Brooklyn is also home to many [[Russians]] and [[Ukrainians]], who are mainly concentrated in the areas of [[Brighton Beach, Brooklyn|Brighton Beach]] and [[Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn|Sheepshead Bay]]. Brighton Beach features many Russian and Ukrainian businesses and has been nicknamed ''[[Russian Americans in New York City#Russiantownscape|Little Russia]]'' and ''Little [[Odessa]]'', respectively. In the 1970s, [[Soviet Jewry Movement|Soviet Jews won the right to immigrate]], and many ended up in Brighton Beach. In recent years, the non-Jewish Russian and Ukrainian communities of Brighton Beach have grown, and the area is now home to a diverse collection of immigrants from across the [[Post-Soviet States|former USSR]]. Smaller concentrations of Russian and Ukrainian Americans are scattered elsewhere in south Brooklyn, including Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Homecrest, Coney Island, and [[Mill Basin, Brooklyn|Mill Basin]]. A growing community of [[Uzbek Americans]] have settled alongside them in recent years due to their ability to speak [[Russian language|Russian]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kordunsky |first1=Anna |title=Changing Face of Brighton Beach |url=https://forward.com/news/162963/changing-face-of-brighton-beach/ |website=Forward |date=September 17, 2012 |access-date=August 16, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Lopez |first1=Joseph |title=Inside the Brooklyn Uzbek Community |url=https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/11/isis-brooklyn-uzbeks.html |website=NY Magazine |date=November 5, 2015 |access-date=August 16, 2021}}</ref>
