Russia has a long long history of anti-semitism unfortunately. Even now it goes strong.

Yeah, but not a lot of Jews left in Russia to practice it against, poor dears. That's why they're onto the gays. They must figure if they hit the Jews in Russia with another pogrom, the rest of them will do another aliyah. Israel's pretty hungry for immigrants even now, a hundred and ninety thousand Russian Jews is a big deal.
