Then things began going wrong for them. In Russia, after Lenin’s death in 1924, the foremost Jewish Bolshevik, Trotsky (Lev Davidovich Bronstein), lost a power struggle against a faction which, although mostly Jewish also, was headed by a non-Jew, Stalin (Iosif Vissarionvich Dzhugashvili). At the end of the decade Jews still filled nearly every top post in the Soviet power structure, but the viciousness and thoroughness with which Stalin had waged his fight against Trotsky and the latter’s followers had frightened many of the more far-sighted Jews, and they were filled with uneasy forebodings about their future in the Soviet Union.
In the next decade those forebodings were realized, as Stalin launched a massive purge of the Bolshevik power structure, sending whole armies of Jewish commissars to their deaths in prison cellars and slave-labor camps. The fact that many of the prison wardens and camp commissars in the 1930′s were still Jewish was only a slight comfort, because a new generation of Gentile commissars was clearly on the rise, and the days of Jewish power in the Soviet Union were numbered.
In the article "Background to Treason" Pierce suggested that Stalin started to purge Jews from the Soviet Union because he won a power struggle against Trotsky, but I found this documentary on Youtube that suggests there is a little more to it that that. To elaborate I guess, If you watch from about 6:30 -9:50 minutes of the video below, you will see them start talking about how Stalin was hoping to use Israel as a power base of the Soviet Union in the Middle East. And he also thought that since many of the Jewish leaders like Golda Meir was born and educated in Russia, and since the Soviets secretly helped the Israeli's in their fighting against Palestinians, that the Jews would be grateful to Russia for not only than that but for also fighting against Hitler. But as soon as Israel came to being it was clear that Israel would turn to the United States as being it's closest Ally, and not Russia, and Joseph Stalin felt betrayed by the Jews, and that's why he began purging the Jews from the Soviet government.
