Notes, Jews in the USSR, 1917-2000
Russia still feels it has historic responsibility in the world, not sending weapons, but
other ways.

Life pretty good for Js, but not for Judaism. Mostly econ reasons for leaving.
88-89 KGB not tracking people so much, don't need to be so quiet. Ro'I and Beker's
book, 91, archives not open so much, but people yes. Researchers went to activists.
Picture of awful life. Ro'I, Jewish Movement in the Soviet Union, 2012, more archival
sources. Regular people. Kulturniks, wanted to open synagogues. Political
dissidents, wanted to change the system.
