Jews and Jewish Life in Russia and the Soviet Union

"To 'outsmart' the Jews became one of Stalin's ruling passions....a number of essays in 'Jews and Jewish Life in Russia and the Soviet Union', edited by Professor Yacov Ro'i of Tel Aviv University, offer ample evidence that whatever the magnitude of support 'from below', the country's anti-Semitic policies were indeed largely the product of one man's 'evil intent', and showed his uncanny ability to hitch his malignant passions to the ambitions of his domestic votaries and to the faith of the true believers abroad.Ro'i, Yaacov is the author of 'Jews and Jewish Life in Russia and the Soviet Union' with ISBN 9780714641492 and ISBN 0714641499.
