This paper studies the large contingent of Soviet immigrants who came to Israel in the 90s as part of the exodus of the dismemberment of the USSR in 1989,
starting with the description of the demographic and familial aspects and housing. Secondly, here are mentioned the integration problems encountered by
newcomers in the labor market, the areas with greater success and the contributions they have brought to the Israeli academia and industry. Following are traced their cultural characteristics and the Russian and Israeli factors that enabled the creation of this new ethnic segment in Israel. Subsequently, it is explained the reaction which these immigrants have generated in other segments
of Israeli society, contributing to the increase of political instability, but also for the consolidation of democracy. Finally, concluding remarks on the subject are made,
pointing out the importance that the specificity of this wave of immigration, as well as the society that received it, had in creating this ethnic group in Israel.
