He was a raging anti-Semite, and liked to introduce lengthy attacks against Jews into his speeches. What Stalin. seemed to like most about the BolshevikpParty was that it included fewer Jews than the Menshevik party. 'It exasperates Lenin that God sent him such comrades as the Mensheviks!' Stalin used to say, according to Arsenidze. 'Martov, Dan, Alexandrov -- they are nothing but uncircumcised Jews! So is that old baba Vera Zasulich! Go and work with them! You will find that they won't fight and there is no rejoicing at their banquets! They are cowards and shopkeepers! The workers of Georgia ought to know that the Jewish nation produces only cowards and people who are no use at fighting!'" (Payne, Robert. The Rise and Fall of Stalin. New York: Avon Books, 1966. pp 110-111)
