Putin: Soviet Government Was Mostly Jewish 80-85 %

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that at least 80-85 percent of the members of the first Soviet government were Jewish. Russian president says predominantly Jewish Soviet government was guided by false ideological considerations. “I thought about something just now: The decision to nationalize this library was made by the first Soviet government, whose composition was 80-85 percent Jewish,“ Putin said June 13 during a visit to Moscow's Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center. .
