Comedian Romanov stated that he is very grateful to Israel after obtaining citizenship.
Stand-up comedian Dmitry Romanov, who left Russia, spoke about obtaining Israeli citizenship and nearly cried. He discussed this with journalist Irina Shikhman, and a recording of their conversation is available on YouTube.
Romanov admitted that after receiving his Israeli passport, he felt a connection to this state and its people. "I am very grateful to the State of Israel for what it does for all ethnic Jews. It provides us with a place in the world where we are unconditionally loved and awaited. And that is very important. I’m going to cry now," said the comedian.
At the same time, he added that he does not live in Israel due to "a number of factors." In particular, he dislikes the very hot climate in the country.
Romanov, who was born and raised in Odessa, obtained Israeli citizenship in 2023. He confessed that after this, he felt at home. The comedian left Russia in 2022.
