For people who suffer severe discrimination due to Race/Ethnicity, their Race/Ethnicity becomes an important part of their Identity. I can not speak for anyone else. In Russia, being Jewish was an important part of our Identity. I left USSR with my family of origin when I was 13.


I have not experienced significant anti-Semitism, but some Jews have. Anti-Semitism in USSR was much less severe then Racism in contemporary USA. To a great degree, myself and many other Jews identified as outsiders of Socialist Society. Many Jewish people switched alliance to USA in Cold War.


In USA, being Jewish is not as much part of our identity. We follow many Laws of Old Testament. That is the main aspect of Jewish Identity in USA and Israel.

I think after that whole 'Bolshevik thing'....non Jews in the former USSR kinda had a bit of a beef with Jews.

Not that all Jews were Bolsheviks...but most Bolshevik leaders were Jews.

Especially when you consider the Ukraine and the Holodomor.



Kinda works that way sometimes.

There is no independent origination.

It all depends upon whether or not you live in NYC where Jews own the place.

1) Leon Trotsky stood for Freedom, Equality, and Positive Rights.

2) Communism became Totalitarian after Jews were mostly expelled from the top of Communist Party.
