Analysis of information on Soviet Jewish immigration to the United States reveals the following: (1) the strongest motivation for emigration was anti-semitism, followed by a desire to secure one's children's future, opposition to or dissatisfaction with the political and economic system, the desire to join one's family, and the belief that there is no solution to the Jewish problem in the Soviet Union; (2) the three types of Soviet Jews who emigrated were those living in the Western borderlands, those living in the Slavic "heartland," and those from Georgia and Central Asia; (3) the main difficulties they have encountered in the United States have been culture shock, finding suitable employment, lack of understanding about how the American democratic system works, difficulties in acquiring professional acceptance, and adjustment of young people to the academic and social demands of American high schools; (4) Soviet Jewish immigrants strongly and positively identify as Jews; and (5) as a whole, the Soviet immigrants are making a good adjustment.
