In Russia, Jewish identity is often viewed as a nationality due to historical factors, including the long-standing presence of Jewish communities and the influence of the Soviet regime, which categorized Jews as a distinct ethnic group. This perspective emphasizes cultural, linguistic, and historical ties rather than solely religious beliefs. Additionally, the 1939 Soviet census recognized Jews as a nationality, further solidifying this classification. Consequently, many Jews in Russia identify with their ethnic heritage while also practicing their religion.
