The Promised Land. Red Zion. The world's first Jewish state, founded in 1934, turns out to still exist! Jews from all over the world sought to get here even before World War II; the Jews of Europe could escape the Holocaust here. We were not saved...

The area is larger than many European countries. Everything here is as the founding fathers of Zionism dreamed: their heroes and cowards, their policemen, thieves and prostitutes, executioners and victims, poets, dreamers and politicians. Here people are born, love, die and remember the dead. Jewish history is made here. Here - on the border of Russia and China, in the endless Amur taiga. The book is based on real events, the names of some characters have been changed.
