Of course he did, one example of it was the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, though it was created just immediately after the Russian Civil War
After the war ended in 1945, there was renewed interest in the idea of Birobidzhan as a potential home for Jewish refugees. The Jewish population in the region peaked at around 46,000–50,000 Jews in 1948, around 25% of the entire population of the JAO.[14]
Unfortunately, it seems things went awry, in the decades following… because unhospitable geographical conditions and the USSR opposing any hint of ethnic supremacism/national chauvinism
Also to do with the reasons why it failed, was the suspicions against Zionism in the aftermath of the colonisation of Palestine. The USSR adopted an openly anti-zionist posture, and I’m guessing that doesn’t exactly help the cause of creating a Jewish autonomous oblast, even if the idea is very different from that of the Zionist project.
