What was the national composition of the first Bolshevik government? People's Commissars of October. What happened to the members of the first Bolshevik government

Dear sirs and comrades! In order to avoid repeating historically false myths about Jewish Bolsheviks, I ask you not to confuse the government and party activists. And don’t make gross historical mistakes.

Of the 15 people who were part of the First Soviet Government, there were 6 Russians (Avilov-Glebov, Lenin, Milyutin, Nogin, Oppokov-Lomov, Rykov, Skvortsov-Stepanov, Shlyapnikov), 4 Ukrainians (Dybenko, Lunacharsky, Krylenko, Ovseenko), 1 a Pole (Teodorovich), 1 Georgian and 1 Jew (Trotsky). During the entire existence of the Council of People's Commissars during Lenin's lifetime, only 5 out of 58 people's commissars were Jews, two of them (I. Steinberg and I. Gukovsky) were not even Bolsheviks. Only once and for a very short time (1917-19) the chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the highest legislative body of power in Soviet Russia (the equivalent of parliament), was a Jew (Ya. Sverdlov). THESE ARE THE FACTS AND THEY ARE IMMEDIATE.

There were many more Jews in the leadership of the Bolshevik Party. Thus, at the 6th Congress (July 6 - August 3, 1917 in Petrograd), five Jews were elected to the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party from 21 people: G. Zinoviev, L. Trotsky, J. Sverdlov, M. Uritsky and G. Sokolnikov. L. Kamenev was a Jew only through his father, who was also baptized into Orthodoxy. In 1919, out of 19 members of the Central Committee, there were “three and a half” Jews: Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev and K. Radek. Five of the seven above-mentioned persons were destroyed by Stalin. Uritsky, having spent 5 months as chairman of the Petrograd Cheka, was killed in 1918 by a friend of the poet S. Yesenin, the Russian poet Leonid Kannegiesser, who stated immediately after his arrest that he did this to atone for the guilt of his nation for what the Jewish Bolsheviks had done: “I Jew. I killed a Jewish vampire who drank the blood of the Russian people drop by drop. I tried to show the Russian people that for us Uritsky is not a Jew. He is a renegade. I killed him in the hope of restoring the good name of Russian Jews."

The government of S. Petliura included Jewish parties, the government of the Directory solemnly proclaimed the policy of national autonomy and granting Jews all national-political rights, and also created the Ministry of Jewish Affairs, which was headed by the leader of the Jewish People's Party Yakov Zeev Wolf Latsky-Bertoldi, and after him - the leader of the United Jewish Socialist Workers' Party, Moses Zilberfarb, and in which the representative of the Poalei Zion party, Abram Revutsky, and others worked.

Nestor Makhno severely punished anti-Semitism in the ranks of his army. This is a historical fact. The staff of N. Makhno included the famous anarchist Judas Solomonovich Grossman, his counterintelligence was headed by the Jew Lev Zadov (Zinkovsky), the prominent anarchist Vsevolod Volin (Eikhenbaum) collaborated with him, another prominent Jewish anarchist Aron Davidovich Baron was a member of the Council of Revolutionary Insurgents under the Makhnovist army .

Both Petlyura and Makhno can hardly be considered responsible for the pogroms, since both of them did not have sufficient power over the undisciplined parts of the armies nominally subordinate to them. Later, such leaders of the Jewish movement as V. Zhabotinsky, A. Margolin, S. Goldelman, I. Dobkovsky spoke in defense of the late Petliura from accusations of pogroms.

At the same time, a considerable number of Jews who found themselves among the Bolshevik leadership, all together constituted an insignificant minority of the many millions of Russian Jewry. The majority of Jewish revolutionaries, religious and non-religious, were concentrated in the parties of the Cadets, Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries. All Bolshevik Jews were active opponents of Judaism. “The majority of Russian Jewry was as far from the communists as the majority of all other peoples of Russia. In the provinces where a significant part of the population were Jews, they voted in November 1917 either for the democratic socialists (Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks) or for the Zionists. Intelligent Jewry preferred the cadets" [cit. from “History of Russia. XX century: 1894-1938", M.: Astrel, 2009, p. 646]. .

The first government after the victory of the October Revolution was formed in accordance with the “Decree on the establishment of the Council of People's Commissars”, adopted by the II All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies on October 27 (old style) 1917.

Initially, the Bolsheviks hoped to agree on the participation of representatives of other socialist parties, in particular the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, in it, but they failed to achieve such an agreement. As a result, the first revolutionary government turned out to be purely Bolshevik.

The authorship of the term “people’s commissar” was attributed to several revolutionary figures, in particular Leon Trotsky. The Bolsheviks wanted in this way to emphasize the fundamental difference between their power and the tsarist and Provisional governments.

The term “Council of People's Commissars” as a definition of the Soviet government will exist until 1946, until it is replaced by the now more familiar “Council of Ministers”.

The first composition of the Council of People's Commissars will last only a few days. A number of its members will resign from their posts due to political contradictions, mainly related to the same issue of participation in the government of members of other socialist parties.

The first composition of the Council of People's Commissars included:

• Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin);
• People's Commissar for Internal Affairs;
• People's Commissar of Agriculture;
• People's Commissar of Labor;
• People's Commissariat for Military and Naval Affairs - committee consisting of: Vladimir Ovseenko (Antonov), Nikolai Krylenko and Pavel Dybenko;
• People's Commissar for Trade and Industry;
• People's Commissar of Public Education;
• People's Commissar of Finance;
• People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs;
• People's Commissar of Justice;
• People's Commissar for Food Affairs;
• People's Commissar of Posts and Telegraphs;
• People's Commissar for National Affairs Joseph Dzhugashvili (Stalin);
• The post of People's Commissar for Railway Affairs remained temporarily unfilled.

The biographies of the head of the first Soviet government, Vladimir Lenin, and the first People's Commissar for Nationalities are known to the general public quite well, so let's talk about the rest of the People's Commissars.

The first People's Commissar of Internal Affairs spent only nine days in his post, but managed to sign a historical document on the creation of the police. After leaving the post of People's Commissar, Rykov went to work for the Moscow Soviet.

Subsequently, Alexey Rykov held high government positions, and from February 1924 he officially headed the Soviet government - the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR.

Rykov's career began to decline in 1930, when he was removed from his post as head of government. Rykov, who has long supported Nikolai Bukharin, was declared a “right-wing draft dodger,” and was never able to get rid of this stigma, despite numerous speeches of repentance.

At the party plenum in February 1937, he was expelled from the CPSU (b) and arrested on February 27, 1937. During interrogations he pleaded guilty. As one of the main accused, he was brought to the open trial in the case of the Right-Trotskyist Anti-Soviet Bloc. On March 13, 1938, he was sentenced to death and executed on March 15. Rykov was completely rehabilitated by the Main Military Prosecutor's Office of the USSR in 1988.

Nine days after the creation of the first Soviet government, Milyutin spoke out for the creation of a coalition government and, in protest against the decision of the Central Committee, submitted a statement of resignation from the Central Committee and the Council of People's Commissars, after which he admitted the fallacy of his statements and withdrew his statement of resignation from the Central Committee.

Subsequently, he held high positions in the government, from 1928 to 1934 he was Deputy Chairman of the USSR State Planning Committee.

On July 26, 1937 he was arrested. On October 29, 1937, he was sentenced to death for belonging to a counter-revolutionary organization of the “right.” On October 30, 1937 he was shot. Rehabilitated in 1956.

Shlyapnikov also advocated the inclusion of members of other political parties in the government, however, unlike his colleagues, he did not leave his post, continuing to work in the government. Three weeks later, in addition to the duties of People's Commissar of Labor, he was also assigned the duties of People's Commissar of Trade and Industry.

In the Bolshevik Party, Shlyapnikov was the leader of the so-called “workers’ opposition,” which manifested itself especially clearly in the party discussion about the role of trade unions. He believed that the task of the trade unions was to organize the management of the national economy, and they should take this function from the party.

Shlyapnikov's position was sharply criticized by Lenin, which affected the further fate of one of the first Soviet people's commissars.

Subsequently, he held secondary positions, for example, he worked as chairman of the board of the Metalloimport joint-stock company.

Shlyapnikov’s memoirs “The Seventeenth Year” aroused sharp criticism in the party. In 1933, he was expelled from the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), in 1934 he was administratively exiled to Karelia, and in 1935 he was sentenced to 5 years for belonging to the “workers’ opposition” - a punishment replaced by exile to Astrakhan.

In 1936, Shlyapnikov was arrested again. He was accused of the fact that, as the leader of the counter-revolutionary organization "Workers' Opposition", in the fall of 1927 he gave a directive to the Kharkov center of this organization on the transition to individual terror as a method of struggle against the CPSU (b) and the Soviet government, and in 1935-1936 he gave directives on the preparation of a terrorist act against Stalin. Shlyapnikov did not admit guilt, but according to the verdict of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR, he was shot on September 2, 1937. On January 31, 1963, the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR rehabilitated Alexander Shlyapnikov for the absence of corpus delicti in his actions.

The fate of the members of the triumvirate who headed the defense department was quite similar - they all occupied high government positions for many years, and they all became victims of the “Great Terror.”

Vladimir Antonov-Ovseenko, who arrested the Provisional Government during the armed uprising in Petrograd, was one of the founders of the Red Army, spent many years in diplomatic work, during the Civil War in Spain he was the Consul General of the USSR in Barcelona, ​​providing great assistance to the Republican troops as a military adviser .

Upon returning from Spain, he was arrested and sentenced to death on February 8, 1938 “for belonging to a Trotskyist terrorist and espionage organization.” Shot on February 10, 1938. Rehabilitated posthumously on February 25, 1956.

Nikolai Krylenko was one of the creators of Soviet law, held the posts of People's Commissar of Justice of the RSFSR and the USSR, prosecutor of the RSFSR and chairman of the Supreme Court of the USSR.

Krylenko is considered one of the “architects of the Great Terror” of 1937-1938. Ironically, Krylenko himself became its victim.

In 1938, at the first session of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Krylenko was criticized. Soon after this, he was removed from all posts, expelled from the CPSU(b) and arrested. According to the verdict of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR, he was executed on July 29, 1938. In 1956 he was rehabilitated for lack of evidence of a crime.

Pavel Dybenko made a military career, held the rank of army commander of the 2nd rank, and commanded troops in various military districts. In 1937, he took an active part in repressions in the army. Dybenko was part of the Special Judicial Presence that convicted a group of senior Soviet military commanders in the “Tukhachevsky Case” in June 1937.

In February 1938, Dybenko himself was arrested. He pleaded guilty to participating in an anti-Soviet Trotskyist military-fascist conspiracy. On July 29, 1938, he was sentenced to death and executed on the same day. Rehabilitated in 1956.

Advocating for the creation of a “homogeneous socialist government,” Nogin was among those who left the Council of People’s Commissars a few days later. However, after three weeks, Nogin “admitted his mistakes” and continued to work in leadership positions, but at a lower level. He held the posts of Labor Commissioner of the Moscow Region, and then Deputy People's Commissar of Labor of the RSFSR.

He died on May 2, 1924, and was buried on Red Square. The name of one of the first Soviet People's Commissars is immortalized to this day in the name of the city of Noginsk near Moscow.

The People's Commissar of Education was one of the most stable figures in the Soviet government, holding his post continuously for 12 years.

Thanks to Lunacharsky, many historical monuments were preserved and the activities of cultural institutions were established. There were, however, very controversial decisions - in particular, already at the end of his career as People's Commissar, Lunacharsky was preparing to translate the Russian language into the Latin alphabet.

In 1929, he was removed from the post of People's Commissar of Education and appointed chairman of the Academic Committee of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR.

In 1933, Lunacharsky was sent as USSR plenipotentiary envoy to Spain. He was deputy head of the Soviet delegation during the disarmament conference at the League of Nations. Lunacharsky died in December 1933 on his way to Spain in the French resort of Menton. The urn with the ashes of Anatoly Lunacharsky is buried in the Kremlin wall.

At the time of his appointment as People's Commissar, Skvortsov served as a member of the Moscow Military Revolutionary Committee. Upon learning of his appointment, Skvortsov announced that he was a theorist, not a practitioner, and refused the position. Later he was engaged in journalism, since 1925 he was the executive editor of the newspaper “Izvestia of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR and the All-Russian Central Executive Committee”, since 1927 - deputy. executive secretary of the newspaper "Pravda", at the same time since 1926, director of the Lenin Institute under the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks.

In the party press, Skvortsov spoke as an active supporter of Stalin, but did not reach the highest government posts - on October 8, 1928, he died of a serious illness. The ashes are buried in the Kremlin wall.

One of the main leaders of the Bolsheviks, the second person in the party after Lenin, completely lost in the internal party struggle in the 1920s, and in 1929 was forced to leave the USSR as a political emigrant.

Trotsky continued his correspondence confrontation with Stalin's course until 1940, until it was interrupted in August 1940 by an ice pick blow from an NKVD agent. Ramon Mercader.

For Georgy Oppokov, serving as People's Commissar for several days became the pinnacle of his political career. Subsequently, he continued his activities in secondary positions, such as chairman of the Oil Syndicate, chairman of the board of Donugol, deputy chairman of the State Planning Committee of the USSR, member of the bureau of the Commission of Soviet Control under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR.

In June 1937, as part of the “Great Terror”, Oppokov was arrested and, according to the verdict of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR, was executed on December 30, 1938. Posthumously rehabilitated in 1956.

Like other supporters of creating a government from among members of various socialist parties, Teodorovic announced his resignation from the government, but fulfilled his duties until December 1917.

Later he was a member of the board of the People's Commissar of Agriculture, and since 1922, deputy people's commissar of agriculture. In 1928-1930, General Secretary of the Peasants' International.

Arrested on June 11, 1937. Sentenced by the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR on September 20, 1937 on charges of participation in an anti-Soviet terrorist organization to death and executed on the same day. Rehabilitated in 1956.

Avilov held his post until the decision to create a coalition government with the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, after which he changed the post of People's Commissar to the post of assistant director of the State Bank. Later he held various positions of the second rank, and was the People's Commissar of Labor of Ukraine. From 1923 to 1926, Avilov was the leader of the Leningrad trade unions and became one of the leaders of the so-called “Leningrad opposition,” which ten years later became fatal for him.

Since 1928, Avilov headed Selmashstroy, and since 1929 he became the first director of the Rostov agricultural machinery plant Rostselmash.

On September 19, 1936, Nikolai Avilov was arrested on charges of terrorist activities. On March 12, 1937, the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR sentenced him to death on charges of participation in a counter-revolutionary terrorist organization. The sentence was carried out on March 13, 1937. Rehabilitated in 1956.

A well-known falsehood of anti-Semites is that they present false lists in which they claim that the first government of Soviet Russia consisted of only Jews! But this is complete nonsense, excuse the colloquial expression!
The article by war veteran Joseph Thälmann makes it clear. where do “legs grow” from, where did this nonsense about the “Jewish government” come from:

For several generations of anti-Semites, the most important source of “knowledge” was H. Ford’s book “International Jewry,” which was published in 1920. In his "work" Ford wrote that he once sailed on a ship where there were two prominent Jews, and they told him about the power in the hands of the Jewish race, and how they rule the world. Having thus understood the cause of wars and revolutions, the “car king” decided to bring it to the attention of his fellow citizens. He even developed a "new course in history." According to Ford, Jews in the United States provoked a war between the North and the South, organized the assassination of President Lincoln, etc. Karpov borrowed Ford’s fictions related to the history of Russia from him. Just one example. Ford wrote that the first Soviet government consisted entirely of Jews. This same “canard” was picked up by Vladimir Vasilyevich. Although he should know that in the government formed by Lenin in 1917, there was only one Jew, albeit a very influential one - Leon Trotsky.
By the way, in 1927, Ford, brought to trial, renounced his anti-Semitic fabrications and asked for forgiveness from the Jewish people. (With)

Here is actually that fragment from Ford’s book used by modern Black Hundreds http://rus-sky.com/history/library/ford.htm#XIX.
There Ford gives the following figure:
Council of People's Commissars: 22 members in total, of which 17 are Jews, accounting for 77%.
And detailed lists are available in large quantities on the Internet. Google them if you want to be convinced of the existence of this insanity.

But what was the composition of the first government of Soviet Russia in 1917.

The first composition of the Council of People's Commissars of Soviet Russia

People's Commissar for Internal Affairs - A. I. Rykov - Russian (Great Russian)
People's Commissar of Agriculture - V.P. Milyutin - Russian (Great Russian)
People's Commissar of Labor - A. G. Shlyapnikov - Russian (Great Russian, from the Old Believers)
The People's Commissariat for Military and Naval Affairs is a committee consisting of: V. A. Ovseenko (Antonov) (in the text of the Decree on the formation of the Council of People's Commissars - Avseenko), N. V. Krylenko and P. E. Dybenko - Russians (Little Russians)
People's Commissar for Trade and Industry - V. P. Nogin - Russian (Great Russian)
People's Commissar of Public Education - A. V. Lunacharsky - Russian (Great Russian)
People's Commissar of Finance - I. I. Skvortsov (Stepanov) - Russian (Great Russian)
People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs - L. D. Bronstein (Trotsky) - Jew (the only one!)
People's Commissar of Justice - G.I. Oppokov (Lomov) - Russian (Great Russian)
People's Commissar for Food Affairs - I. A. Teodorovich - Pole
People's Commissar of Posts and Telegraphs - N. P. Avilov (Glebov) - Russian (Great Russian)
People's Commissar for Nationalities - I.V. Dzhugashvili (Stalin) - Georgian (according to other sources - Ossetian)
People's Commissar for Railway Affairs - V. I. Nevsky (Krivobokov) - Russian (Great Russian)

No comments required.

I will only note about Lenin.
As is known, and this is a deeply proven fact, Lenin’s maternal grandfather was “from the Jews,” as it was written then. So, Alexander Dmitrievich Blank. This is Lenin's maternal grandfather. According to some reports, he is German. But it has been officially established that Alexander Dmitrievich is a cross. Before baptism, he bore the name Israel Moishevich Blank; according to Vladimir Lenin’s sister Anna Ulyanova, his name was Srul Moishevich Blank, despite the fact that he was the son of the Jew Moses Blank from Zhitomir who had already converted to Orthodoxy.
http://beta.novoteka.ru/?s=politics#nnn15105288
Another version from Olga Dmitrievna Ulyanova: A.D. Blank came from an Orthodox merchant family and was one of those people who “the conditions of the 19th century gave the opportunity to quickly move up the career ladder and leave their children the right to be considered nobles.” Also, according to M. Bychkova, A.D. Blank was a Russian from a Moscow merchant family.
Having ceased to be a Jew (a Jew in those days was defined by his faith - Judaism, and not by his nose, as among modern Black Hundreds and other fascists), Blank officially became Russian. He married a girl of German-Swedish origin, officially (on her father's side) a German Anna Grosshopf. Their daughter, Anna Blank, was Russian, baptized and a hereditary noblewoman. So Lenin was Russian. But we shouldn’t forget about its other roots. All of them, to some extent, influenced his personality. This is the Tatar eye shape from his father, and the German practicality and mentality from his mother. Thus, other peoples have always enriched the Russian people, bringing something of their own into it and making it even greater. This is our greatness - we are able to unite many nations and nationalities around us. I would like to maintain this quality.
And various anti-Semites and other xenophobes actually bring discord into this and thereby make things worse for the Russian people, first of all.

Since Ford dates the figures of his mythical “Jewish Council of People’s Commissars” to 1920, let’s see what its true composition was this year

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars - Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) - Russian (Great Russian)
1 - People's Commissar for Internal Affairs - F.E. Dzerzhinsky - Pole
2 - People's Commissar of Agriculture - S.P. Sereda - Russian (Little Russian)
3 - People's Commissar of Labor and Social Security (December 1919 - April 1920) - V.V. Schmidt - German, he has also been People's Commissar of Labor since April 1920; People's Commissar of Social Security since April 1920 - A.N. Vinokurov - Russian (Great Russian)
4 - People's Commissariat for Military and Naval Affairs - L. D. Bronstein (Trotsky) - Jew
5 - People's Commissar for Trade and Industry (until June 1920, from June 1920 - People's Commissar for Foreign Trade) - L.B. Krasin - Russian (Great Russian)
6 - People's Commissar of Public Education - A. V. Lunacharsky - Russian (Great Russian)
7 - People's Commissar of Finance - N.N. Krestinsky - Russian (Little Russian; Molotov considered him to come from baptized Jews)
8 - People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs - G.V. Chicherin - Russian (Great Russian)
9 - People's Commissar of Justice - D.I. Kursky - Russian (Great Russian)
10 - People's Commissar for Food Affairs - A.D. Tsyurupa - Russian (Little Russian)
11 - People's Commissar of Posts and Telegraphs - V.N. Podbelsky (until February 1920) - Russian (Great Russian)
A.M. Lyubovich (from March 1920) - Jew
12 - People's Commissar for Nationalities - I.V. Dzhugashvili (Stalin) - Georgian (according to other sources - Ossetian)
13 - People's Commissar of Railways - until March 20, 1920 L.B. Krasin - Russian (Great Russian), from March 20 L.D. Bronstein (Trotsky) - Jew, from December 10, 1920 A.I. Emshanov - Russian (Great Russian)
14 - People's Commissar of State Control (from February 1920 - Rabkrin) - I.V. Dzhugashvili (Stalin) - Georgian (according to other sources - Ossetian)
15 - People's Commissar of Health - N.A. Semashko - Russian (Great Russian)

As you can see, only 2 Jews (and one more was suspected of belonging).

Article by Yuri Nersesov - http://svpressa.ru/society/article/69677/

Last time Vladimir Putin entertains his beloved subjects not only with brutal aphorisms like “we’ll soak you in the toilet” and “you’ll be tired of swallowing dust,” but also with outstanding discoveries in the field of history. According to the president, the Russian army in the Seven Years' War was commanded by someone who died thirty years before it began. Peter I. The garrison of the Brest Fortress, of which even Chechen researchers find it difficult to find barely three percent of their fellow tribesmen, consisted of as many as a third of proud Vainakhs. The Bolsheviks, hushing up the First World War, introduced chapters about it into the school history course, and published the works of its participants, such as generals, in thousands of copies Andrey Zayonchkovsky And Alexey Brusilov, and even greater - the work of modern researchers such as Barbara Tuchman And Nikolai Yakovlev…

Vladimir Vladimirovich’s latest historical revelation was noted during a visit to the Moscow Jewish Museum and the Tolerance Center operating there, where, at the suggestion of the head of state, over 60 thousand ancient books and documents were transferred from the library of the head of the Hasidic Jewish religious movement “Chabad” Joseph Schneerson. To emphasize his generosity, the president reminded the grateful rabbis of those who took away their precious books and subtly mentioned the nationality of the expropriators.

“The decision to nationalize this library was made by the first Soviet government, and its members were approximately 80-85 percent Jewish. — Putin was denounced by the Bolshevik Council of People's Commissars. “But they, guided by false ideological considerations, then went for arrests and repressions of both Jews and Orthodox Christians, representatives of other faiths, and Muslims. They all were treated with the same brush. And these ideological blinders and false ideological guidelines, thank God, collapsed. And today we are, in fact, handing over these books to the Jewish community with a smile. I congratulate all of us on this event.”

It’s unlikely that Putin knows where the 85% in his report came from, but since the referents still won’t tell, this is not the first time that the sinner I have had to fill in the gap in presidential education. I inform you: the ominous figure was taken from the book of an emigrant writer Andrey Diky (Zankevich) “Jews in the USSR”, where this is the composition of the Council of People’s Commissars.

“Council of People's Commissars (Sovnarkom, SNK) 1918: Lenin- chairman, Chicherin— foreign affairs, Russian; Lunacharsky- enlightenment, Jew; Dzhugashvili (Stalin) - nationalities, Georgians; Protian- agriculture, Armenian; Larin (Lurie)- economic council, Jew; Schlichter- supply, Jew; Trotsky (Bronstein)- army and navy, Jew; Lander- state control, Jew; Kaufman- state property, Jew; V. Schmidt- labor, Jew; Lilina (Knigissen)- public health, Jewish; Spitsberg- cults, Jew; Zinoviev (Apfelbaum) - internal affairs, Jew; Anvelt- hygiene, Jew; Isidor Gukovsky- finance, Jew; Volodarsky- seal, Jew; Uritsky- elections, Jew; I. Steinberg- justice, Jew; Fengstein- refugees, Jew. In total, out of 20 people’s commissars, there is one Russian, one Georgian, one Armenian and 17 Jews.”

According to Zankevich, 85% are indeed Jews, but even a cursory glance at his list irrefutably proves that the author is lying. His “first Council of People’s Commissars” has been replaced by several subsequent ones, and the names and nationalities of the commissars are mixed up. Thus, the left Socialist Revolutionary Isaac Steinberg was indeed a Jew and the People's Commissar of Justice, but only from December 10, 1917, when his party decided to enter the government. Another left Socialist Revolutionary, the Armenian Prosh Proshyan, from that same day took the post of People's Commissar of Posts and Telegraphs, and not of Agriculture. Among the Jews Zankevich included the Estonian Jan Anvelt, the Russian Anatoly Lunacharsky, the Germans Karl Lander and Vasily Shmidt, of which only Lunacharsky was actually a member of the first Soviet government. Jews Grigory Zinoviev (Apfelbaum) And Moses Volodarsky (Goldstein) the first Council of People's Commissars were not included, but Jewish people's commissars Kaufman, Lilina (Knigissen), Fengstein And Spitsberg didn't exist at all.

Meanwhile, who was who in the first composition of the Council of People's Commissars, formed on October 26 (November 8), 1917, immediately after the October Revolution, has long been known from the corresponding resolution published in the 35th volume of the complete works of the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars and a quarter of a Jew - Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin). In addition to him, the government included:

People's Commissar for Internal Affairs - Alexey Rykov, Russian.

People's Commissar of Agriculture - Vladimir Milyutin, Russian.

People's Commissar of Labor - Alexander Shlyapnikov, Russian.

The People's Commissariat for Military and Naval Affairs is a committee consisting of: Vladimir Ovseenko (Antonov), Pavel Dybenko And Nikolai Krylenko(the first two are Ukrainians, the third is perhaps half or a quarter Jewish, but with the same success his grandfather, the foreman of the volost administration Abram Korneevich Krylenko, could also be Russian, who received his name at baptism from the priest according to the calendar).

People's Commissar for Trade and Industry Victor Nogin, Russian.

People's Commissar of Public Education - Anatoly Lunacharsky, Russian.

People's Commissar of Finance - Ivan Skvortsov (Stepanov), Russian.

People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs - Lev Bronstein (Trotsky), Jew.

People's Commissar of Justice - Georgy Oppokov (Lomov), Russian.

People's Commissar for Food Affairs - Ivan Teodorovich, Pole.
