*The Russians in Israel are Russian citizens who are immigrants to Israel from Russian communities of the '''Soviet Union and post-Soviet states, and their descendants'''. Some of them are non-Jewish members of Jewish households living in Israel. A few are descended from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subbotniks '''Russian Subbotnik''' families], who have migrated to Israel over the past century. (The Subbotniks is a common name for Russian religious movements of Christian origin.) | |||
*Subbotnik communities were among early supporters of Zionism. During the First Aliyah at the end of the 19th century, thousands of Subbotniks settled in Ottoman Palestine to escape religious persecution due to their differences with the Russian Orthodox Church. Some Subbotniks had immigrated to Ottoman Palestine even prior to the First Aliyah. | |||
*People of full or partial non-Jewish ethnic Russian ancestry number around 300,000 of the Israeli population and the number of Russian passport holders living in Israel is in the hundreds of thousands.<ref>"Subbotniks", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subbotniks, accessed 11 June 2021.</ref> <ref>"Russians in Israel", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russians_in_Israel, accessed 11 June 2021.</ref> | |||
