XL Report: Birobidzhan

  • 15 years ago
In 1928, Jews from across the Soviet Union traveled to the Russian Far East. They were trying to build themselves a promised land. They brought their families, set up schools and created a community there. It took years of hard work but finally they built a capital city. It’s called Birobidzhan. Find out more about Russia’s Jewish autonomous region from James Brown on RT.
