Norm, Jewish emigration from Russia encompassed all walks of life. Regardless of whom DWM was or wasn't recruiting, it remains that there were no Jewish monoglots between the fall of the Second Temple and the ascent of the Third International, and there was no shortage of linguistic knowledge for the Jewish-owned and largely Jewish-managed DWM to draw upon throughout its course of operations.
