THE MORE THE JєωS HATE PUTIN, the more he outsmarts and humiliates them.

His latest blow to Jєωry’s plans for a no-fly zone in Syria was to beat Jєωmerica to it.

It all began with Russia’s ‘violation’ of Turkish airspace and how Turkey’s Rules of
Engagement against the Syrian military operating near the Turkish border were invalidated by the appearance of Russian jets.

On October 3rd, a Russian Su-30 loaded with bombs moved across the Turkish border south of Hatay-Yayladagi for two minutes and Turkish warplanes scrambled to intercept.

Turkey soon engaged its NATO allies, and warnings to Russia multiplied. Moscow demurred with apologies saying the incident was not intentional.

Has Putin changed the rules of the game? You bet he has.

Turkish Prime Minister Davutoglu left no one in doubt that the rules have changed with his frothing at the mouth after the incident:

“Turkey’s rules of engagement are valid for Syria, Russia, or any country. Even if it’s a bird, whatever violates Turkey’s borders, it will be confronted.”

It wasn’t.

For whereas Turkey has been shooting down Syrian aircraft as recently as May 2015, the most it did with the Russian plane was to ‘confront’ it with an ‘interception flight,’ thus suspending its rules of engagement.

Although Ankara wants to turn it all into a Nato crisis, the alliance is balking and doing no more than issuing warnings.

Has Putin tested the limits of Turkey’s rules of engagement that also apply to Nato? Yes he has.

With yet another masterstroke, Putin has established a de facto no-fly zone on Turkey’s border—at least the western border north of Aleppo—sending a clear signal to Nato not to expand their illegal, uninvited bombing zone inside sovereign Syrian territory.

Turkey’s repeated attempts, with Jєωry’s ‘blessing,’ to establish a no-fly zone against Syria in this very same area, has been usurped by Mr Putin. The master keeps on striking.

And all the hot air from Erdogan: “What’s been done to Turkey has been done to Nato. Our relations with Russia are there to see, but they will lose,” falls on deaf ears in Moscow.

PUTIN HAS MADE IT perfectly clear to all Zionist-allied parties, including Turkey and Israel, that Russia’s operations contribute to preserving Syria’s territorial integrity.

And that means not only cutting off Nato’s intentions in the north, but also cutting off Netanyahu’s free hand in southern Syria, by setting up with Israel “joint communications centers and hotlines” (not a joint command center) for purposes of “deconfliction.”

It’s de-confliction Russia’s way, which means get out of the way IsraHell.

Winner takes all in the Middle East. Once Syria and Iraq are cleared of Jєω-enabled terrorists, a Palestinian state is next on Putin’s agenda.

Heads you win…Jєωs you lose.

Jєωs love Putin and Putin loves Jєωs. Like all politicians he knows how to play the international field, he just happens to be better at it than most.

Just a year ago, Russian journalist Vladimir Yakovlev was one of Moscow's most influential media figures.

Today, he lives a quiet life in Tel Aviv and has swapped his Russian passport for an Israeli one.

Yakovlev, the founder of the respected Kommersant publishing house and the Snob magazine, belongs to a new wave of disillusioned Russian Jєωs deserting their country for the relative stability of Israel.

"The big problem with Russia, and the main reason why I left, is the fact that our value system was destroyed," he says. "Life in Russia has turned into Russian roulette. Every morning you turn the roulette wheel, you never know what is going to happen to you."

Spooked by Russia's actions in Ukraine and by the increasingly stringent punishments for anyone deemed critical of the Kremlin, Russians of Jєωιѕн descent have been fleeing in droves over the past 18 months.

Surge From Eastern Europe

According to Israeli authorities, as many as 4,685 Russian citizens relocated to Israel in 2014 -- more than double than in any of the previous 16 years.

And the trend seems to be accelerating.

The nongovernmental Jєωιѕн Agency for Israel has released figures showing a 40-percent surge in immigration to the country between January and March of this year, compared to the same period in 2014.

The study suggests that while the majority of immigrants still come from Western Europe, Russians and Ukrainians are responsible for this increase. The number of Jєωs migrating from Western Europe has remained largely the same.

Yakovlev, however, doesn't consider himself a simple immigrant. He is, in his own words, a refugee.

"People usually emigrate due to domestic circuмstances," he says. "People are now leaving because they are scared to stay where they would like to live. They are running from Russia."

Zeyev Khanin, an official at Israel's Immigrant Absorption Ministry, says the average Russian immigrant has changed dramatically since the last mass exodus of Jєωs from Russia ebbed in the late 1990s.

He says newcomers from Russia are significantly younger, more educated, and, as a rule, hail from Moscow or St. Petersburg.

"The average education level is on the rise and the number of people with degrees in humanities has increased massively," he tells RFE/RL. "Today's repatriates are mostly the creative intelligentsia."

Mikhail Kaluzhsky was among the 4,685 Russians who moved to Israel last year.

A journalist and playwright from Moscow, he is typical of the new wave of Russian immigrants described by Khanin.

Kaluzhsky says his decision to leave Russia is "directly linked to politics."

In January 2014, he traveled to Ukraine to witness the Maidan pro-democracy protests that toppled Russia-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych.

He says the unwavering determination of Maidan protesters left a deep impression on him, together with an uncomfortable realization that Russian antigovernment activists lag far behind their Ukrainian counterparts.

"I understood that our protests were worthless," he says. "After the Bolotnaya protests [in Moscow in 2012] in our country, demonstrators went to the restaurant. Activists on Maidan did not go anywhere, they stayed until victory."

Then, Kaluzhsky lost his job with the Sakharov human rights organization as a result of Russia's new "foreign agent" law.

The controversial law, signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2012, forces NGOs that receive foreign funding and are deemed to carry out political activities to register as "foreign agents."

"The center's financial situation deteriorated as soon as talk about foreign agents started in Russia," says Kaluzhsky. "Western foundations said they could no longer fund initiatives that may be shut down tomorrow."

In fall 2014, the Sakharov Center was forced to scrap its theater projects, to which Kaluzhsky had actively contributed.

Crimea Seizure

Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine was the last straw.

"After Crimea, our family decided to distance itself from all of this, most of all from the government," he says.​

The Kaluzhskys now live in the outskirts of Tel Aviv. Their son attends a local Jєωιѕн pre-school and already speaks good Hebrew.

They have sold all their belonging in Russia and do not plan to return.

Vladimir Yakovlev, too, sees his future in Israel.

He and his wife have settled in downtown Tel Aviv, in a bright flat with a balcony full of flowers.

Most of their friends are other Russian intellectuals, and many of these friendships date back from their life in Moscow.

Yakovlev says Israel offers the best of both worlds -- a sunny, friendly climate and the same circle of liberal, educated Muscovites that surrounded him in Russia.

"My group of friends here is almost the same as I had in Moscow," he says. "We live in the same house as friends from Moscow, and I keep meeting people in the streets whom I regularly spent time with in Moscow."
 
"No one," he adds, "should be forced to spend their life dealing with this Russian nonsense."
