		So was the JAR a Yiddish utopia or a Jewish reservation, the documentary asks.
		Strom, nevertheless, maintains his youthful fascination with what he calls “the first Jewish state established since 70 B.C.E.” “These were pioneers who made aliyah to the end of the world,” he said.

	Stalin's Jewish Enclave In Siberia Stages Revival
		The Telegraph - UK It was surely one of Stalin's unlikeliest projects: the creation of a Jewish homeland on the far eastern marches of Siberia in an uninhabited land of forest, swamps and wild animals.
		In 1934 the Soviet leader declared the area the Jewish Autonomous Region of Birobidjan and persuaded tens of thousands of poor Jews from Ukraine and Belarus to move there as farmers.
		The idea of a Jewish homeland was inspired partly by communist dogma - which dictated that each nation should have its homeland within the greater Soviet home - and partly by fears that China might try to overrun the uninhabited area.

		In 1934 the area was officially declared the Jewish Autonomous Region – with the promise that, when Jews numbered at least 100,000 or accounted for a majority of the region’s population, it would become a Soviet republic.
		Yiddish, as the language of the secular Jewish proletariat, was an official language of the JAR, and in 1936 Stalin decreed the territory the centre of Jewish culture within the Soviet Union.
		In propaganda terms, the Jewish Autonomous Region functioned as a ‘shop window’ for everything that the Soviet Union represented for Jews, and it had to be carefully packaged as a rival to Palestine to compete for the hearts, minds and dollars of foreign – particularly American – Jewry.

		About 15 years ago, some American journalist visited there, discovered that Jewish culture there was nearly extinct, having been replaced with Communism using the Yiddish language, and a town librarian who actually pleaded for some reader in America to propose marriage to her so she could get the hell out of there.
