> but from the last years of stalin on there was the policy of fighting the anti-soviet ideas of jews like in-group thinking a huge part of this was because many communist jews were really crypto-zionists. remember pre-israel zionism wasn't specifically seeking to establish a jewish ethnostate in palestine, this was a minority stance at the time. the majority of pre-israel zionists thought it would be more realistic to create a jewish ethnostate somewhere in europe. since all the land in europe was already claimed by existing states, some of these existing states would need to lose in order for zionism to win. many jews pushed communist revolutions not because they were actually communists, but as a cynical way to destabilize existing states and create the vacuum necessary for the birth of a jewish state. the tribal nepotism of these crypto-zionists put them at odds with the values the early ussr was trying to cultivate, and there were a lot of tensions, but remember that the majority of "true believers" in high positions within the early ussr were also jews, and thus it was more like a jewish civil war rather than "antisemitism" from an external group. stalin was one of the few non-jewish old bolsheviks, so the combination of him gaining power and the formation of israel (which wanted to attract settlers from the ussr) made it convenient to recast what was up to this point a jewish internal struggle into "antisemitism" in order to motivate the crypto-zionists to abandon the ussr for israel.
