Russian Jews have been moving to Israel since the late 1800s early 1900s since before the Soviet Union was around and before Israel was even a country. But in mass, Russian Jews moved to Israel in the 1970s and late 1980s when the Soviet Union opened up its boarders to Jews wishing to reunite with family in Israel. After the fall of the Soviet Union many Jews moved to Israel as well, but on a slightly smaller scale at that point.
