinist gulag [the chain of brutal Soviet prison camps where he was
imprisoned], deals with one of the last taboos of the communist revolution: that
Jews were as much perpetrators of the repression as its victims.
One charge that has Russian Jews angry was his claim that "If I would care to
generalise, and to say that the life of the Jews in the camps was especially
hard, I could, and would not face reproach for an unjust national
generalisation. But in the camps where I was kept, it was different. The Jews
whose experience I saw - their life was softer than that of others."
He then adds: "But it is impossible to find the answer to the eternal question:
who is to be blamed, who led us to our death? To explain the actions of the Kiev
cheka [secret police - forerunners of the KGB] only by the fact that two thirds
were Jews, is certainly incorrect."
According to the Guardian, the book's title refers to the 1772 partial
annexation of Poland and Russia which greatly increased the Russian Jewish
population. Three chapters discuss the Jewish role in the revolutionary genocide
and secret police purges of Soviet Russia.
Solzhenitsyn argues that Russia must come to terms with the Stalinist and
revolutionary genocides - and that its Jewish population should be as offended
at their own role in the purges as they are at the Soviet power that also
persecuted them.
"My book was directed to empathise with the thoughts, feelings and the
psychology of the Jews - their spiritual component," he said. "I have never made
general conclusions about a people. I will always differentiate between layers
of Jews. One layer rushed headfirst to the revolution. Another, to the contrary,
was trying to stand back. The Jewish subject for a long time was considered
prohibited. Zhabotinsky [a Jewish writer] once said that the best service our
Russian friends give to us is never to speak aloud about us."
DM Thomas, one of Solzhenitsyn's biographers, told the Guardian that he did not
think the book was fuelled by anti-Semitism. "I would not doubt his sincerity.
He says that he firmly supports the state of Israel. In his fiction and factual
writing there are Jewish characters that he writes about who are bright, decent,
anti-Stalinist people."
Professor Robert Service of Oxford University, an expert on 20th century Russian
history, praised the book saying what he has read about it shows that
Solzhenitsyn was "absolutely right".
While researching a book on Lenin, Prof Service told the Guardian that he came
across details of how Trotsky, who was of Jewish origin, asked the politburo in
1919 to ensure that Jews were enrolled in the Red army. Trotsky said that Jews
were disproportionately represented in the Soviet civil bureaucracy, including
the cheka.
"Trotsky's idea was that the spread of anti-Semitism was [partly due to]
objections about their entrance into the civil service. There is something in
this; that they were not just passive spectators of the revolution. They were
part-victims and part-perpetrators."
Less complimentary was Vassili Berezhkov, a retired KGB colonel and historian of
the secret services and the NKVD (the precursor of the KGB) who told the
Guardian that he failed to see the need for Solzhenitsyn's reopening past wounds
at this time.
"The question of ethnicity did not have any importance either in the revolution
or the story of the NKVD. This was a social revolution and those who served in
the NKVD and cheka were serving ideas of social change," he explained.
"If Solzhenitsyn writes that there were many Jews in the NKVD, it will increase
the passions of anti-Semitism, which has deep roots in Russian history. I think
it is better not to discuss such a question now."

Solzhenitsyn breaks last taboo of the revolution
Nobel laureate under fire for new book on the role of Jews in Soviet-era
repression
Nick Paton Walsh in Moscow
Saturday January 25, 2003
The Guardian
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who first exposed the horrors of the Stalinist
gulag, is now attempting to tackle one of the most sensitive topics of his
writing career - the role of the Jews in the Bolshevik revolution and
Soviet purges.
In his latest book Solzhenitsyn, 84, deals with one of the last taboos of
the communist revolution: that Jews were as much perpetrators of the
repression as its victims. Two Hundred Years Together - a reference to the
1772 partial annexation of Poland and Russia which greatly increased the
Russian Jewish population - contains three chapters discussing the Jewish
role in the revolutionary genocide and secret police purges of Soviet
Russia.
But Jewish leaders and some historians have reacted furiously to the book,
and questioned Solzhenitsyn's motives in writing it, accusing him of
factual inaccuracies and of fanning the flames of anti-semitism in Russia.
Solzhenitsyn argues that some Jewish satire of the revolutionary period
"consciously or unconsciously descends on the Russians" as being behind the
genocide. But he states that all the nation's ethnic groups must share the
blame, and that people shy away from speaking the truth about the Jewish
experience.
In one remark which infuriated Russian Jews, he wrote: "If I would care to
generalise, and to say that the life of the Jews in the camps was
especially hard, I could, and would not face reproach for an unjust
national generalisation. But in the camps where I was kept, it was
different. The Jews whose experience I saw - their life was softer than
that of others."
Yet he added: "But it is impossible to find the answer to the eternal
question: who is to be blamed, who led us to our death? To explain the
actions of the Kiev cheka [secret police] only by the fact that two thirds
were Jews, is certainly incorrect."
Solzhenitsyn, awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970, spent much of
his life in Soviet prison camps, enduring persecution when he wrote about
his experiences. He is currently in frail health, but in an interview given
last month he said that Russia must come to terms with the Stalinist and
revolutionary genocides - and that its Jewish population should be as
offended at their own role in the purges as they are at the Soviet power
that also persecuted them.
"My book was directed to empathise with the thoughts, feelings and the
psychology of the Jews - their spiritual component," he said. "I have never
made general conclusions about a people. I will always differentiate
between layers of Jews. One layer rushed headfirst to the revolution.
Another, to the contrary, was trying to stand back. The Jewish subject for
a long time was considered prohibited. Zhabotinsky [a Jewish writer] once
said that the best service our Russian friends give to us is never to speak
aloud about us."
But Solzhenitsyn's book has caused controversy in Russia, where one Jewish
leader said it was "not of any merit".
"This is a mistake, but even geniuses make mistakes," said Yevgeny
Satanovsky, president of the Russian Jewish Congress. "Richard Wagner did
not like the Jews, but was a great composer. Dostoyevsky was a great
Russian writer, but had a very sceptical attitude towards the Jews.
"This is not a book about how the Jews and Russians lived together for 200

same territory. This book is a weak one professionally. Factually, it is so
bad as to be beyond criticism. As literature, it is not of any merit."
But DM Thomas, one of Solzhenitsyn's biographers, said that he did not
think the book was fuelled by anti-semitism. "I would not doubt his
sincerity. He says that he firmly supports the state of Israel. In his
fiction and factual writing there are Jewish characters that he writes
about who are bright, decent, anti-Stalinist people."
Professor Robert Service of Oxford University, an expert on 20th century
Russian history, said that from what he had read about the book,
Solzhenitsyn was "absolutely right".
Researching a book on Lenin, Prof Service came across details of how
Trotsky, who was of Jewish origin, asked the politburo in 1919 to ensure
that Jews were enrolled in the Red army. Trotsky said that Jews were
disproportionately represented in the Soviet civil bureaucracy, including
the cheka.
"Trotsky's idea was that the spread of anti-semitism was [partly down to]
objections about their entrance into the civil service. There is something
in this; that they were not just passive spectators of the revolution. They
were part-victims and part-perpetrators.
"It is not a question that anyone can write about without a huge amount of
bravery, and [it] needs doing in Russia because the Jews are quite often
written about by fanatics. Mr Solzhenitsyn's book seems much more measured
than that."
Yet others failed to see the need for Solzhenitsyn's pursuit of this
particular subject at present. Vassili Berezhkov, a retired KGB colonel and
historian of the secret services and the NKVD (the precursor of the KGB),
said: "The question of ethnicity did not have any importance either in the
revolution or the story of the NKVD. This was a social revolution and those

THE BEILIS CASE AND ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN
By Valery Kajaya
(EXCERPT)
The Nobel Laureate's mighty intellect failed to grasp what the semi-literate
peasant jurors had understood with their hearts
As he was writing his book about the history of the Jews in Russia the last 200
years, Solzhenitsyn could not fail to mention the Beilis case. Nor could he, who
had his own "particular opinion", just agree with, or rather accept, the verdict
passed by the Kiev jurors nearly a hundred years ago, in October of 1903. At the
same time, Solzhenitsyn realized perfectly well the risks of digging too deeply
into a matter that had been absolutely clear and indisputable to any sensible
person even at that time: one could easily earn global renown as an
anti-Semite....
Epilogue
However, no doubts arise when one reads the concluding page which
Solzhenitsyn starts significantly: "The Beilis case had an epilogue as well".
According to Solzhenitsyn, the epilogue was that soon after the revolution,
vengeance of the Jews overtook all prosecution witnesses. "The minister of
justice Shcheglovitov (one report indicates that he had issued instructions to
investigate the case as a ritual murder), writes Solzhenitsyn (and refers to the
Short Jewish Encyclopaedia, v.11, p.317), "was executed by the Bolsheviks".
The word "Bolsheviks" in Solzhenitsyn's lingo is a euphemism for Jews, similar
to Prokhanov's "democrats". Solzhenitsyn has but one name for the Bolshevik
party: "Lenin's Jewish Party"... <END>

Ukrainian-Jewish Relations: An Attempt at an Analysis
Apparently, the Jews have nothing to gain from starting a campaign
against the NKVD "war criminals" since it was the Jews who were in the majority
there... In the well known photograph in Solzhenitsyn's book (in the second
edition the photo was no longer there) there appear the NKVD leaders in Ukraine.
There were seven of them; five of them were Jews. The crime in Vinnitsa in the
1930's, where thousands of Ukrainians died, is also connected with the NKVD, in
which almost all posts were occupied by people of Jewish nationality.
One more fact attracts attention. The trials in America of "war
criminals" are conducted against representatives of various nationalities. But
a trial of a Ukrainian receives the greatest "resonance." An article is
published in The New York Times by Lucy Davidovich in which all the Ukrainians
are called "Nazis" and bandits. Other articles are published saying that
"Ukrainian guards murdered Jews on their own initiative..." At this point it is
no longer clear whether the Hitleriate state was German or Ukrainian... <<Tavish

Encyclopedia other Jews are named as co-founders of Russian
Communism, but not Lenin and Stalin. Both of these, however,
are said by some writers to be half-Jewish. Whatever the racial
antecedents of their top man, the first Soviet commissariats were
largely staffed with Jews. The Jewish position in the Communist
movement was well understood in Russia. "The White Armies which
opposed the Bolsehvik government linked Jews and Bolsheviks
as common enemies" (Univ. Jew Encyc., Vol. I, p. 336).

The whole point being the Lithuanians, Balts and Ukrainians couldn't
have been anti-Semitic toward the Soviets if they weren't in FACT
Jews!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prytulak Cheka-GPU-NKVD in Ukraine 25May98 Jewish conquest of the
Slavs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Shapoval volume, then, provides us with one such reason why some
Ukrainian anti-Semitism might exist. The reason is that Ukrainians have
been aware of the Jewish domination of the experiment in government
through mass murder which went under the name of "Communism," and in which
experiment Ukrainians more than any other peoples have been conscripted
into playing the role of guinea pigs.
Jewish Conquest of the Slavs
The Shapoval volume. The analyses that I present below are based on
information in the following book written in Ukrainian, with some of its
documentation presented in Russian:
Yuri Shapoval, Volodymyr Prystaiko, and Vadym Zolotariov, Cheka-GPU-NKVD
in Ukraine: People, Facts, Documents, Abris, Kyiv, 1997.
For the sake of brevity, I will refer to the above book as "the Shapoval
volume."
Sponsorship. It is possibly highly significant that this book was
sponsored by the following:
National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
M. S. Hrushevsky Institute
of Ukrainian Archaeography and Fontology
Security Service of Ukraine
----------------------------
Nationalities in the Cheka-GPU-NKVD. One may summarize my chief finding
with this succinct approximation:
Out of every 10 senior members
of the Cheka-GPU-NKVD in Ukraine:
6 were Jewish,
2 were Russian,
1 was Ukrainian, and
1 was other.
Latvians. Latvians led in the "other" category. More specifically:
NATIONALITY NUMBER INVOLVED PERCENTAGE
Jewish=92 + Father Jewish=1 93 58.1
Russian 34 21.3
Ukrainian 15 9.4
Latvian (M)=6 + (F)=1 7 4.4
Belarusian 3 1.9
Polish 2 1.3
Polish/German 1 .6
Armenian 1 .6
Georgian 1 .6
German 1 .6
Lithuanian 1 .6
Moldovan 1 .6
Total known nationality 160 100
Unknown nationality 23
Total 183
Almost no mixed parentage. Given that the authors noted the instance in
which only the father was Jewish, it would appear that there are no other
instances of known mixed parentage in this sample.
Almost no females. In Ukrainian, the word for "a Latvian person" comes in
masculine and feminine versions, and thus it was possible to note upon no
more than seeing their nationality stated that six of the Latvians were
male and one female. But as all the other nationality names also come in
two versions, then it would also have been possible to note the presence
of a female in them as well, which however I failed to do. Thus, in the
sample of 160 for which nationalities were specified, there appears to be
only a single female. The Cheka-GPU-NKVD in Ukraine, then, appears to
have been a male-dominated occupation.
Possible under-estimate of Jewish participation. The "Polish/German"
above refers to a single official who was inconsistent in identifying his
nationality on various documents, sometimes stating Polish and sometimes
German. Two possibilities come to mind: first, that neither of these is
his true nationality; second, that other officials may have misrepresented
their nationality more consistently and thus avoided detection. More
specifically, as Jews commonly assumed non-Jewish names and concealed
their Jewish identity, it is possible that the above statistics constitute
an under-estimate of Jewish presence in the Cheka-GPU-NKVD.
The Shapoval volume offers some evidence in confirmation of this
hypothesis. That is, in listing the names of the 183 Cheka-GPU-NKVD
officials, when the official used more than one name or changed his name,
Shapoval included the aliases in parentheses. The number of names
containing parentheses was 20. Of these, 14 were Jewish, 3 Latvian, 1
Russian, 1 German, and 1 unknown. Thus, it would appear that the changing
of names was overwhelmingly a Jewish phenomenon. Furthermore, my
impression is that the name changes tended to be in the direction of
making the names less Jewish and more Slavic, though as this conclusion
requires the exercise of judgment, and as in several cases I did not trust
my judgment, I do not here quantify the direction of the name changes.
Four examples of names that seemed to go from Jewish to Slavic were:
EARLIER JEWISH NAME LATER SLAVIC NAME
Holovanivskyi Bernard Volfovych Kozelskyi Borys Volodymyrovych
Podolsky Davyd Vulfovych Orlov Danylo Volodymyrovych
Izrail Moiseiovych Radzivilovskyi Oleksandr Pavlovych
Rosenbardt Abram Borysovych Rozanov Oleksandr Borysovych
Declining to guess nationality from name? Among the 23 for whom
nationality was not specified, I noticed a few cases in which nationality
might be inferred from the name alone. For example, although no
nationality was specified for Solomon Isaakovych Goldman, one might
venture to guess that he is more likely Jewish than Russian or Ukrainian.
I conclude that either the authors had independent evidence concerning
Goldman's nationality but failed to specify it as an oversight, or else
that they had insufficient biographical data to infer nationality, and
followed the general rule of declining to do so from name only. Of course
if the Shapoval authors declined to guess that Solomon Isaakovych Goldman
was Jewish, then I decline to do so as well, leaving him uncategorized
with respect to nationality.
[...]
A minor paradox resolved. It should go without saying that even if the
Communist Revolution was controlled mostly by Jews, it does not follow
that most Jews were either Communists or revolutionaries. Rather, many
writers go out of their way to comment that only a minority of Jews
supported Bolshevism, most were indifferent, and some opposed it. Thus,
although in the first of the pair of quotations below, we see Hilaire
Belloc unequivocally placing responsibility for the Russian Revolution at
the feet of the Jews, yet in the second of the pair of quotations we find
him unequivocally exonerating Jews in general from blame ? a seeming
paradox which a little thought demonstrates contains no contradiction:
It was the pure despotism of a clique, the leaders of which had been
specially launched upon Russia under German direction in order to break
down any chance of a revival of Russian military power, and all those
leaders, without exception, were Jews, or held by the Jews through their
domestic relations, and all that followed was done directly under the
orders of Jews, the most prominent of whom was one Braunstein, who
disguised himself under the assumed name of Trotsky. A terror was set up,
under which were massacred innumerable Russians of the governing classes,
so that the whole framework of the Russian State disappeared. Among
these, of course, must specially be noted great numbers of the clergy,
against whom the Jewish revolutionaries had a particular grudge. A clean
sweep was made of all the old social organization, and under the despotism
of this Jewish clique the old economic order was reversed.

(Hilaire Belloc, The Jews, 1937, p. 58)
For the Bolshevist movement, or rather explosion, was Jewish.
That truth may be so easily confused with a falsehood that I must, at the
outset, make it exact and clear.
The Bolshevist Movement was a Jewish movement, but not a movement of the
Jewish race as a whole. Most Jews were quite extraneous to it; very many
indeed, and those of the most typical, abhor it; many actively combat it.
The imputation of its evils to the Jews as a whole is a grave injustice
and proceeds from a confusion of thought whereof I, at any rate, am free.

(Hilaire Belloc, The Jews, 1937, p. 55)
Jews present obstacle to the rule of law in Ukraine. One of Ukraine's
most pressing needs today is to demonstrate the rule of law by punishing
the most egregious violations of the law ? namely torture, murder,
genocide. To the degree that the number of the guilty and the weakness of
the law make this unfeasible, Ukraine then needs more than anything else
to at least implement a Truth and Reconciliation Commission paralleling
the Truth and Reconciliation Commission so wisely instituted in South
Africa. However, there is one huge obstacle standing in the way either of
the punishment of the guilty or of inducing them to confess. That
obstacle is that a disproportionate number of the accused, or of those
revealed to have committed crimes, might turn out to be Jews, with the
result that Ukraine would be portrayed by a mindless world press as having
gone on an anti-Semitic rampage. Thus, one way that Jews continue to harm
Ukraine today is by standing in the way of Ukraine demonstrating the power
of its law to bring its torturers and its butchers to account, or the
power of its righteousness to command its torturers and its butchers to at
least confess....
.... The Shapoval volume provides us with one such reason why some
Ukrainian anti-Semitism might exist. The reason is that Ukrainians have
been aware of the Jewish domination of the experiment in government
through mass murder which went under the name of "Communism," and in which
experiment Ukrainians more than any other peoples have been conscripted
into playing the role of guinea pigs.
Terms of a truce. Were I authorized to represent the Ukrainian position
in negotiating with Jews a cessation of verbal hostilities, I might open
with "If you stop fabricating lies about us, we will stop disclosing the
truth about you."
