’If Aysors lived in the Volga and suffered from hunger, they would have left that place and reached India. Because Aysors are a great nation’’. |
| - Shklovski |
The Assyrians, uprooted from their historic home, took shelter in the territory of Russia. There they built their new life and shared all the misfortunes of the local people, and more.
Today, at the dawn of the 21st century, after two world wars, the socialist revolution and the collapse of the Soviet Union, there is a big Assyrian Community living in the different cities and regions of this huge country - Russia. |
