metadata.value: A high level of anti-semitism in the newly revived Polish state had to be taken into account by the
  Soviet diplomacy in the first half of the 1920s. The disclosed documents from the correspondence between the
  Plenipotentiary representative of the USSR in Warsaw with the central office of the People’s Commissariat of
  Foreign Affairs introduced into the scholarship for the first time testify to the existence of a Jewish problem in
  Polish-Soviet relations. Moscow had to keep track of the number of Jews in the diplomatic mission in Warsaw
  as well as to consider the request of Polish officials, including the Polish leader Jozef Pilsudski, about the desirability
  of appointing a person of Russian origin the head of the mission in Warsaw given the level of anti-semitism
  in the Polish society. The deputies of the Polish Sejm at a meeting of the Foreign Affairs Committee attributed
  the shortcomings in the Polish-Soviet negotiations to the Jewish nationality of the representative of the USSR.
  Another problem in Polish-Soviet relations in 1923 was represented by the destiny of Jews who escaped through
  Poland from Soviet Russia and Soviet Ukraine to the United States. After the introduction of immigration quotas in
  the USA in 1921 about 6 to 8 thousand Jews were not able to receive entry visas in the United States in 1923. The
  Polish government required their urgent deportation. Other countries did not want to see them on their territory
  either. The Jewish organization “Joint” was forced to ask Moscow to approve of their repatriation to the USSR on
  condition it took charge of covering all expenses. After some hesitation, the USSR agreed with such repatriation.
  However, it was not organized in a civilized way. The Polish authorities simply ordered to drive Jews to the borders
  with the USSR. It meant the spontaneous transfer across the border which caused a new scandal in the already
  strained Polish-Soviet relations.
