Bolshevism

Bolshevism
   The term is synonymous with Soviet communism and refers to the dictatorship established by Lenin in Russia in October 1917. The Nazis claimed that the Bolshevik Revolution was both fomented and led by the Jews who were determined to spread communism throughout Europe. Adolf Hitler believed that it was necessary to destroy Jewish Bolshevism in order both to realize Germany’s expansionist policies in the East and to prevent the spread of communism in the West.
   See also Ideology; Lebensraum.
