Stalin's Willing Executioners: Jews as a Hostile Elite in the USSR
Jews as a Hostile Elite in the USSR
Book • 2005
This work by Kevin MacDonald examines the disproportionate Jewish involvement in the leadership of Soviet repressive organs like the Cheka, OGPU, and Gulag during the early Bolshevik period and Stalin's Great Terror.
Drawing heavily from Slezkine's 'The Jewish Century,' it argues that Jews formed a 'hostile elite' that contributed significantly to mass executions and repressions, transforming from oppressed minorities into key enforcers of Stalinist terror.
The essay discusses Jewish overrepresentation in these institutions until their purge in the late 1930s.
