This article follows a conference in St. Petersburg about the Jewish history that Russia was very public about before the iron curtain went up. My interest in this article stems from the fact that I have never really heard anything major on the topic of Jewish culture in Russia but the prospect of that becoming more evident in the news is rather exciting. I also enjoyed this article because it spoke of the near future of the Jewish community and how it looks like the culture is beginning to flourish once again after having been “stripped of their identities” during the 70 years of communist rule.
