Default Putin: "Judaism Is One of Our Traditional Religions"


"Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting with representatives of the public in Simferopol, at which he joked about the shortage of funds from the Jews for the construction of a synagogue in the capital of Crimea. The joke followed in response to the comment of the head of the Jewish community, Benjamin Volvo, and about financial problems, which is why construction of a synagogue in Simferopol is delayed. At the same time, he noted that he plans to finish construction by the end of the year. Putin was invited to her discovery. “Jews have financial problems. Only in Crimea is this possible,” the president said jokingly. The synagogue will be located on the site of the execution of the Jews in 1941."
