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. 606 $aJews$xIdentity$vCase studies 606 $aJews$zSoviet Union$xSocial conditions 606 $aJewish communists$zSoviet Union$xHistory 607 $aSoviet Union$xPolitics and government 615 0$aJews$xIdentity 615 0$aJews$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aJewish communists$xHistory. 676 $a947.084/1092 700 $aPetrovskii-Shtern$b Iokhanan$01692919 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820768303321 996 $aLenin's Jewish question$94184939 997 $aUNINA
