Albert is making aliyah along with his son, Mikita.  He tells their story:

“Through Aliyah our family is being reunited and we see our future there in Israel. We are running away from the tough political and economic situations and looking forward for better future. You know after the conflict in the region there is no safe, promising life in Russia. Also, it takes a long time and doesn’t seem that the situation will end soon. That’s why we decided to move forward and change something around us. We left the country and were looking for a safe place until consular procedures were finished, and Georgia is the best place for that. And today we are a part of a big Aliyah.”

“I’m sure Israel is a country of opportunities. Yes, it’s engaged in daily war but looking better and more promising than other countries. My relatives are there, and I believe we will be like a big family together and will support each other better as we can be closer to each other. Israel is promising for the future generation too and I hope our expectations will be answered in the next few years.”

“This is a great work you are doing for repatriates. Attention and encouragement mean a lot to us in these difficult times. Also, the financial support from different organizations makes our Aliyah process easier and that support is a lot for people like us. We were blessed.”

“The most painful thing is always to start something from nothing. It’s difficult to start building a new life. It’s also hard to be far from part of family members, friends and good people around you…but we overcome these moments and I believe it makes us stronger.”

“Thanks to all the people engaged in this process. Keep helping and blessing other people too. Thank you again!”
