    The burden of proof is on you. If you refuse to give proof to your claims, I can simply dismiss your claims without proof. It’s a standard anti-communist to accuse the Soviets of antisemitism, and I don’t need to give you the benefit of the doubt.

      I mean your go to was wikipedia which directly mentions antisemitism by name and you still won’t accept it. You are not engaging honestly, and you are the one who does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

        Do you also accept Jeremy Corbyn’s wikipedia claiming he is an antisemite and citing mainstream newspapers as the evidence for it?

        I tried pretty hard to find anything to back you up, but I came up empty. He taught at Moscow State University, which apparently had an anti-semitism problem 40 years after he stopped teaching there. He is mentioned once in a CIA document titled COMMUNISM AND ANTI-SEMITISM, where his entire presence is him saying “No, these things will not be reinsti-tuted”. A historian once sent a letter to Suslov complaining about Vladimir Begun being antisemitic. I can’t read Russian, so I might be missing something, but I can see no evidence that Suslov is antisemitic.

        There are also a few Mikhail Suslov’s that aren’t connected to the one we are talking about. One of them was Jewish.
