Your output stated; Yet while Moscow is known for many, many things, sacrificing territory — especially territory over which blood has been shed — is not on that list

while i respect you, this statement is just stupid.

i was wondering when you'd play this card. russia china natual allies against thier own citizens and the world...regional hacks like cuba and venezuela, useful idiots...you know the term, right?

russia is putting strategic planes in cuba again....we all knew these moves would come....so surprise, nothing new here at ALL.

TJ,this piece completely ignores Korea and the facts on the land.

Koreans are flooding the Russian Far East, as are Chinese - it is more likely that the area would be a melting pot of Jews Russians Koreans and Chinese. (Yes Stalin dedicated part of the area as a "new homeland for the Jews - the Jewish Autonomous District with Birobidzan as it's capital and Khabarovsk the main city on the Amur)

The area is a wast wasteland in many respects with very fertile lands - great to grow row crops and lower food prices world wide <GGG> (BTW was invted to visit there )

The Birobidzhan Jewish National University works in cooperation with the local religious community. The university is unique in the Russian Far East. The basis of the training course is study of the Hebrew language, history and classic Jewish texts.[10] The town now boasts several state-run schools that teach Yiddish, as well as an Anglo-Yiddish faculty at its higher education college, a Yiddish school for religious instruction and a kindergarten.

A documentary film, L'Chayim, Comrade Stalin![13] on Stalin's creation of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and its partial settlement by thousands of Russian and Yiddish-speaking Jews was released in 2003. As well as relating the history of the creation of the proposed Jewish homeland, the film features scenes of life in contemporary Birobidzhan and interviews with Jewish residents.
