The Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks were the two main communist partys in the Duma at the downfall of the Czar in 1917.
There were three influential members of the Bolshevik Party: Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky.
Lenin declared Russian neutrality and immediately withdrew the Russian Army from WW1.

Let's just say it's an exaggeration. There were jews among the Bolshevik leaders, but the majority of those leaders were not jewish. Bear in mind that antisemitism has been around for centuries, and that many Americans have held it. This dispatch is probably tainted by the Ambassador's own biases. And notice that while the Communist movement is purportedly internationalist by its very nature, in every case where it has been implemented it has become nationalist in practice. The USSR's brand of communism, and support for communism outside its own borders, has always acted in the best interests of Russia first and for communism as an ideology second.

Lenin. But one of the first things he did was to get Russia out of the war, which he did by signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany in early 1918.
