Birobidzhan, Administrative center in Russian Far East
The city extends along both banks of the Bira River, connected by bridges and intersected by the Trans-Siberian Railway near the Chinese border.
The settlement originated in 1915 as Tikhonkaya station, later becoming the capital of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast established by Soviet authorities in 1934.
Public spaces display bilingual signs in Russian and Yiddish, while the central library maintains an extensive collection of Jewish literature and historical documents.
The transportation hub includes railway connections to major cities across Russia, with direct lines to Moscow, Vladivostok, and Khabarovsk through the Trans-Siberian network.
The city remains the administrative center of the only territory outside Israel where Yiddish holds official language status alongside Russian.
