Almost a million people from the former Soviet Union immigrated to Israel in the 1990s. A shocking experience, especially as a child. Growing up between Russian-speaking parents and a society that was at least ambivalent towards the new arrivals, the children from back then shed light on an important part of Israeli immigration history.
