People's commissaries of Jewish extraction still dominated. In 1937, 17
out of 22 people's commissaries were Jewish, despite the fact that the
Communists did not want to expose the considerable Jewish element in
the Soviet government apparatus. Here I can name Isidor Lyubimov
(Kozelevsky), Moisei Kalmanovich, Arkadi Rosengoltz, Israel Veitzer,
Yankel Gamarnik and Maxim Litvinov (actually Wallakh-Finkelstein).
The Council of People's Commissaries consisted of 133 members, of
whom 115 were Jews. The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet in 1937 had
27 members, of whom 17 were Jews.
I shall use the People's Commissariat for Foreign Trade Affairs as an
example. The people's commissary was the Jew Arkadi Rosengoltz. His
deputies were also Jews: Moisei Frumkin and Israel Veitzer. All the
leading functionaries of the same People's Commissariat were Jews: B.
Belensky, S. Bron, S. Messing, B. Plavnik, M. Bronsky, S. Dvoilatsky, L.
Friedrichsohn, M. Gurevich, Y. Yanson, M. Kattel, F. Kilevets, A. Kisin,
B. Krayevsky, F. Rabinovich, N. Romm, Y. Sokolin, M. Sorokin, A.
Tamarin, S. Zhukovsky, Y. Flior, I. Katznelson. Only the errand boys were
non-Jews. The functionaries of the other People's Commissariats were
also mainly Jews.
The picture was the same throughout the leading posts of the Central
Committee. Even the post of general secretary was occupied by the Geor-
gian half-Jew, Joseph Stalin. The other most important functionaries were
the following Jews: Lazar Kaganovich, Yan Gamarnik (Chief of the Politi-
cal Board of the Red Army), I. Kabakov (actually Rosenfeld), Mikhail
Kaganovich, Vilhelm Knorin, Joseph Pyatnitsky (Aronsson), Mikhail
Rukhimovich, M. Khatayevich, Moisei Kalmanovich, D. Beika, Tsifri-
novich, F. Gradinsky, Grigori Kaminsky, Grigori Kanner, T. Deribas, S.
Schwartz, E. Veger, Leon Mekhlis, A. Steingart, Genrich Yagoda, Yona
Yakir, Moisei Einstein, Yan Yakovlev (Epstein), Grigori Sokolnikov
(Brilliant), Vyacheslav Polonsky (Gusin), G. Veinberg, Itzik Feffer,
Samuil Agurzky, Khaim Fomin and others.
These Jews played important parts in the Party apparatus: Eismont,
Tolmachov, Martemyan Ryutin. There is not enough space here to name
everyone and go through all the lists in this way. The picture is a clear
one. The occasional non-Jews were usually married to Jewesses, like
Vyacheslav Molotov (Skxyabin) who was married to Polina Zhemchuzhina
(Perl Karpovskaya). She was the sister of Samuel Karp, the owner of Karp
