Abstract

They were born in the Soviet Union, emigrated to Israel as children, teenagers or young adults, and have lived in Berlin for many years. Ten Russian-speaking Israelis talk about feeling out of place in their homeland, feeling at home in a foreign country, and their relationship with Israel and Germany. They may have little in common, but there is one thing that binds them together: the Russian language.
