Most countries did not expel the Jews. The most notable expulsion was from Spain, but Jews were welcome in most countries. Some Jews became bankers because moneylending was against canon law, and therefore Christians could not form banks. As the law changed, plenty of Christians got into banking and finance. Few Jews were tax collectors and estate managers in Eastern Europe, though some were in Poland. For the most part, Jews in Eastern Europe lived in small towns engaged in farming and small businesses, like tailor, butcher, and baker. Most pogroms were stirred up by the Crown, especially the Czar, in order to distract attention from discontent with the regime. Although a disproportionate number of Jews (relative to their size in the population) were Communists, most Jews were not, and most Communists were not Jews. Furthermore, Stalin and his closest advisors were not Jewish, and many of the Communists Stalin purged were Jewish. But more than that, Jewish Communists were not "Talmud Jews".
