Half of Russian Jews are Orthodox Christians

No kidding. I must have missed this completely and I know many so-called self described Russian Jews. I am aware that many many Russian Jews were married to non Jews. But 50%? That seems high but then again you know more about that than I do.

Many simply not consider selves Jews but only as Russians. I have 2 uncles, brothers. Both jewish by nationality (one look very armenian) both marry Russian women and since wives convert in early 90's they do too. Both simply consider selves Russian, end of story.
