Abstract
"This paper deals with the attitudes of Jewish immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union. It delineates the adjustment strategy Soviet immigrants have adopted and attempts to explore their ethnic orientation....While it is too early to draw conclusions regarding the ethnic identity of Soviet immigrants in Israel, our findings indicate a strong tendency for these immigrants to manifest and sustain a unique ¿Russian identity'. Taking into consideration the cultural and socio-demographic characteristics of Soviet immigrants, we may hypothesize that we [will] witness the emergence of a new ethnic group in Israel." (EXCERPT)
