Koryak: Bibliographical guide (833 words) |
 | Koryak is spoken in the northern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula and in some adjacent territories: at the coast of the Bering Sea (the Navarin Cape being the Southern border of their traditional location), the Parapol valley and the basin of the river Penzhina. |
| The geographical borders of the Koryak autonomous area are as follows: the mountain ranges of Pal-Pal and Russkiy ("Russian") in the north, the river of Gizhiga and the Omolon-Kolyma watershed in the west, the rivers of Icha and Khaylyul in the south, and the cost of the Bering Sea in the east. |
| The Koryak autonomous area includes four districts: Tigil (the administrative center is the village of Tigil), Penjina (the administrative center is Kamenskoye), Olutor (the administrative center is the village of Tilichiki) and Karagin (the administrative center is the village of Karaga). |
| Jewish Autonomous Oblast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2032 words) |
| 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. |
