Summary/Abstract

This paper presents the results of a survey conducted in 2008 to examine the cultural practices and preferences of 'Russian' youth in Israel. Data was collected via structured questionnaires (187) and semi-structured in-depth interviews (21). Respondents were aged 16-24 and represented both the youth born in Israel to immigrant parents and those who immigrated before the age of 12. The results suggest that the cultural integration of 'Russian' youth in Israel does not follow a linear process. There is a large group of youngsters who choose to preserve their mixed or Russian cultural identity (e.g. in social networking, music tastes and entertainment) for reasons other than Hebrew language difficulties.

Russians' in Israel as a post-Soviet subject: implementing the civilizational repertoire / Lerner, Julia

Lerner, Julia	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication

Summary/Abstract

This article argues that the post-Soviet perspective on Russians in Israel allows a deeper understanding of this collective's extreme socio-cultural heterogeneity and opens up the meanings of its 'Russianness' often taken for granted in research literature. Empirical examples in the article trace the meanings of key cultural and sociological categories - intelligentsia and ethnicity - in the post-Soviet context, and their implementation in the Russian-Israeli field. The article stresses the potency and dominance of these categories, as well as their pragmatic usage and modification within local political and ideological contexts. The contemporary manifestation of these categories preserves the 'civilizational' aspect of Russian-Soviet identity, allowing their creative use by this diasporic group.
