Russia's Jewish History They Don't Teach in School

They helped build Russia, then were blamed for its fall. This is their forgotten story. 👉 What World Leaders NEED to Know about Russia: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6d9EIByxz1AdkmIOYUlrDd0rmByq5zSN For centuries, Jews in Russia rose against staggering odds, becoming doctors, artists, revolutionaries, and political leaders despite brutal discrimination and systemic oppression. But every time the system cracked, they were the first to be scapegoated. In this video, author Elvira Bary, born in the USSR, unpacks the complex, haunting, and often buried history of Jews in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union—from the Pale of Settlement and tsarist pogroms to Stalinist repression and forced emigration. It’s a story of brilliance, betrayal, and erasure. Don't miss it.
