====Russian (and other former Soviet) American==== {{see also|Russian Americans in New York City}} [[Fair Lawn, New Jersey|Fair Lawn]], [[Tenafly, New Jersey|Tenafly]], [[Alpine, New Jersey|Alpine]], and Fort Lee are hubs for [[Russian Americans]], including a growing community of [[Russian Jews]].<ref>[http://www.epodunk.com/ancestry/Russian.html Russian Ancestry by City.], [[EPodunk]]. Accessed April 6, 2007.</ref> [[Garfield, New Jersey|Garfield]] is home to an architecturally prominent [[Russian Orthodox Church|Russian Orthodox]] church.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://3saints.com/|title=Moscow Patriarchate, Patriarchal Parish in the USA|publisher=Russian Orthodox Church of Three Saints, Garfield, NJ|access-date=October 12, 2013}}</ref> Likewise, [[Ukrainian American]]s, [[Georgian American]]s, and [[Uzbek American]]s have more recently followed the path of their Russian American predecessors to Bergen County, particularly to Fair Lawn. The size of Fair Lawn's Russian American presence has prompted an [[April Fool's]] satire titled, "[[Vladimir Putin|Putin]] Moves Against Fair Lawn".<ref>Rooney, Matt. [http://savejersey.com/2014/04/putin-russia-invasion-new-jersey-christie/ "Putin Moves Against Fair Lawn"], Save Jersey, April 1, 2014. Accessed May 30, 2016. "In a move certain to carry dire geopolitical consequences for the world, the Russian Federation has moved troops into the 32,000-person borough of Fair Lawn, New Jersey, only days after annexing Crimea and strengthening its troop positions along the Ukrainian border."</ref> The [[Armenian American]] population in Bergen is dispersed throughout the county, but its most significant concentration is in the southeastern towns near the George Washington Bridge. The victims of the [[Armenian genocide]] are recognized annually at the [[Bergen County Court House|Bergen County Courthouse]] in Hackensack.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.armenianweekly.com/2013/05/10/april-24-observed-at-bergen-county-courthouse/|title=April 24 Observed at Bergen County Courthouse|publisher=TheArmenianWeekly β Hairenik Association|date=May 10, 2013|access-date=July 22, 2014}}</ref>
