Project «Institutionalization of the Jewish community life in Russia at the end of the 20th - beginning of the 21th century (based on the materials of Krasnodar)».
In modern Russia, there are many Jewish organizations, both religious and secular in nature. In many ways, these organizations are the centers of the communal life of Jews in the city. The history of these associations and their continued existence was fraught with difficulties. We believe that it is important to explore the process of institutionalization of the Jewish community life in Russia in the late XX - early XXI based on the materials of Krasnodar.

Field ethnographic data, journalistic materials, as well as archival documents of Jewish organizations in Russia stored in private collections, will be analyzed. Thus, a picture of the formation and current state of Jewish life in the South of Russia will be presented.
