Yes TJ, I think no one will know, and this is IMHO is less important.

My main point is that the Kremlin committed a grave mistake to put it mildly to rekindle the issue of anti-Semitism for its own political goals, and a reason to invade Ukraine, which it sounds ridiculous given the history of Stalin purges of 75 years ago and thereafter the treatment of ethnic Jews beyond the Iron curtain my family included.

What I do know that close or around 2 million Russian Jews left the former USSR as son as they could of which I think close to 1.5 million came to Israel. I am not sure how many Jews remained in Russia, may be few hundred thousands but trust me those people did not leave because they where loved within their communities in the wide expanses of former USSR, and many left high ranking position in academy or industry to start a new life and more difficult adaption.

What puzzles me most is the simple fact that Europe as a whole from the Atlantic to the Ural Mountains is such a mixture of various ethnic groups that at one time or another are willing to kill each other, when on the other hand people from the same greater Europe immigrated to North America and all of a sudden they live in harmony and ethnicity and heritage of each of them is celebrated and in NYC even paraded.

Why this model cannot be transplanted back to Europe is beyond me.
