>I think confusion about whether Ayn Rand is russian or not comes from the fact that in slavik countries Jews were never considered to be "russians", "ukrainians", "serbian",whatever. The anti-semitism and to some extend any anti-small-ethnic group sentiments are so deeply rooted in the slavic world that they labeled people by "nationality." And Jews who may have lived in Russia for many generations still belonged to nationality "Jews".

And not just in Slavic countries. My mother was born in Germany, as were many generations before her. But they were never considered Germans.
