Ukraine Census Totals in Question


(January 30, 2003)

There are 105,500 Jews living in Ukraine, according to the controversial results of Ukraine’s first post-Soviet census. The census results have already sparked controversy among minorities, including some Jewish leaders, who claim their numbers were underreported. The last Soviet population census, conducted in 1989, counted 487,300 Jews.
