How a million Russian immigrants reshaped the Israeli identity
In short: In just two decades, a massive wave of migration from Russia has fundamentally altered the cultural and political landscape of Israel. This documentary examines how this demographic shift is redefining what it means to be Jewish in the modern era.
Since approximately 2007, over one million people from Russia have moved to Israel, accounting for roughly 20 percent of the country's total population. This significant influx has moved beyond simple demographics to influence the core of Israeli media and politics.
The documentary explores the tension and transformation inherent in this shift, specifically focusing on how the Russian elite are shaping the nation's social fabric and the ongoing questions regarding the future of Israeli society.
