About US

In the last 30 years, about 500,000 immigrants from the former Soviet Union have come to America and live here. The “Boston Globe” published that about 275,000 of them came as Jewish refugees and about 100,000 of them are religious Christian evangelistic refugees.

While over 99 percent of Russians are atheists or believe in God’s existence but do not accept any traditional religion, they practically do not have anywhere to read critical religious materials or express their opinions.

Our newspaper was founded in 1998 to fill the mentioned gap. About 500,000 Russian-speaking immigrants and about the same number of our American friends are our audience on the Internet. We publish materials in Russian and English. We found that an English edition is needed for our American friends, as each immigrant family has at least a few of them, as well as for our children who were born here or came here as young children. They cannot read Russian even if they can speak it.

A Few Words About Cheating in Schools

Editor's Note: Community Life of Immigrants in Kansas City

The first immigrants from the former Soviet Union came to Kansas City in 1974. In the former Soviet Union Jewish people, like all other people, practically did not have any community life. There were not any synagogue congregations or clubs like the Jewish Community Center. Their life was limited to a circle of family members and friends.

DOES GOD EXIST?

By Peter Shapiro, former atheist

The first time I had a chance to read the Bible was in Italy, when I stayed with my family for about two months waiting for a visa to the United States. The content of the Bible was in deep contradiction with the science that I had studied in the University back in the Soviet Union.

Technology of Future Generations

Idea of building a large flat display that can be used as a TV screen or computer monitor is not new. This idea was explored for decades

We Have a Dream...

Who are we? We are about 2500-3000 immigrants from the former Soviet Union.
The American people know that refugees from the former Soviet Union are Jewish people. Yes, it was so at the start of immigration, about 25-30 years ago. But even at the beginning, there were many mixed families with a non-Jewish husband or wife.

People Behind Inventions: Hybrid Gasoline/Electric Car

More than 20 years ago two inventors built a hybrid car. This was prior to Toyota's development of the hybrid car.

Keeping the Faith. The Religious El Dorado

This was the title of a movie that premiered earlier this year, which tells the story of two boys and a girl who were childhood friends in New York. One of the boys became an orthodox rabbi, and the other - a Roman Catholic priest. The girl became a high-powered business executive. The rabbi and priest remained friends in spite of the almost 20 centuries of animosity between believers of their religions. They even founded an interfaith club.
Both men are drawn to the girl from their childhood. The love story among the friends raises problems (an Orthodox rabbi should not marry a gentile, or he must resign as a rabbi, and a Catholic priest can't marry at all).
