Berta and Vilna are married Israeli couples of Russian origin, who immigrated to Israel in October 2022. They met Alexey two months before immigrating to Israel, as part of a volunteer activity with children with special needs.

Alexey asked to enter Israel to visit them, but his entry was refused, because he was afraid of forced conscription into the Russian army. Polyamory is completely legal in Israel and the world, and is significantly different from bigamy or polygamy, which is prohibited in Israeli criminal law.
