According to Israeli government figures, 20,246 Russians emigrated to Israel between January and July 2022, with numbers spiking from around 700 per month in February to over 3,000 in March. By contrast, in the whole of 2019 only 15,930 Russians emigrated to Israel.
The scale of the emigration seems to have taken the Russian authorities by surprise, and may have prompted retaliation by the Kremlin.
