Russification was sometimes the forced cultural assimilation of non-russian societies. This happened well before the October Revolution in imperial Russia as well as during the reign of Stalin in the Soviet Union. The Russian language replaced Yiddish and other languages as the main language of many Jewish communities too. However, reading '200 Years Together' most bolsheviks were not Zionists per say, many considered themselves atheistical Jews, who didn't adhere to Israel as their nationstate. You could consider them Internationalsit Jews. Stalin's geneology and even Hitlers, of which I researched is interesting because there's a possibility both more Jewish. 1/4 to 1/2 Stalin and Hitler possibly completely Jewish. Miles Mathis has a great research article on it and he'd send you the information by email of the geneologies. I find it interesting that Stalin hated Zionists. Of course he purged many of the bolsheviks later on. It should be noted that Hitler worked with some of the top Zionist officals at the World Zionist Organization, those Zionists, also made it clear that the National Socialist ideology is no different than the Zionsit ideology, in that internarige of other races is frowned upon, and each wants his own ethnostate. Many of those who surrounded Hitler were also Jewish.

That being said most of the Bolsheviks were ruthless thugs. The Red Terror and the Bolshevik political repression was comparable if not worse than the White Terror by the White Army (Russian and non-Russian groups opposed to Bolshevik rule, many of them Russia Christians). The Cheka (the Bolshevik secret police) carried out the repressions of the Red Terror. They would go into middle class neighborhoods killing thousands of people in their homes; Christians, Catholics, and anyone who didn't adhere to their revolution. The total number of victims of repression and pacification campaigns could be 1.3 million, whereas another gives estimates of 28,000 executions per year from December 1917 to February 1922. The most reliable estimations for the total number of killings put the number at over 100,000, whereas others suggest a figure of 200,000 and over.

Duting Bolshevik Russia there were many massacres. However, when individuals tell me the Bolsheviks were not Atheistic Jews, which the majority of them were, I show them this from the noble peace prize winners book, '200 Years Together.'

The Soviet Press provided a list of 556 important functionaries of the Soviet State (1918 - 1919)

There is some dispute as to Lenin's racial origins. It is known that he was married to a Jewess; spoke Yiddish as did his children.

"Lenin had taken part in Jewish student meetings in Switzerland thirty-five years before. He is generally regarded as a Russian but there is doubt." -- (Jewish Chronicle, December, 16th, 1932).

"Although Lenin was a political monster, he was no enemy of the Jews. He was aware of his partly Jewish origin, many of his close associates were Jews, he often spoke of Jews in favourable terms and he opposed anti-Jewish attitudes." (The London Times, Dec. 8, 1996, Section 7, page 2)

Stalin might be a Jew based on geneologies, but he's niether a Russian but a Caucasian. His Deputy however, is his father-in-law who is Jewish, Lazarus Mosessohn Kaganowitsch, who by Government decree enjoys full rights and privileges and is to all intents and purposes the Supreme Ruler. Kaganowitsch ensured that criteria for key positions in the Police Force, the Red Army, the Department of the Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and in the Foreign Office, is to be of Jewish race.
