    Russian immigrants faced religious persecution and restrictions in Russia. They settled in major US cities like New York, Chicago, and Boston for religious freedom, the ability to choose their leaders, own land, and improve their social status. However, some faced discrimination or were not accepted if they supported communism. Russian culture contributed words like babushka and vodka to American English. Famous Russian Americans include composer Igor Stravinsky and actress Natalie Wood.
