#3 i dont think are more than a handful of Jews left in the autonomous region
brief history - Stalin, while preferring that Jews assimilate, secularize, and become red, was willing to offer an autonous region as a substitute for Zionism. Trying to kill 2 birds with one stone, he put it on the Chinese border near Vladivostok, hoping to build the population. Not more than i think about 20,000 ever went to this isolated outpost, and the population was always mainly non-Jewish. As Stalin became more antisemitic, the autonomous district moved to the back burner, and became just another Soviet backwater. IIUC some have left in recent years for greenere pastures, both in Russia and abroad.

Sending Cossacks there has little to do with the Jews, I think.
