don't think ussr has sunk so low tbh, although czechoslovakia did (but was significantly less obvious at the time due to news travel)
Well the Soviets had a complicated relationship with Zionism (pushed for 47 partition for one thing when even the Brits knew it was a bad idea). It took a while for them to figure that one out.
Tbh, strongly feel stalin cavalier attitude towards ethnic movements played a strong role in that, but they quickly realized what it was (or, more cynically, that entity became pet imperialist project, most definitively with suez crisis)
Yeh I’m not an expert in any regard but I wouldn’t be surprised. I think there was also some realpolitik going on, hoping they could get a socialist Israel under their wings to fuck with the Brits/other imperialist interests in the region
