The Jewish Autonomous Oblast (Roushie: Евре́йская автоно́мная о́бласть, Yevreyskaya avtonomnaya oblast; Yiddish: ייִדישע אווטאָנאָמע געגנט, yidishe avtonome gegnt[11]) forms a federal subject o Roushie (an autonomous oblast) situatit in the Roushie Far East, borderin Khabarovsk Krai an Amur Oblast o Roushie an Heilongjiang province o Cheenae. Its admeenistrative center is Birobidzhan.
Soviet authorities establisht the autonomous oblast in 1934. It wis the result o Joseph Stalin's naitionality policy, which alloued for the Jews o the Soviet Union tae receive a territory in which tae pursue Yiddish cultural heritage athin a socialist framewirk.[12] Accordin tae the 1939 population census, 17,695 Jews lived in the region (16% o the total population). The census o 1959, taken 6 years efter Stalin's daith, revealed that the Jewish population o the JAO declined tae 14,269 persons.[13] In 2002, 2,327 Jews wur livin in the JAO (1.2% o the total population), while ethnic Roushies made up 90% o the JAO population.
