Stalins struggle against zionism. Fight against zionism have nothing in common with anti-semitism. Zionism is an enemy of all workers of the world, Zionism is an enemy also of Jewish workers, not less than of non-jewish Stalin. Published in Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper in 1953 In a 1 December 1952 Politburo session, Stalin announced: Every Jewish nationalist (zionist) is the agent of the American intelligence service. Jewish nationalists think that their nation was saved by the USA. . . They think they are indebted to the Americans. A notable campaign to quietly remove zionist Jews from positions of authority within the state security services was carried out in 1952–1953. The Russian historians Zhores and Roy Medvedev wrote that according to [MVD] General Sudoplatov, simultaneously all Jews were removed from the leadership of the security services, even those in very senior positions. In February the anti-zionist expulsions were extended to regional branches of the MGB. A secret directive was distributed to all regional directorates of the MGB on 22 February, ordering that all Jewish employees of the MGB be dismissed immediately, regardless of rank, age or service record. . . .. In the memoir Being Red, the American writer and prominent Communist Howard Fast recalls a meeting with Soviet writer and World Peace Congress delegate Alexander Fadeyev during this time. Fadeyev insisted that There is no anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union the Polish writer Aleksander Wat, claim that Stalin was not an antisemite by nature, but the pro-Americanism of Soviet Jews forced him to follow a deliberate policy of anti-zionism There were not so many Jews allied with Stalin on the partys right as there were allied with Trotsky on the left, but the importance of men like Kaganovich, Litvinov, and Yagoda makes it hard to believe that Stalin harbored a categorical hatred of all Jews, as a race, in the way that Hitler did.
