Among the numerous myths of Soviet history, one of the most persistent and widespread is the myth about the role of Jews in the “organs”, and it exists in two mutually exclusive versions. On the one hand, there is an opinion about “Jewish dominance” in the Soviet special services. On the other hand, about the “anti-Semitic policy” of the KGB. “Patriots” publish endless lists of security officers with “dubious” surnames, denouncing their “sinister role” in Russian history. “Liberals” curse “KGBists-Judophobes” who persecute innocent fellow citizens on the “fifth point”. What Is it true or false in these accusations? And how did everything really happen? Vadim Abramov’s book puts an end to this topic. Here, for the first time, soberly and impartially, on the basis of irrefutable archival documents, the true role and degree of influence of Jews in the Soviet state security agencies is revealed, not fake, but genuine lists, “percentage norms” and detailed biographies of Jewish security officers from the first to the last years of Soviet power are provided. .
