never quite know how the Jewish population is doing in Russia since the topic is not covered in major US newspapers.Matt’s observations were very informative.
I am so pleased that Matt is on top of the news in regards to the Jewish population. Being of Russian heritage I am so glad that the Jews do not have to live in fear.
