Context. The archive.org compilation reports that Jews were a substantial share of Bolshevik leadership bodies, including 23 of 101 VtsIK members and at least 31 percent of Jewish Bolsheviks at the June 1917 Congress of Soviets. These are different bodies and dates from the claimed 375-person Moscow group.[3]
Context. The Encyclopedia of the Post-war Societies notes that Jews and other non-Russians rose into Bolshevik elite positions and that this was read by anti-communists as a conspiracy theme. It gives no count matching the claim.[4]
