My family is Soviet Refugees and I have often identified myself as Russian-Jewish because up until very recently, no one could be arsed to tell the difference between Russia and any of the other former CCPs. I mean "Russian Jews" aren't even a thing, they didn't let is live there. But no one wants to hear "Lithuanian-Polish-Romanian-Belorussian-Ukrainian Mix", so Russian Jews it is.

All that to say that we abhor Russia, wish death to Putin and destruction of every last lingering bit of the Soviet Union, and we live our daily lives speaking Russian. It's our native language, partly because (like many other countries) The Soviet Union recognized Jews as a race for discriminatory purposes, but never gave us our own homeland like everyone else (except for one abortive effort that was clearly doomed to fail from the start), so no language to nationalize with. On top of that, we were moved around so much we couldn't attach to any language other than the lingua franca of the Empire: Russian.

So yeah, the language can be separated from the country for very many reasons.

Russian jews are sort of a thing though. My grand-grandfather was born near Tver' (always been Russian territory). How? Fuck if I know. Probably he was wealthy. And my Jewish part of the family lived in Central Russian through all the soviet rule. And most community I always had indefinited as Russian Jews. So it can be a thing. Does not excuse the whole Empire history and Soviet history of antisemitism of course
