I will contact the Head of History accordingly.

The answer to 1 is all of them apart from Stalin (Lenin's maternal antecedents were Jewish, which I believe makes him Jewish), while I think for question 2 you wanted to know the relationship between Kamenev and Trotsky, which is that they were brothers-in-law.

He also housed him for an night whilst his escape was planned. sorry if i've ruined your competition. Ironically I am actually reading a Simon Sebag Montefiore book at the moment.
