This is an off-travel area and was established by Stalin as an attempt to stimulate the population of the Soviet Far East and to appease the Zionist movement within the Soviet Union (which violates the original rules of the Soviet Union). The state’s “Jewish” status led to some peculiar Soviet Jewish art, such as the Menorah in the city centre, but it did not promote large-scale Jewish immigration-Jews accounted for only 2% (although there are some reports about this The population of the region is 16%). However, some do follow the call of Zion in Siberia, includingU.SCaliforniaMary Leder’s family, as "I lived in the Soviet Union in the Stalin era"The author of the charming memoir. Curious visitors must try watching recent documentaries, "L'Chayim" and "Comrade Stalin", which are related to the past and today of the Jewish Autonomous Region.
