P!nk (Alecia Moore) — musician with roots in the Russian Empire

Tracing the roots — Lithuania (Russian Empire)
Her mother Judy Moore is Jewish, and P!nk explicitly self-identifies as an 'Irish-German-Lithuanian Jew.' Her Lithuanian Jewish ancestors emigrated when Lithuania was entirely a territory of the Russian Empire — making her a direct descendant of the Russian Empire's Jewish Pale of Settlement communities. Her Russian Imperial heritage flows through her mother's Lithuanian Jewish family.
Media pieces on her heritage mention Eastern European, including Russian-Jewish, roots.[web:17]
