Who and when
Bukharan (Persian) Jews appear to have arrived in the region earlier than other groups, but the source presents this as an assumption rather than an established fact. 1
After 1867 so-called Nikolayev soldier families - discharged soldiers of Jewish origin - settled in Verny. 1
The community in Verny
In May 1884 the Verny synagogue was housed in a wooden building. A prayer society was registered in 1908. 1
