Over the past two centuries there have been several waves of massive departure of Russian Jews from Russia. The Jewish population constituted eighty percent of the emigrants who left the Soviet Union in 1971–1986. After 1990 (mass Aliyah 1990–1991) a generation of “sixty–thousanders”, mainly consisting of intellectuals and people with a cultural occupation, left Russia. There are a lot of outstanding Russian-speaking artists of the 20th century who lived in the west or in Israel, among others: Fridrich Gorensztejn, Sergei Dowlatov, Vasily Aksionov, Vladimir Wojnowicz, Zinowy Zinik, Grigory Kanowicz, Igor Guberman, Dina Rubina, Jefim Etkind and many others. At present Russian-language literary works of the generation born in the 1970s are developing dynamically in Israel.
