--- Anti-Semitism in Russia is way, way, way down on the list of problems. Jews in Russia have to put up with the occasional off-color joke or racist slur. Caucasians have to worry about getting the crap beaten out of them. The violence is almost all directed at the chyorniye, not Jews.

Russia's chief rabbi recently issued a declaration to the effect that the situation of Jews in Russia is better than it has ever been.
