Orwell was unhappy with Soviet Communists due to their liberal collaboration and repression of anarchist Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War This is most certainly not true. Modern estimates of Soviet repressions of Anarchists in Republican Spain number a total of 20 individuals, there were literally 10 soviet NKVD agents in Spain at its peak. The whole idea of the “Jewish-Bolsheviks” repressing everything and anything in Spain stems from Francoist propaganda and from widespread application of anecdotal evidence of one or two cases such as the assassination of Andreu Nin.
