Jewish Autonomous Oblast - Russia

Jewish Autonomous Oblast is in the Russian subdivision system the only autonomous oblast, an regular oblast is an kind of province which are controlled from Russia directly. Because there is was historically an Jewish majority in the oblast to give the area more autonomy. Lenin's plans to give every nationality an territory of it's own to keep maintain their own cultural autonomy in a socialist system. Stalin continued the plans in 1928 and in the remote inhospitable area in the Russian Far East to give the Jews an place to live. Also attract some population near an weak border with the then Japanese puppet-state Manchuria. Many Jews moved over here and even disappointed Jews to try get an living in Palestine came to the remote corner of the Soviet-Union. Then Stalin starts his purge in the early 30s and it hits the JAO, many Jewish leaders arrested and prosecuted, Jewish schools closed and tried to fade out the Jewish culture. The experiment failed to get all the Soviet-Jews to the JAO and after World War II there was a slight revival of Jewish refugees to come to the JAO. Eventually the formation of Israel was the last drop and almost every Jew went there. Nowadays there are around 162 thousand people living there and only 1% is Jew, 93% is Russian, 3% is Ukrainian and rest are different people groups. Despite everything there are still bilingual services, side note Yiddish is still taught on some schools. The JAO is nowadays acting merely as an normal oblast and use of Birobidzhan as name for the area is more popular. Birobidzhan is also the capital and named after the rivers Biro and Bidzhan, 5% of the population around 73 thousand is Jew. The city has an trainstation on the famous Trans-Siberian Railway. So let's take an look at flag.

The flag has an white background with an rainbow of colors as horizontal stripes. The white color symbolize purity. The rainbow is an biblical symbol of peace, goodness and happiness. It take God to create the world in 7 days. The 7 bands has to with the Menorah, the Jewish lamp stand with 7 candles and the Seven Laws of Noah. 

The laws are:

Not to worship idols.

Not to curse God.

To establish courts of justice.

Not to commit murder.

Not to commit adultery, bestiality, or sexual immorality.

Not to steal.

Not to eat flesh torn from a living animal.

So we have some biblical reminders with this flag, maybe slightly thicker bands on the flag.
