Huh? Russia's Jews mainly came from its share in the partition of Poland.
Sephardic Jews -- those who trace their origins to expulsion from the Spanish in 1492 -- mainly ended up in the Middle East. Some key groups ended up in the New World and in Western Europe -- but virtually none in Russia AFAIK.
