Can anyone please provide me a history summary or links proving whether brighton beach is a Jewish Russian or Non-Jewish Russian enclave?

There is a small Russian Orthodox church in a house on Brighton First Lane so there must be non Jewish Russians around there. A Russian church is your best sign of non Jewish Russians in a given neighborhood.

Almost all the Russians in Brighton Beach are Russian Jews and not ethnic Russians.Most ethnic Russians do not consider Jews to be Russians at all

Since Brighton beach in Brooklyn is predominantly a Russian speaking jewish community, are there also any ethnic Russians and Ukrainians living in Brighton along with the Russian Jews? Many Russian jews that i met in Brighton beach insist that there community is 100% a Russian speaking jewish neighborhood and that the ethnic Russians and ethnic Ukrainians are virtually non existent to the community. I thought that after the fall of the soviet union in 1991, there was a large wave of ethnic Russians and ethnic Ukrainians moving to Brighton beach since during the soviet union in the 1970's and 1980's only jewish Russians came to Brighton beach.

Does anyone know which Russian Speakers are the majority still today in Brighton Beach? I heard that Russian Jews are still the majority of Russian Speakers currently. If Russian Jews are still the majority, are ethnic Russians and Ukrainians found these days in Brighton Beach?

Excuse me, but I hope you're not implying that Hitlerian theory that Jewish Russians are in some way lesser, non-ethnic Russians.
