Israelis with a Russian accent have been part of Israel''s social, cultural and economic landscape for over 20 years.  They are found in all walks of life: as controversial politicians, senior physicians and scientists, kibbutz members and religious settlers. Despite lacking personal assets and below-average income, many of them managed to enter Israeli middle class, and some even became part of local elites â" an achievement not to be taken for granted for the first-generation immigrants. This collection offers a multi-faceted portrait of the ''Great Russian Aliyah'' of the 1990s with the emphasis on socio-political and cultural aspects of its insertion in Israel â" based on social research conducted by the scholars most of whom are former-Soviet immigrants themselves. The issues covered include the exploration of Israel as an extension of the post-soviet space; the evolving political culture of Russian Israelis; the prospects for the ethnic media and Russian language continuity; visual tokens of ''domestication'' of a major Israeli city by its ''Russian'' residents, and mutual influences between Israeli and Russian cinematic traditions. Written in a lively and non-technical manner, most contributions will spark interest among both social scientists and broad readership interested in modern-day Israel and post-Soviet societies.  

This book was originally published as a special issue of Israel Affairs.
