 Jewish Autonomous Oblast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The history of colonization of the territory of the Jewish Autonomous Region is closely connected with that of the lands along the Amur River.
By the 1930s the Jewish National District was promoted to the status of an Autonomous Region and a massive propaganda campaign was underway to induce more Jewish settlers to move there.
In 1991, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast was transferred from under the jurisdiction of Khabarovsk Krai to the jurisdiction of the Federation, but by that time most of the Jews had gone and the remaining Jews now constituted less than two percent of the local population.

 Endangered Languages of Siberia - The Koryak language
Lexically the Koryak language is close to the Chukchi language, dialects of the settled Koryak, mainly the Palana dialects are close in their vocabulary with the Alutor language, which is sometimes considered to be a dialect of the Koryak language.
The Koryak language nowadays functions as the language of oral communication between representatives of the elder and middle generations, the command of the language in the younger generation is not high.
The Koryak language is considered intelligible for the Chukchi living in the Bering region of the Chukchi Autonomous Region, whereas the Kerek language is not intelligible for the Chukchi, so the Kerek spoke the Chukchi language with the Chukchi.

 Koryak Historical Notes
Koryaks are an indigenous north-east Asian people living on the northern part of the Kamchatka peninsula and surrounding mainland in what is now the Russian Federation.
After World War II the autonomous regions created for groups like the Koryak were subordinated to neighboring provinces, and thus the Koryak Autonomous Okrug (Region) became part of the Kamchatka Province, and its counties were little differentiated from the other counties in Kamchatka Province.
Shortly thereafter Yeltsin declared the congerie of administrative territories within the Russian Federation (republics, provinces, regions, territories) to be "equal subjects of the Federation." Now the Koryak Autonomous Region is presented with the task of creating an economic and administrative infrastructure.

Coincidentally, on the eve of the verdict, the prosecutor's office filed a criminal case against the deputy governor of the Koryak autonomous region (also in Eastern Russia), Mikhail Sokolovsky.
Both cases are clear examples of complete negligence, to say the least, on the part of regional officials elected by direct vote.
However, it is doubtful that thousands of residents of the Kamchatka region, the Koryak autonomous region, the Maritime Territory or the Ulyanovsk region, who tried to fight the cold weather with bonfires and primitive stoves, will soon believe that Moscow is able to save and protect them.

The majority of Chukchi reside within the Chukotka Autonomous Region (Russian okrug), but some also reside in the neighboring Sakha Republic to the west, Magadan Province to the southwest, and Koryak Autonomous Region to the south.
The Chukchi are traditionally divided into the Maritime Chukchi, who had settled homes on the coast and lived primarily from sea mammal hunting, and the Reindeer Chukchi, who nomadised in the inland tundra region with their herds of reindeer.
This process was ultimately destructive to the village-based economy in Chukotka, and the region has still not fully recovered.

Until recently, the Bering coast of Kamchatka was not considered as an area with a high level of tsunami risk despite the occurrence of 7.6 magnitude tsunamigenic earthquake near Ozernoy Cape in November of 1969.
That is why the evaluation of tsunami risk for the Bering coast of Kamchatka was an essential part of the project on re-estimation of the seismic hazard for the Koryak autonomous region.
Application of the conventional method of tsunamizoning, based on the straightforward stochastic evaluation of historical data, is not possible for this area due to nearly the absence of historical tsunami data.

According the regional seismotectonics, the most typical source mechanism for the earthquakes in this region is the reverse dip-slip fault with dip angle s=70╟, strike slip y = 90╟ and strike direction (azimuth) 0 = 225╟.
Altogether, we have considered six variants of the position of a tsunami source numbered from 1 to 8 and shown in Fig.2 as the projection of a fault plane to the surface.
This set of sources covers practically all area producing the potential tsunami threat to the coastal villages located at the Bering coast of the KAR (their locations are also shown in Fig.2).
