Some citizens of Jewish origin chose to leave Russia after its army invaded Ukraine.

Almost 20.5 thousand Jews have left Russia since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Before the Russian invasion, 165,000 people of Jewish origin lived in Russia. This was reported by the Russian service of the Air Force with reference to the data of the Israeli Jewish Agency Sokhnut.

The publication claimed that “many Russian Jews were opposed to the war,” but they had no opportunity to openly oppose it. The text also says that they are no longer safe in Russia.

Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko wrote in his Telegram that the current number of Jews who left the Russian Federation exceeded last year’s number. Then these numbers did not reach 10 thousand people.

He also cited the words of Benny Hadad, head of the repatriation department of the International Commonwealth of Jews and Christians, that “in general, people are not fleeing from war, but from a regime that is more reminiscent of a totalitarian one.”

It should be noted that at the end of July, information appeared that Russia intended to close the representative office of the Jewish Agency Sokhnut.

Recall that in early May, a scandal erupted over the words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about anti-Semitic Jews. Russia’s Chief Rabbi Berl Lazar demanded a public apology from the politician.

Later, Israel said that Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized for the embarrassing remark in a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
