I wonder whats Stalin’s take on how to deal with people with “conservative values”
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.
quotes without citations are great, am I right folks
I tried looking for it. The first quote is getting a book by R. J. Overy called “The Dictators: Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Russia”. The quote itself is not cited in the book but following it is a claim about thousands of jewish folks being arrested which is cited from a work called “The USSR, Zionism and Jews” (paraohrasing the name since I don’t remember it exactly nor the author’s) but I couldn’t find it.
Edit: unsurprisingly the comment author cribbed the quote straight from a Wikipedia article about Soviet anti-Semitism.
There’s nothing wrong with a Wikipedia article, but ‘Night of the Murdered Poets’(which I assume OP sourced from?) stating that Solomon Mikhoels died personally under Stalin’s orders w/o any other citations raises an alarm.
there’s a lot wrong with most political Wikifedia articles, especially when it’s related to communism
