I'm beginning to wonder if the Jewish state shouldn't be transferred from the Middle East to the Exclave.

My thoughts exactly   This is what Stalin should have done in 1945. These East European Jews would feel much more at home in Kaliningrad, with a familiar climate and benign Slavic neighbours. Remember many of them are descendants of Khazar converts who are native to East Europe, not the Middle East.

It's more to do with the youth are, how to say, looking for a new king and they think that just by adopting western democracy (which has stopped working effectively I'd like to add) they can magically make the country rich and life in Russia will just be like Friends on the TV.

You need to go through a consumerist phase before you start "awakening" in the way Americans did in the 1960s/70s.

But I wouldn't say New Age wasn't known in Russia, AFAIK there were plenty of cults there.
