"Promised land". What attracted to the Soviet people and that entails is now the CIS citizens

«Promised land». What attracted to the Soviet people and that entails is now the CIS citizens

Jewish emigration from the USSR and Russia, one side, is the topic, seems to have been subjected to the most detailed analysis a hundred times, but on the other hand... It’s worth delving deeply into its official interpretations, and in the memories of the direct participants in this long and arduous process, as it becomes clear: not everything is so clear here. Finally, give up everything, uprooting yourself and rushing halfway around the world in pursuit of some ephemeral wonderful future is not an easy decision. And yet, it was accepted and accepted by tens of thousands of our compatriots. Why?

As a matter of fact, talk about some kind of mass emigration (or, if anything, repatriation) Soviet citizens can enter Israel, since the 60s of the twentieth century. At first, it was then that the state regime softened somewhat, The “Iron Curtain” began to give, albeit small, but there are cracks, and the desire to leave the USSR was no longer automatically equated with treason. And secondly, the state of Israel suddenly powerfully and loudly declared itself, winning the Six Day War. Many sources point to this victory as the reason, prompted Soviet Jews, immediately inflamed with “patriotic feelings” and pride for the land of their ancestors, start making departure plans.

Likely, this is not entirely true. In fact, after the “Six Day War” in the Soviet Union, the processes of “fighting Zionism” were activated at the state level., and other leaders, as has happened in Russian history more than once or twice, started to go too far, starting to look for “Zionists” in their own teams and organizations. clear, that some Soviet citizens, flaunting the notorious “fifth count”, it really ruined my life. Hence their sudden desire to leave this country at any cost..

By the way, according to the recognition of the most honest and frank leaders of the repatriation movement in the USSR, There were only a few ideological opponents of the Soviet regime among those leaving. The rest were just rushing there, Where, in their opinion, they will have more life prospects, where will it be more satisfying?, freer, life is more fun. Regarding the religious component, the picture is approximately the same.. If only all returnees were attracted by the Western Wall in Jerusalem, then they wouldn't end up in New York, having made a transfer from a Soviet plane to an Israeli one in Vienna or Rome, and in American. AT 1973 year almost from 35 thousand of Jews who left the USSR were about one and a half thousand, as early as 1989 year, of the citizens who left our country “to reunite with their families in Israel”, almost 80%.

One writer later characterized this audience as cunning, who burned three countries at once: in the Union they lied about relatives in Israel, the Israelis swore “loyalty to Zion”, and the Americans were convinced of the supposed “political persecution” against them. In fact, people just wanted to get out of the “hated scoop”. To what extent their dreams of heavenly life in the West subsequently came true is a topic for a completely different conversation.

For the same reason, the flow of emigrants from the “ruins” of the USSR sharply increased - they fled to “promised land” from countries, where there was no more peace, no peace, no normal work, no clear prospects. They fled, where they could. For people with higher education, representatives of the scientific and creative intelligentsia this was especially relevant.

Not otrekaysya of rubles. Tips outsider

People are leaving for Israel from Russia and other CIS countries today. Fortunately there are no more problems with this. The movement of “refuseniks” - those, who was not given permission to leave in the USSR. Decades later, the problems with the KGB and the party organization seem like a terrible fairy tale., who decided to go to the Israeli embassy for a visa. And indeed, Now anyone can go anywhere, if there was a desire and would be accepted there, where are you going.

The West has lost a great opportunity to bully our country for “obstructing repatriation”, accusing her of “violating human rights”. Today we have to use completely different reasons for this..

Why are they coming now?? Yes, all for the same reason, which was recently voiced by the President, remembering on this occasion the saying about fish and men. Looking for, where is deeper, looking for, where is better... True, For some time now there has been some return traffic, primarily for the above-mentioned creative intelligentsia, “open spaces” Israel for the flight of creative thought which turned out to be too narrow.
