Not so much as the Latvians, who were simply insanely overrepresented during the Civil War in leadership and management positions (besides serving as the elite soldiers, the Latvian Riflemen). Even more so than the Poles, despite being such a tiny nation.
And most of the Bolsheviks were just Russians.
You have introduced some interesting ideas. I will look deeper into it.
The point of calling these current leaders Bolsheviks is not whether they have Russian or jewish ancestry (or Polish or Latvian), but they have similar actions. Moving away from the identity politics of the individuals in the group, as we know the financial backers install puppets who will not arouse suspicion, but look at the stated aims of the group, and what actions they take.
