Putin: First Soviet government was mostly Jewish:

 

Speaking at Moscow’s Jewish Museum, Russian president says politicians 'were guided by false ideological considerations

 

JTA — Russian President Vladimir Putin said that at least 80 percent of the members of the first Soviet government were Jewish.

“I thought about something just now: The decision to nationalize this library was made by the first Soviet government, whose composition was 80-85 percent Jewish,” Putin said June 13 during a visit to Moscow’s Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center.

Putin was referencing the library of Rabbi Joseph I. Schneerson, the late leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.
The books, which are claimed by Chabad representatives in the United States, began being moved to the museum in Moscow this month.
