1) When and where were you born?
I was born in 1967 in Pyatigorsk, The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
2) Why did you come to Israel?
In the community where I grew up, lived people from different religions: Jews, Christians and Muslims. Although there were not many Jews in the community, the Jewish customs and symbols among the Jewish families were large and significant part of their life.
The main reason why I wanted to immigrate to Israel was because the life in Russia was not perfect and there were riots against the Jews. So, it caused our hearts to attract\drew us stronger to our country that can give us protection and peace.
