subtle discrimination

It says "Levenfish was virtually ignored by the Soviet chess authorities who gave their full blessing to the young rising star and committed communist Botvinnik. Levenfish also may have experienced subtle discrimination due to his Jewish ancestry". But wasn't Botvinik also jewish? Further ahead there is: "Other players born pre-revolution, such as Alekhine, Bogoljubov, Rubinstein and Nimzowitsch, were all allowed to travel and even ended up living abroad". Out of four mentioned players two are also jewish. I would like to see some citation for discrimination on the ground of him being jewish. Also it's not like Soviet were that pour that they could give their "full blessing" to only one player. There must have been a deeper reason why Levenfish wasn't supported. Maybe, and I am just speculating now, Botvinik, who was as mentioned favorite of the establishment and well connected saw him as a treat and wanted him sidelined? Maybe Soviet authorities had a reason to fear not only his defection to the west, but possible denunciation of USSR afterwards? Or maybe Stalin was just paranoid (as he generally was) about Levenfish? All these points has as much merit as the ones stated in the text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.86.111.138 (talk) 19:40, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
