@reserva120 That's linked to Russia and Eastern Slavic countries, and it predated the Soviet Union, Marxism, and communism. It's been a stereotype since Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great.
The 20th-Century genocides you're talking about are the purges, holodomor, man-made famines, gulags, "No Step Back Directive," and Kaytn massacre that happened mostly at the direction of Stalin. Yes. Stalin killed thousands of Poles after invading with Hitler, who killed 6,000,000 Poles.
The indiscriminate killing, scorched-Earth policy, and war crimes are the stereotypes I'm talking about. The same claim has been made against Yeltsin and Putin in Ukraine, Georgia, Syria, and Chechen. It's more to do with Russophobia that Russian themselves have contributed to spreading.

Rather than demonetizing this well-sourced, historically accurate, and mostly educational Cold War documentary, it should be made easily available and encouraged to counter misinformation motivated by actual anti-Semitism. I'm not for censorship of true and factually supported information or silencing political dissidents critical of the Israeli government, US/UK foreign policy in the Middle East, and Zionism by labeling them as "hateful bigots."
Unlike like the laws barring governments in the West from restricting protected speech, the same doesn't apply to privately owned platforms like YouTube. I'm not sure how YouTube will place additional restrictions on the terms of service, but it does seem like the online community and dark corners of the internet have regressed back to the type of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and tropes that were common in pre-1945 Europe.
Accurately portraying, documenting, and covering the 20th-century history of Judaism and Zionism is enough to show how we can learn from history and not repeat the mistakes of the past. Anti-Semitism, xenophobia, and racial hatred were enough for humanity to return to barbarism and commit war crimes and genocide that would have been unthinkable prior to WWI.
