Well, to state the obvious... the Fiddler is the most obvious symbol.
As Tevye says, "But in our little village of Anatevka, everyone of us is a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a simple, pleasant tune without breaking his neck. It isn't easy. Why do we stay up there if it's so dangerous? I'll tell you, I don't know, but it's a tradition!"
The stories of each daughter form an allegory on the inevitable changes brought by time.
I'm not sure that there is anything symbolic in the behaviour of the Russians within the show. Though if I was forced to write a paper on it, I probably could.
