Countries that speak Russian as major or minor language will be counted. NOTE: In parentheses the (official) means Russian is officially spoken in that certain state/province.
My understanding is that many Russian Jews came to Israel before and after it became a country, so there are many Russian speakers there. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Mostly after, there were actually a lot of protests in the USSR when many ethnic Jews weren't allowed to leave the country even though they were approved by Israel
