This influx has sparked a complex dialogue about the intersection of post-Soviet and Jewish identities in the Israeli context.\n\n Dual Diaspora offers a groundbreaking exploration of the cultural contributions of Russian-speaking immigrants to Israel over the past thirty years. Through the lenses of literature, cinema, and visual art, Alex Moshkin investigates how immigrants reconcile their Soviet past with their Israeli present, and what role the Russian language central to the identity of Soviet Jews in the second half of the twentieth century plays today.
