noble family and became <strong>the</strong> first chairman <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Russian Lawyers'<br />

Association in St. Petersburg. His daughter, Yelena, became an infamous<br />

Bolshevik murderess and Lenin's lover. There were 3567 Jewish nobles in<br />

Russia in 1904, yet <strong>the</strong>y have tried to distort history, asserting that <strong>the</strong><br />

Jews in Russia were without any rights and were <strong>the</strong> victims <strong>of</strong> constant<br />

pogroms. Only Ca<strong>the</strong>rine II, <strong>the</strong> Great, had actually tried to reduce <strong>the</strong><br />

secret influence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jews. Afterwards everything continued as usual. It<br />

became prohibited in <strong>the</strong> Soviet Union to show <strong>the</strong> famous painting where<br />

Ca<strong>the</strong>rine II treads on <strong>the</strong> serpent (symbolising Judaism).<br />

Before <strong>the</strong> October coup, 37 per cent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jewish population <strong>of</strong> 6.1<br />

million worked with trade and commerce. On average, <strong>the</strong> Jews had a<br />

better education than o<strong>the</strong>rs. It might be mentioned that half <strong>the</strong> students<br />

in <strong>the</strong> Ukraine were Jews. That was why <strong>the</strong> Jews held 87 per cent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

best positions whilst only making up 4.2 per cent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> population. Of<br />

course, <strong>the</strong>y had all <strong>of</strong>ficially joined <strong>the</strong> Russian Orthodox Church.<br />

Many Jews held very high posts, among <strong>the</strong>se was <strong>the</strong> Senator and<br />

Minister <strong>of</strong> Justice Vladimir Sabler (Desyatovsky, 1845-1929), Prime<br />

Minister and Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Interior Boris Sturmer (1848-1917), and <strong>the</strong><br />

Ministry <strong>of</strong> Justice's Chancellor Nikolai Neklyudov (1840-1896).<br />

Twelve Jewish members were elected to <strong>the</strong> Duma after <strong>the</strong> attempted<br />

coup in 1905. But <strong>the</strong> extremist Jews still dreamed <strong>of</strong> total control over <strong>the</strong><br />

Russian society. 50 000 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jews were workers (not even 1 per cent). It<br />

would be interesting to find out how many Jewish workers <strong>the</strong>re are in<br />

Russia today.<br />

Russia exhibited an impressive surplus <strong>of</strong> grain during Stolypin's<br />

tenure. After his reforms, Russia began producing more grain than <strong>the</strong><br />

United States <strong>of</strong> America, Canada and Argentina put toge<strong>the</strong>r. Finally,<br />

Russia produced 40 per cent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world's grain and was called <strong>the</strong><br />

world's granary.<br />

This was unpopular with <strong>the</strong> international financial elite. Stolypin,<br />

being a liberal, also worked to fur<strong>the</strong>r improve <strong>the</strong> position <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jews,<br />

according to Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Stolypin was a sensible man who<br />

knew that <strong>the</strong>re was only a small group <strong>of</strong> fanatics among <strong>the</strong> Jews in<br />

Russia, who unfortunately committed terrible crimes and acted in <strong>the</strong><br />

name <strong>of</strong> all Jews. Even according to Lenin's own (naturally reduced) data,<br />

<strong>the</strong>re were 33 000 socialist "revolutionaries" <strong>of</strong> Jewish stock in Russia in<br />

1906. (Lenin, "Works", 4th edition, Vol. 2, p. 168.) Stolypin wanted to<br />
