Russia has a great and very important relationship with the history of Judaism worldwide, it is not possible to talk about the issue of the Jews without mentioning the role that the Russian empire has had in the development of the events that led to the current situation of the Jews in the world, in the Moscow Special Jews Tour we will discover all the details.

A bit history:

In Russia there was the largest Jewish community in the world in all its history, the Russian empire had a population of more than 5 million Jews. Most of the existence of this large community in the Russian empire, they were living in the ghettos called Chtatel, to this day there are some traces of these ghettos in various areas of the already defragmented Soviet Union.

Most of the Russian Jewish community comes from areas annexed by the Romanov empire in its conquests of Prussia among others.

Before the Bolshevik revolution and afterwards there were migrations to other countries, there was also great migration after the dissolution of the USSR and the relocate of almost all that was left of the Jewish community in Russia to Israel in the early 1990s.
