Stand-up comedian and TV presenter Mikhail Shats❶, who left Russia to Israel, called a turning point for self-identification. He told about it on his page in the social network.
Such an event was the attack of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas.
"October 7, 2023 is the day I became a Jew. The day when I felt a strong connection with the people who surround me here in Israel, and with thousands of my ancestors, whom history scattered in the towns of Belarus and concentration camps in Poland," wrote Schatz❶.
He stressed that in this nation, torn by contradictions and united by traditions, he sees his own strength, sorrow and hope.
As reported by EADaily, earlier Schatz ❶ admitted that the lack of opportunity to return to his homeland, to Russia, causes sadness.
According to Schatz❶, he does not regret any decision he has made in his life, including leaving Russia. At the same time, he is sad because he cannot come to his native country.
