I hate to quibble, but "none have converted" is a blanket statement.  
Since I don't believe that you have knowledge of every Sefardic Jew who
has lived in the Soviet Union, I will assume that you must have meant 
"fewer Sefardi than Ashkenazim converted," or something like that.  
Which is interesting, if it could be supported independently, perhaps
from Soviet censuses.  (On second thought, anyone's assertion is at 
least as reliable as a Soviet census.)

But what's it doing in net.religion.christian, anyway?  It looks like a
discussion of Jewish history and society to me.  (I know it started out
as a discussion of the Trinity, but the last few postings have left that
subject altogether.)
