The Ashkenazi Jews migrated from Germany to the area of Belarus and its capital, Minsk. In the 1920's the Jews had been in Minsk for hundreds of years. Did the Jews retain their yiddish/german/jewish culture? Or did the Russian culture take over? Are the Jews of Minsk more related to Germans or Russians? Did the Jews speak yiddish and russian? or just yiddish? or just russian?

They are a mix of all. It would be impossible to classify them into one with any certainty. However, German probably takes precedence over all because you always maintain the culture of your original homeland, no matter how long ago you left. So, I hope this helps!

In 1920;Russia, a Jew could never be a Russian. By law he could only be a Jew.
