Internal Affairs. Yes. Internal to the Russian Communist Party.

No, to the union. That included police.

The NKVD weren’t Jew-hunters, engaged in a policy of ethnic cleansing.

Actually they were that too for a short period of time before Stalin's death, when he got paranoid.

Also did you know there were unofficial quotas for good universities for the amount of Jewish students, while some simply didn't accept any? In MSU such quotas existed, while in Gnesinka there were no Jews at all.

You could say the same thing about Ayn Rand.

She is usually criticized for her simplistic understanding of the world outside of Soviet matters, not for understanding them wrong.

You definitely sound very knowledgeable
