Back when the USSR was banning Jews from observing their religion, there was a mass exodus of Russians to Israel and the USA etc. I think it ws the 1970's. This peaked in the 1990's when the USSR disintegrated,about half a mill Soviet Jews and their relatives left the USSR.

They made a great documentary about it:
An American Tail
Stupid Russian “cats”! Don’t worry, there are no cats in America!
It’d be interesting to find out what they were getting at with the rats in disguise bit.
