Question by Aku: Why did Russia never pay any reparation to the victims and/or their families?
Stalin killed more people than Hitler. The number of Jewish people perished because of his orders in Russia is about 13 million. Still, Russia never paid any reparation to Israel, or any other country, unlike Germany.

If you imply that there was Holocaust like policies towards the Jews in the Soviet Union you are wrong to say the least. How can you explain then a Jewish husband of Stalin’s daughter Svetlana and thousands of Jews occupying high-ranking positions within the Soviet Union? How can you explain the existence of thousands of Jewish musicians, composers, authors, artists, actors, university lecturers, doctors, lawyers, KGB officers, teachers etc in the Soviet Union? How can you explain that Stalin set up Birobidzhan Autonomous Region, a special Jewish administrative and cultural autonomy in the USSR?
Stalin’s “antisemitism” was in line with his omnipresent paranoia and fear of “foreign influence”. It became especially the case after creation of the state of Israel in the end of 1940s. Stalin and the Soviet Union was in the same measure “antisemitic” as it was anti-Russian, anti-Ukrainian, anti-Georgian and so on down the alphabet…
Moreover, if we take into account how many Jews participated in the Russian revolution on the side of the Bolsheviks it might lead us to dangerous conclusion that Israel itself is very much in debt to Russia :)…

Because Jewish people were the founders of the USSR. Most of Bolsheviks(not all) was a Jewish.
Stalin was afraid of foreign influence to change regime( he knows about Japan money for first (1905) and German money for October (1917) revolution, so think bad about all foreign people.
For example he was afraid of esperantists, so many of them was under repressions.

Надеюсь, ты поймешь. А не поймешь – так черт с тобой.
Так вот, запомни. Мы не воевали заодно в вами, а МЫ, практически в одиночку, победили Гитлера, пока ВЫ давали деньги и снабжали И СССР И Германию.

The information about 13 millions of killed Jews etc. is totally wrong.
The whole Jewish population of Russia was much less that 13 mio. at that time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Jewish_po…

I think Israel should pay reparation to Russia,because bolshevics were jewish mostly,communists too,even KGB guy Andropov who was the soviet leader in the 80's was jewish and killers of Tsar were jewish too! The number of Russian people perished because of jewish communist govt in Russia is about 50 million. In 90's jewish oligarchia stole billions $ of russian people and now live in Israel,i think its time give it back,right?
+being ukrainian in some i'd like Israel to pay Ukraine for hungry 30's,because those deaths were made by guys with jewish surnames which commanded to take all wheat and food,its official document published 2 years ago by SSU.
Dont even think that i have something against jews,i have friend in Netanya,Israel.

Россия является жестокой стране, которая не заботится о его граждан. Я не знаю, почему они воевали в Великой Отечественной войне с нами, потому что они так сказать.

I hate Israel, they are always getting in everyones business. Why should the Germans apoligize after WWII? It was one man and a handful of advisors that carried out the final solution….in fact, average citizens NEVER KNEW about the holocaust even happening. Israel wasn't even a country (and still isn't considered a country by many others).
And the first answer is totally correct. Jews are and always were treated great in Russia….there was no racism there concerning jews.
