Dear Friend, As our Russian-speaking immigrant community grows, there is an urgent need for reliable, scientific information about our community. It is important to know how many of us there are, what we hope for, what we believe in, how we act, whom we vote for and what we debate. The answers to these and other questions are sought by Russian Jewish immigrants, local civic leaders, media, other organization!
s and affiliated agencies that deal with immigrants. They have reached a "critical mass,"
opening the possibility for a sharp rise in institutional and social growth. That is why the Research Institute for New Americans (RINA) –
an independent institution devoted to collecting, analyzing and publishing reliable,
scientific information about Russian-speaking immigrants has been established in 1998.
