There are two kinds of antisemitism. The state sponsored one (which was a major problem in the former Soviet Union). This now doesn’t exist. As far as the other more common form, is present everywhere.

send dimitry salita to russia to patrol the subways that should curb the problem.

truth is though jews should learn to box or use other martial arts. in the early 20th century when jews were coming in droves. many younger jews had to learn to box to protect themselves on the street,. it earned them respect on the street and many golden glove fighters!
jews need to stop running. jews of russia are just as russian as any “ethnic” (e.g. xtrian) russian. many of you will say they should make aliyah, but still they will join an army and learn to fight, they wont make aliyah because mostly “ethnic” russian make aliyah. so these russian jews need to learn to fight back.
