While Arab citizens, Israelis of Ethiopian descent and Haredim have all had troubling and notable encounters with police, very few stories of Israelis of Russian descent (henceforth, Russians) have made similar headlines. In spite of their large size and cultural distinction, Russians’ experiences with and perceptions of police differ little from that of veteran Israelis. The stark contrast of the experiences of Russians and Ethiopians, immigrating to Israel at the same period, attests both to the stratified nature of Israel’s citizenship regime and to the differential experiences of immigrants and their ability to successfully integrate.
