2⃣ I want to share with you the history of the founding of the capital of the Jewish Autonomous Area. The city’s history begins in 1912 when the State Duma adopted a decision to settle territories along the Amur Railway. Initially, the Tikhonkaya Station was established, named after the farmstead —Tikhonkaya Hill.
Near the station, a settlement was founded, which in 1928 was transformed into the working settlement of the Tikhonkaya Station. By 1928, 623 people lived there, with 237 scattered rural houses, and a primary school, post office and cooperative shop had been built. The Tikhonkaya settlement served as a base for receiving settlers and supplying the resettlement area.
In March 1928, a resolution was made to populate free lands in the Priamurye strip of the Far Eastern Krai with Jewish workers. The decision of the Soviet government to designate Tikhonkaya Station for a Jewish settlement was influenced by several factors.
Settlements of Jews established in small localities connected the Trans-Siberian Railway with the Amur River valley.
📌 In April 1928, the first settlers began arriving, and a total of 856 people arrived during the year. In the early years, a significant number of Jewish settlers arrived, and cooperatives began to be established: tailoring, shoemaking, and brick-making (by 1929, the first 100 000 bricks had been produced).
In the 40th issue of The Ogonyok magazine dated 30 September 1928, A. Ror published an essay titled “Traveling through Bira-Bishan” about the first 150 Jewish settlers who lived in the settlement under the leadership of L. G. Baskin.
On 10 October 1931, the settlement of Tikhonkaya was classified as a working settlement and renamed Birobidzhan.
As of 1 January 1932, the population of Birobidzhan was 1.216 men and 1.324 women.
In the early 1930s, about 1.400 Jewish immigrants arrived in Birobidzhan from abroad, including the USA, Argentina, Europe, Palestine and world’s other countries and areas. By early 1936, the population of Birobidzhan had grown to around 12.000 people.
By 1939, the city had organized railway, pedagogical, and medical schools. The regional centre began publishing newspapers - The Birobidzhan Star in Russian and Birobidzhaner Stern in Yiddish., along with The Forpost (a literary, artistic and socio-political journal) and Biro🖤bidzhan Radio was broadcasting. The State Jewish Theatre named after L. M. Kaganovich was opened, along with a museum and bus services. Birobidzhan became a major regional administrative, economic and cultural centre.

Тhe Far East

📌 Here people really earn more, get preferential mortgage rates and assistance with relocation. Acres of land for homes and businesses are not the only reasons to change your residence. The Russian Far East is a vast territory for self-realization. Investors, including foreigners, are willing to provide newcomers with jobs that pay decent wages.
Barry Adamson first came to Vladivostok in October 1997. At that time, he was managing casinos in Moscow and Kiev, and he was invited to work at the Versailles Hotel Casino in Vladivostok. Then it was like in a fairy tale: on New Year’s Eve Barry met a young lady who later became his wife. He decided to stay in Vladivostok. Originally, he is from Bolton, UK, near Manchester.
Now he runs a family business in Vladivostok — a bakery in the Five O’clock café. It’s a much more pleasant experience than working in the gambling industry. Barry loves interacting with people and also loves his food, so the café is the best place for the whole family to work.
Vladivostok is a great city — vibrant and full of young people. The sea is always nearby, no matter where you go. Barry believes that Vladivostok will always hold a special place in his heart: it’s where he met his wife Anna, got married and their son Christopher was born here too.
The only difficulty that he still faces is the Russian language, despite many years of living in Russia.🎁〰
