I understand that,  I wonder how many people believed it because 12% 
of the voters voted Communist and only 1% of the population were Jews 
(1933) .    Those 12% obviously did not buy into equating the 
Bolshevism and Jewishness and I'm sure that there were a lot more 
people who knew better.   Stalin was not overly friendly to Jews even 
if they were instrumental in revolutionary thought and action. He was 
busily "purging" the Jewish Bolsheviks in the 20s and 30s.
