Book Synopsis


Trade Review
The Russian Shorts series by Bloomsbury Academic has been enriched with another title. To the list of such comprehensive works as a brief but extremely fact rich history of Birobidzhan, or the Jewish Autonomous Region within the Russian Federation has been added… Gennady Estraikh’s History of Birobidzhan presents a rich collection of diverse facts from various sources (some of which are rather hard to access), often capable of surprising even seasoned experts in the history of Soviet Jewry in general and Birobidzhan in particular, and pointing to new directions for potential research. * The Russian Review *
