Nej. Men det är knappast en hemlighet att religion var nedtryckt i USSR. Många ryska judar som kom till Israel från Ryssland när Sovjetunionen föll var oomskurna - det var helt enkelt strikt förbjudet att uttöva omskärelse, liksom många andra religiösa yttringar. Jag har en god vän som på 70-talet spenderade mycket tid på att smuggla in siddurim (böneböcker) till de judiska församlingarna i sovjet.

Jewish leaders were arrested and executed, and Yiddish schools were shut down. Further persections and purges followed.
Training of rabbis became impossible, and until the late 1980s only one Yiddish periodical was published. Hebrew, because of its identification with Zionism, was taught only in schools for diplomats. Most of the 5,000 synagogues functioning prior to the Bolshevik Revolution were closed under Stalin, and others were closed under Khrushchev. For all intents and purposes, the practice of Judaism became impossible, intensifying the desire of Jews to leave the Soviet Union.
