I am with you 100%..I have myself very hard time understanding anybody staying in Russia after 1991.People are crying and collecting for Ukrain (especially Noguda-where were they 70-60-50-40 years ago?)-i have 1 question-WHY ARE JEWS STILL THERE??
Between the Rebbes who stayed behind you have to mention Machnovker Rebbe. He ran out of Russia in 1918 to get married in Poland to his Kallah from before the war, and came back right after the chasune because, as he said, he can not live his chasidim behind.
Unlike a lot of Twersky's , he actually cared about people.
Yep. Only explanation. The only rational thing i see that in 50's they used him as show off to the West that they have a Chasidishe Rebbe in Russia which is actually not in Gulag.
Who's the mutt?
Most people left in the CCCP 2.0.

It's a miracle he was left alive.
