It wasn’t just antisemtism it was the fact that women barred from any progression.

Sure in US it might have been oh honey why do you need to work but in the USSR it was much worse it was horrible exploitation under the guise of liberation.

It is a bit too late, but I just stubled upon a mini-series documentary by Leonid Parfenov about Russian Jews. As Parfenov points out, Russian Empire and then Soviet Union and contemporary Russian went over periods of both antisemitism and judophilia. Those interested in the history of Russian Jews should really watch it.
