And that number an intentional lie that was debunked decades ago by a person pushing the Jewish Bolsheviksm narrative. A narrative that started in the 1910s to scare people away from communism (but it didn't work). What makes those numbers so wrong that they are definitely hilariously wrong is Jews amounted to about 600K total of the Russian population when this started. So we are to believe almost Jewish every man, woman, and child joined the Bolshevik party in an official capacity? Like always, there is truth to this: they were grossly overrepresented in leadership positions and that persisted even until the 1950s. Bolshevikism was primarily a Russian movement with the largest minority, the Jews, being the second largest supporters of the movement. This is fact. This is true. What is not true is that there was some sort of global Jewish conspiracy theory to push Communism in Russia. Sorry, that's given the Jews back then too much credit. >At the party congress held in August 1917, a total of 29 out of 171 delegates were Jews, the second most represented ethnic group after the Russians; moreover, 6 of 17 Central Committee members were Jews. >At the party congress held in August 1917, a total of 29 out of 171 delegates were Jews, the second most represented ethnic group after the Russians; moreover, 6 of 17 Central Committee members were Jews. The Central Committee was responsible for directing party work between congresses. Although many Jews were linked to Trotsky and the opposition to Stalin in the mid- and late 1920s (and no Jews remained in the Politburo following the dismissal of Trotsky, Zinov’ev, and Kamenev in 1926 until the appointment of Lazar’ Kaganovich in 1930), Jews accounted for 10.9 percent of delegates to the Sixteenth Party Congress in 1930. Indeed, they still formed 10.1 percent of the Central Committee in 1939 (11 full and 3 candidate members), although several—including Ian Gamarnik, Iurii Steklov, Genrikh Iagoda, and Iona Iakir—had fallen victim to the purges of 1936–1938. >Jews remained overrepresented in the party rank and file. Representing just 1.8 percent of the total population in the 1926 census, Jews comprised 5.2 percent of party members in 1922 and 4.3 percent in 1927; in Belorussia, they accounted for 24 percent of the party membership. The proportional decline did not signify an absolute decrease, as total membership rose in this period from slightly more than 400,000 to almost 800,000. Of the Jewish party members in Ukraine, 67.5 percent were classified as workers and 28.8 percent as white-collar employees; in Russia, 47.8 percent were workers and 48 percent were white collar. The size of the party continued to grow until 1933, when there were more than 2.2 million full members; it then fell, topping the 2 million mark again only in 1941. In both 1922 and in 1927, Jews were the sole ethnic group, with women comprising more than 20 percent of its membership (24.1% in 1922 and 23.0% in 1927). >Nevertheless, Jews were still overrepresented in the rank and file. No official data on the proportion of Jews in the All-Union Party were published after the 1920s. In the area of pre-1939 Ukraine, however, Jews constituted 13.4 percent of party members in 1940; thus, if the incidence relative to the proportion of Jews in the general population in other areas was the same as in Ukraine, they accounted for 4.9 percent of members at that point; it is actually thought to have been higher. Even in the 1960s, when membership topped 12 million, there was a higher proportion of Jews in the party than in the general population. In Belorussia, Jews made up 1.9 percent of the population in 1959, and comprised 6.4 percent of the party in 1962, so that 103 out of 1,000 Jews were party members; in Moldavia, the corresponding figures were 6.3 percent of party members (in 1963) and 3.3 percent of the population, with 45 members per 1,000 Jews. https://yivoencyclopedia.org/article.aspx/Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Unionz
