Bad news Evile. You're wrong. Again.
Ever ask yourself why, if the Jews were doing so well under the Soviets, so many wanted to get out?
Of course not. How silly of me.
HERE WE GOOOOOO........
In Soviet Russia it was a crime often punished by long periods of prison and in frequent cases by death (through
starvation or torture) to practice many elements of Judaism.
Even the study of the Hebrew Language was a crime and all the more so acts that were more blatantly religious,
such as observing the Biblical Commandment (incumbent only upon Jews) of circumcision of 8 day old baby boys (orolder boys who were not circumcised on the eighth day).

As recently as sixty-five years ago, Kuba still boasted a number of rabbonim and botei knesses, even after fifteen years of Communist rule. However, when a contingent of KGB officials actually arrived in the all-Jewish town, the rabbonim were either murdered or deported to Siberia and the botei knesses were all burned, except for one. Today, the sole chacham who is a native of Kuba is Rabbi Natan, whose late father, Rabbi Noach zt'l (he passed away around four years ago), was a talmid chochom who, as a boy of twelve, saw his own father murdered by the Russians before his eyes.
