I am a PhD student studying history at the University of Pennsylvania. My research explores the circumstances preceding and following the emigration of over 751,000 Soviet Jews from the USSR prior to its fall. Using a socio-cultural lens, I focus on Soviet Jews' expectations for life outside the Soviet Union and how these hopes aligned (or misaligned) with the realities present in their diaspora.
