Russian religious emigration to Palestine. Christian sects (late XIX - early XX centuries)
In Russia, emigration, as such, has not received any significant spread for a long time. At the end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th century, Russia entered the migration movement, but, at the same time, until the end of the XIX century emigration was a rare, single phenomenon. Since the 1890s, representatives of the Russian and Ukrainian peasantry have joined the general emigration flow. A significant share of the Russian emigration flow was religious and sectarian emigration. For Russian emigrants, Palestine was not attractive. Nevertheless, since the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX century, the migration flow of Russians to Palestine has been increasing. This article is devoted to Russian Christian sectarians who migrated to Palestine after the 1917 revolution, the reasons for their departure, the analysis of the difficulties they faced and their decision to leave Israel.
