Context. A 1918 Soviet decree prohibited 'anti-Semitic incitement', which is a different measure from a ban on references to the 'Jewish movement' accusation.[1]
Context. Encyclopedia entry says that during the Civil War Lenin refused to confiscate the pamphlet 'On the Jews', which cuts against a picture of Lenin suppressing discussion of Jewish matters, though it does not address the specific accusation.[2]
Context. Sources describe Soviet censorship of Lenin's Jewish ancestry, not a ban on the accusation that the revolution was Jewish, so they do not address the claimed act.[3][4]
