Jewish Autonomous Oblast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1911 words)
The Jewish Autonomous Oblast (Russian: Евре́йская автоно́мная о́бласть, Yevreyskaya avtonomnaya oblast; formerly Jewish Autonomous Republic) is situated in the Far Eastern federal district of Russia, bordering China.
The history of settlement of the territory of the Jewish Autonomous Region is closely connected with that of the lands along the Amur River.
In 1991, the Jewish Autonomous Region was elevated to the status of an Autonomous Republic, but by that time most of the Jews had gone and the remaining Jews now constituted less than two percent of the local population.
