He examines why and how Lenin's Jewish relatives converted to Christianity, explains how Lenin's vision of Russian Marxism shaped his identity, and explores Lenin's treatment of party colleagues of Jewish origin and the Jewish Question in Europe. Petrovsky-Shtern also uncovers the continuous efforts of the Soviet communists to suppress Lenin's Jewishness and the no less persistent attempts of Russian extremists to portray Lenin as a Jew. In this fascinating book, Petrovsky-Shtern expands our understanding not only of Lenin, but also of Russian and Soviet handling of the Jewish Question.JewsIdentityCase studiesJewsSoviet UnionSocial conditionsJewish communistsSoviet UnionHistorySoviet UnionPolitics and governmentJewsIdentityJewsSocial conditions.Jewish communistsHistory.947.084/1092Petrovskii-Shtern Iokhanan1692919MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820768303321Lenin's Jewish question4184939UNINA
