Russia’s Birobijan falls short of an Israel -DAWN - International; December 24, 2002 WALDHEIM (Russia): While the Far Eastern region of Birobijan never became the magnet for the millions of Russian Jews Stalin intended it to be, the few Jews actually living there say they are devoted to their official homeland. The Soviet dictator intended the region, and its eponymous capital, to be an ideological rival to the Jewish homeland that was gradually taking shape in Palestine under a British mandate, as well as a means to populate an almost deserted territory that he saw at risk of being invaded by neighbouring China. But those who do live in Birobijan say they are devoted to it and do not want the region to be demoted to just another Russian territory. www.dawn.com /2002/12/24/int14.htm   (531 words)
