Abstract
Russian-language Press and Immigrant Community in Israel Narspy ZILBERG and Elazar LESHEM As the community of new immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union rapidly grew to more than half a million people in the 1990s, more than 50 Russian-language periodicals appeared on the market. No other non-Hebrew-speaking language group has yielded such a large variety of periodicals. The independent immigrant press is a factor of consolidation of different immigrant groups into the wider community of ex-Soviet Jews in Israel, based on common identity, language and culture. The press maintains a complex balance between local ethnic and national activities and identification.
