"Thank you very much for your hospitality and kind attention. To Mrs. Kathy Reiser ---Izraail Rabinovich --- Houston, Nov. 6, 1990"Soviet Jewish anecdotes talked about emigration, nationality, economics and discrimination. Emigration humour was hugely popular and served to highlight both the poor standard of life for Jews in the Soviet Union and the restrictive nature of the Party in refusing many Jews exit visa's, leading to the term Refusenik. The above topics were very popular but I am more interested in the humour that Soviet Jews told about themselves. Many of these self critical anecdotes interestingly portrayed Jews as complainers, making fun of their desire to be seen as the victim. In some of these anecdotes for example, the Jew would automatically assume the role of the inferior in a confrontation like in the anecdote below.Two Jews are walking down the street when they notice two Russian men fast approaching. Khaim what are we going to do? There are two of them and we are all alone.Much has been written about the negative effects anti-Semitic humour has had on the Jewish population living within the Soviet Union. Emil Draitser believes that jokes may have forced Jews to close ranks and become isolated.[2] Indeed, in Jonathan Frankel's paper on the Anti-Zionist Press campaigns in the Brezhnev era, he explains that Jews chose isolation rather than assimilation.This would also explain why 250,000 Jews emigrated to Israel when they were given the chance in the 1970's.But despite efforts to break them, the Jewish population show remarkable resilience in the face of discrimination and a thick skin.
