Over the course of working on this story, we spoke to many people who have helped us
better understand the historical and present-day conditions for Jews living Russia.
Alexander, a lawyer who emigrated and later returned to Russia;
Yakov, a regional trade union chairman;
Maria(R), who teaches Yiddish at School#2; and
Ira, a student at that same school,
are just a few who told us what being Jewish in Russia means to them.
