The Sausage Aliyah I

A small family unit that immigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union (USSR) in the 1990s, developed the self-deprecating nickname for the post-Soviet aliyah - "the sausage Aliyah". This immigration was "for a better life" - ''За лучшей жизнью", A type of life better than before, where material deprivation surrounded them on all sides and a life in a survivalist reality that was destined to end with their immigration.
Cultural wealth was wrapped in stuttering and accentuation, in conflict with the idea of ​​proper social representation and an excessive sense of sublimity. Visibility and the need to be seen in a new society with pomp and splendor reshaped the image of the "Russian" in Israel.
