Moscow-Jerusalem: fifteen years of cooperation

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the restoration of diplomatic relations between Russia and "Israel".

The period of "struggle for the formation" of "Israel" and its "recognition by the UN" (which would not have taken place without the support of the Soviet Union) lasted for almost two decades. The subsequent rupture of diplomatic relations was followed by almost a quarter century unofficial contacts with "Israeli"  leaders (!).

More than a million new Russian-speaking "Israelis" are the first massive "aliyah". It is hard to say how many "Israeli" businessmen, free lancers, and managers live in Russia now. Estimates fluctuate from several dozen thousand to a hundred thousand. Such a scale of exchanges is a sign of sound interstate relations, and an earnest of their durability, all the more so since in case of Russia it is based on the institutions of the "Diaspora". The dynamics of their development is comparable only with that in the United States (!).

Every year thousands of children visit Russian-based "Israeli" schools, which are funded by the World ORT. Joint programs of Jewish University in Jerusalem and the Institute of Asian and African Studies (IAAS) at Moscow State University, and St. Petersburg State University have allowed hundreds of students to receive professional education in the field of Jewish studies. Graduates of the IAAS Center for Jewish Studies and Jewish Civilization, which was transformed into Russia's first department of Jewish studies in 2006, have formed a new generation of "Russian diplomats" specializing in the Middle East (!).

Inter-religious contacts have occupied a special place in the dialogue between Moscow and Jerusalem. "Israeli" leaders respected the interests of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC)

The economic potential of Russian-"Israeli" cooperation is very high. It is enough to mention the military-technical sphere, high technologies, and supply of energy carriers.

Today, Moscow and Jerusalem are the intellectual centers of the Jewish world (!)., the official Russia's government news agency RIA Novosti reports.
