```Although Jews were active among both the Social Democratic Bolshevik and the Menshevik factions, Jews were more prominent among the Mensheviks. Stalin took note of the ethnic proportions represented on each side, as seen from a 1907 report on the Congress published in the Bakinsky rabochy (Baku Workman), which quoted a coarse joke about "a small pogrom" (погромчик) Stalin attributed to then-Bolshevik Grigory Aleksinsky:
" Not less interesting is the composition of the congress from the standpoint of nationalities. Statistics showed that the majority of the Menshevik faction consists of Jews—and this of course without counting the Bundists—after which came Georgians and then Russians. On the other hand, the overwhelming majority of the Bolshevik faction consists of Russians, after which come Jews—not counting of course the Poles and Letts—and then Georgians, etc. For this reason one of the Bolsheviks observed in jest (it seems Comrade Aleksinsky) that the Mensheviks are a Jewish faction and the Bolsheviks a genuine Russian faction, so it would not be a bad idea for us Bolsheviks to arrange a small pogrom in the party.[2]"

@King Leopold II Welcome!
You have entered the den of autism

How Nationalist were the old school Socdems? I mean, reading up about them throughout the 20th century there seems to be a clear divide the old and the modern SocDem parties.
But then again, I’m speaking mostly about the Nordic SocDems, dunno about the rest of Europe.
"nationalist" is relative
In what way?
I highly doubt that old school Soc Dems cared about race @megakillerx
They may have accepted that nation states exist but civic nationalist at best
nation is an ethnic not a racial thing
Some people consider race to be an important part of ethnicity.
Yeah, you don’t have to be a race realist to be a nationalist.
I would even go as far to say that the harsher and more rought treatment you give to the Russians the more they love you: "During and after World War II freed POWs went to special "filtration camps". Of these, by 1944, more than 90% were cleared, and about 8% were arrested or condemned to serve in penal battalions. In 1944, they were sent directly to reserve military formations to be cleared by the NKVD. Further, in 1945, about 100 filtration camps were set for repatriated Ostarbeiter, POWs, and other displaced persons, which processed more than 4,000,000 people. By 1946, 80% civilians and 20% of POWs were freed, 5% of civilians, and 43% of POWs were re-drafted, 10% of civilians and 22% of POWs were sent to labor battalions, and 2% of civilians and 15% of the POWs (226,127 out of 1,539,475 total) were transferred to the NKVD, i.e. the Gulag.[5][6]"
Semantics, when people say ethnicity or race they're referring to the same thing: sub groups of humans
Shtrafbats are gay.
I have Russian friends so I know... the more you beat em up at first the better friends you will be with em later on.
That is how it is with em.
@Aki We have vets here in Georgia who want stalin back too

Well Stalin was Georgian himself.

**AUTISM.EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING**
but yeah frankly speaking I am not well aware of how did things play out in Georgia at that time.
I always had it at the back of my mind that it wasn't as rough in Georgia as in the other parts of the USSR.
at least from what I am seeing by skeeming threw the data it wasn't necessairly as I assumed.
Georgians were based.
Now they have a George Bush street in Tbilisi.
And yet you used past tense there
And I ask myself why
Guys help I'm illiterate and dont know what your saying
Very good video, will definately watch it.
