This paper presents the results of a survey conducted in 2008 to examine the cultural practices and preferences of ‘Russian’ youth in Israel. Data was collected via structured questionnaires (187) and semi-structured in-depth interviews (21). Respondents were aged 16–24 and represented both the youth born in Israel to immigrant parents and those who immigrated before the age of 12. The results suggest that the cultural integration of ‘Russian’ youth in Israel does not follow a linear process. There is a large group of youngsters who choose to preserve their mixed or Russian cultural identity (e.g. in social networking, music tastes and entertainment) for reasons other than Hebrew language difficulties.
