sued on the subject of
Birobidzhan, as well as to

Thereupon, Dr. Kagedan
presented the facts regarding
the Soviet-proclaimed
"Jewish region." He wrote a
revealing expose of the exag-
gerated "state." Hopefully,
the Kagedan revelations will
find the audience necessary
for an emphasis on truth. An
authority on the Russian-
Jewish confrontations, Dr.
Kagedan, in his capacity as
the expert who is doing re-
search on the subject as a
staff member of the American
Jewish Committee, renders
an important service with his
fact-finding on Birobidzhan.
His factual statement de-
clares:
The Soviet regime
created Birobidzhan on
May 7, 1934 to substitute
for a partially successful
program of colonizing
Soviet Jews in the south
Ukraine and the Crimea.
Funded by American
Jews, the program of set-
tling Jews generated
enthusiasm in the Soviet
Jewish community and led
leaders of the community
to call for the founding of
the Jewish Soviet Socialist
Republic.
Stalin and other Soviet
leaders were troubled by
this demand for recogni-
tion of Jewish rights that
they decided to derail the
program and direct the
settlement to the remote
and forbidding Birobid-
zhan. By granting land to
the Jews in this Far East-
ern area, Stalin hoped to
dampen Jewish interest in
ethnic rights. Few Jews
would journey to this dis- .
tant sparsely populated
region, which had little ar-
able land, uneven precipi-
tation and was located on
the tense border with
China.
By attracting few Jews,
Birobidzhan could serve as
a public relations ploy,
and garner Western sym-
pathy for the Soviet Union,
but would not require the
Soviet government to grant
political rights to the Jews.
Stalin's tactic succeeded.
In population' terms,
Birobidzhan has never
been a Jewish region. The
Jewish population of the
region has never exceeded
10 percent of the total
population and, according
to the 1979 Soviet census,
only 5 percent of Birobid-
zhan's residents today are
Jews.
A fleeting attempt to re-
build cultural institutions
in the Jewish region , after
World War II collapsed
when again personnel
were arrested, imprisoned
and in' some cases exe-
