Annotation The research is devoted to the analysis of formation and transformation processes of the Jewish identity in the territory of the Russian state. The authors prove the point of view according to which the Russian Jews represent the ethnic group which is in a separation from the Jewish communal life in Diaspora that has become a reason of depreciation or loss of traditional symbols of their identity. According to the authors, in these conditions the function of historical memory is performed by the formation of myths, presented by the intra group Jewish myth and the external myth, as a rule, to anti-Semitic orientation. In the article it is stated that in Russia the Jewish identity developed under the influence of the external myth about «pale of settlement», used as a regulator of collective memory. However, maintaining the Jewish identity has become possible thanks to the intra group myth, proceeding from the aspiration to keep itself as the «Russian», «Soviet», «Russian» Jews
Key words Jewish identity; Russian Jews; Diaspora; Jewish myths; anti-Jewish myths; Soviet Jews; myth about Israel; Russian state; policy; historical memory function
