Let History Judge

On pp. 786-788 and pp. 802-807 (entitled "Official Anti-Semitism"), summarizes Stalin's postwar antisemitic policy as part of his increasing chauvinism and his cult of the Russian nation. Mentions the annihilation of well-known Jewish intellectuals and writers who belonged to the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, the discriminatory measures against Jewish members of the party apparatus and the officers' corps, and the imposition of a restrictive Jewish quota for cultural and academic institutions. Notes that in his last years Stalin initiated antisemitic and anti-Zionist campaigns and repressions, such as the struggle against "cosmopolitanism" and the Doctors' Plot, and prepared a mass deportation of Soviet Jews to remote areas.
