Евреи в России и в СССР: исторический очерк

second edition. First publication in Russia

Andrei Ivanovich Dikiy (real name Zankevich 1893 - 1977) is a Russian writer, white emigrant, politician and journalist.

According to a number of historians, Diky’s writings, devoted to the issue of the role of Jews in the establishment of Bolshevism, are anti-Semitic in nature. Thus, the publicist Semyon Reznik in his book “The Mythology of Hatred” described him as “the last of the Nazis” and “the author, in his own way, of the classic anti-Semitic tome “Jews in Russia and the USSR.” Doctor of Historical Sciences Irina Levinskaya calls him a “pathological anti-Semite.” Data on the national composition of the government of Soviet Russia and its repressive bodies, published by A. Dikim in his work “Jews in Russia and the USSR” and intended to indicate the dominance of Jews in the leadership of post-revolutionary Russia, were widely used by A. I. Solzhenitsyn in his book “200 Years together". The author of the book “Jews in the KGB,” Vadim Abramov, points out a number of incorrect information that Solzhenitsyn took without any verification from Dikiy’s writings.
