In March 2020, at the very beginning of the kovid pandemic, filmmaker Boris Mafzir conducted a series of online interviews with Israelis who emigrated from the Soviet Union in its final year.

And how did the «fifth point» — the nationality column — define and subordinate the entire social, professional and personal life of Soviet Jews? From these conversations, from the analysis of chronicles and newspapers, the story of the last generation of Soviet Jews is woven together — and the environment in which they had to live becomes clear.
