Bat Yam: Perbedaan antara revisi

 

===Recent history===

Bat Yam once again experienced a period of rapid growth early 1990s with the mass-immigration from the former [[Soviet Union]] leading to many choosing Bat Yam as their new home due to its proximity to the industrial centres of the country, and relatively low [[real estate]] prices. The influx of Russians and Georgians, however, did nothing to help the city's socio-economic crisis, and by the early 2000s, following financial scandals resulting from the declining local leadership led by [[Yehoshua Saguy]], the city was placed at the brink of bankruptcy.
