"Douglas Reed writes: “The Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party which wielded the supreme power contained 3 Russians including Lenin and 9 Jews. The next body in importance the Central Committee of the Executive Commission or secret police comprised 42 Jews and 19 Russians, Letts, Georgians and others.
The Council of People’s Commissars consisted of 17 Jews and five others, the Moscow Che-ka Secret Police was formed of 23 Jews and 13 others, among the names of 556 high officials of the Bolshevik state officially published in 1918-1919 were 458 Jews and 108 others. Among the central committees of small, supposedly ‘Socialist’ or other non-Communist parties… were 55 Jews and 6 others.”
Richard Pipes admits: “Jews undeniably played in the Bolshevik Party and the early Soviet apparatus a role disproportionate to their share of the population. The number of Jews active in Communism in Russia and abroad was striking: in Hungary, for example they furnished 95 percent of the leading figures in Bela Kun’s dictatorship.
They also were disproportionately represented among Communists in Germany and Austria during the revolutionary upheavals there in 1918-23, and in the apparatus of the Communist International.”
According to Donald Rayfield, in 1922 the Jews “reached their maximum representation in the party not that they formed a coherent group when at 15 per cent, they were second only to ethnic Russians with 65 per cent.”
The London Times correspondent in Russia, Robert Wilton reported: ”Taken according to numbers of population, the Jews represented one in ten; among the commissars that rule Bolshevik Russia they are nine in ten; if anything the proportion of Jews is still greater.”
On June 9, 1919 Captain Montgomery Shuyler of the American Expeditionary Forces telegrammed from Vladivostok on the makeup of the presiding Soviet government: “… (T)here were 384 ‘commissars’ including 2 negroes, 13 Russians, 15 Chinamen, 22 Armenians and more than 300 Jews, of the latter 264 had come to Russia from the United States since the downfall of the Imperial Government.”
The Jews were especially dominant in the most feared and blood thirsty part of the Bolshevik State apparatus.
The Cheka which writes Brendon, “consisted of 250,000 officers including 100,000 border guards, a remarkable adjunct to a State which was supposed to be withering away.
In the first 6 years of Bolshevik rule it had executed at least 200,000, moreover the Cheka was empowered to act as ‘policeman, gaoler, investigator, prosecutor, judge and executioner’. It also employed barbaric forms of torture.”
