   OZET (Society for Land Settlement of Jewish Workers) was a public organization that existed in the USSR from 1925 to 1938, and initially aimed at settling Soviet Jews through "agrarianization".
Since February 1928, OZET curtailed its resettlement activities in the European part of the USSR and reoriented itself toward creating the Jewish Autonomous Region in the Birobidzhan region. On March 28, 1928, the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR adopted a resolution "On the assignment to KomZET of free lands in the Amur region of the Far Eastern Territory for the needs of continuous settlement of Jewish workers." On August 20, 1930, the Central Executive Committee of the RSFSR adopted a resolution "On the formation of the Biro-Bidzhansky National Region as part of the Far Eastern Territory." By the decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of May 7, 1934, the national region founded in 1930 received the status of the Jewish Autonomous Region. By 1932, out of 20,000 settlers, only 7,000 remained in the JAO.
In the 1930s, collectivization and industrialization led to an outflow of young people to the cities and a reduction in the number of Jewish peasants. During the mass repressions of 1937-1938, a significant part of the OZET leadership was destroyed. In May 1938, OZET was liquidated by a special decree of the Central Executive Committee. At the same time, cooperation with the Joint ceased[11]. In the same year, all previously created Jewish national regions and village councils were disbanded, and the Jewish schools in them were converted into Russian schools.
Of the 14,000 Jewish families settled on the land during the years of this project, a significant part returned to the cities by 1938. Most of those who remained in the countryside were killed in the Holocaust.
   ICOR The Organization for Jewish Colonization in Russia (Yiddish: ייִדישע קאָלאָניזאַציע אָרגאַניזאַציע אין רוסלאַנד, Yidishe Kolonizatsye Organizatsye in Rusland), commonly known by its transliterated acronym of ICOR, was a Communist-sponsored mass organization in North America devoted to supporting the settlement of Jews in new collective settlements, firstly in the newly established Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Southern Russia (Stavropol Krai), and latterly in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast in Siberia. The organization was founded in the United States in 1924 and soon spread to Canada.
In 1934 the original ICOR organization was supplemented by a new fundraising and solidarity organization, the American Committee for the Settlement of Jews in Birobidjan (Ambidjan). The two groups merged into a unified organization in 1946.
  A sovkhoz (Russian: совхо́з, IPA: [sɐfˈxos] ⓘ, abbreviated from советское хозяйство, sovetskoye khozyaystvo; was a form of state-owned farm in the Soviet Union
