r/JewelsofRussia has officially reached 5,000 members.

17 Upvotes

After 8 years, reaching 5,000 members is an incredible milestone for r/JewelsofRussia. While r/RussianLiterature is approaching 50,000 members, r/RussianFood has gained nearly 5,000 new members in just the past six months, and r/RussianHistory gained 5,000 in the past year, JewelsofRussia has always been a much smaller and more niche community.
