List of Jews born in the Russian Empireand the Soviet Union

This List of Jews contains individuals who, in accordance with Wikipedia's verifiability andno original research policies, have been identified as Jews by reliable sources.

The following is a list of Jews born in the territory of the former Russian Empire. It is geographically defined, so it alsoincludes people born after the dissolution of the Russian Empire in 1922 and its successor the Soviet Union in 1991.

A few years before The Holocaust, the Jewish population of the Soviet Union (excluding Western Ukraine and theBaltic states that were not part of the Soviet Union then) stood at over 5 million, most of whom were Ashkenazic asopposed to Sephardic, with some Karaite minorities. It is estimated that more than half died directly as a result of theShoah. Many more emigrated to Israel, USA, Argentina, and Germany. Russia and Ukraine still have among the largerJewish populations in the world today (440,000 in Russia; 300,000 in Ukraine).
