Meyer's plans to build on the high bank of the Bira were frustrated by the Red Army that was stationed there for many years. Of Meyer's design for the left bank many buildings are still situated on the planned location, but as a whole only the street from the station to the Palace of Culture is recognisable.
The Jewish
Autonomous Region was a debacle. In the late thirties the anti-Semite Stalin
sent many of the Jewish emigre's to the camps. Nowadays there is only a small
but active Jewish community in Birobidzhan.
