Were there any real pogroms in the Soviet Union - the closest that I'm aware of was the Doctors Plot but that ended pretty much as soon as Stalin died. Indeed a common accusation of White forces was that the Bolsheviks were Jews.
Edit: Note that I am not seeking to defend the Soviets here - just questioning whether antisemitism was actually part of their ideology.
Many groups had real problems in the Soviet union.
Yes, not arguing with that, just that those weren't directly driven from Communist ideology as they were with the Nazis.
