At the beginning of the 20th century, Jewish population of the USSR was approximately 4.2% of the total population.  The same time, in Ukraine, near 80% of the members of Cheka, ranging from the top investigators to executioners, were Jews. ...  The Cheka conducted numerous arrests, killed suspects and took their property. "

"anyone who had the misfortune to fall into the hands of the Cheka stood a very good chance of finding himself confronted with and possibly shot by a Jewish investigator." 

In 1990s, after his visit to Simferopol, Ukraine, Israeli attorney Yoram Sheftel wrote, “On the right-hand wall was a stone memorial plaque engraved with the names of about thirty KGB men from Simferopol who had fallen in the Great Patriotic War, as the Soviets call World War II.  I was shocked and angry as I read the names: the first was Polonski and the last Levinstein, and all those between were ones like Zalmonowitz, Geller and Kagan - all Jews.  The best of Jewish youth in Russia, the cradle of Zionism, had sold itself and its soul to the Red Devil (The Demjanjuk Affair: The Rise and Fall of a Show-Trial, 1994). 

Well... the way I understand it... Lenin and his cahoots made a coup in 1917 in Petersburg.  He came to the power and with his bloody body Dzerchinskii they organized GPU, OGPU, Cheka.... later called NKVD and then MGB and then KGB.  Basically, it was a secret police.  In 1917-1918, out of the top 10 Bolshevik leaders, 8 or 10 were Jews.  Lenin ordered swift execution of all possible opposition, including Esers and Mensheviks who helped him to come to the power. The secret police started extermination of the opposition after Jewess Kaplan shot and injured Jewish Lenin. From the book: "The book contains a lot of information about top Jewish Cheka-NKVD leaders and their crimes including sexual crimes.  This includes the murder of the Tsar's family, their doctor and a cook through the chain of Jewish command from Lenin and Sverdlov to Yurovsky who personally shot Tsar and his son.
