Introduction. The article is devoted to the analysis of the Chinese historical memory of World War II, current trends in reassessing the role of the war in the history of China, and the participation of China and the Soviet Union in it (the history of the 88th separate rifle brigade of the Far Eastern Front was used as a case study). Methods and materials. For the collection of material on the 88th brigade, the author made a research trip to the …
China's Policy in the Black Sea Region: Between Global and Regional Interests
The article focuses on China’s policy in the Black Sea region. In particular, it shows how it is implemented under the influence of factors reorganizing the global system of international relations, as well as regional interests associated with the promotion of, first of all, the economic positions of the PRC. It is also important that the formation of Beijing’s Black Sea policy is influenced by interaction with Russia, which is a key player in t…
A view from China on Soviet aid during World War II: The case of the 88th rifle brigade of the Far Eastern front
The article examines the perception in China of cooperation with the Soviet Union during World War II (including the defeat of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the liberation of Manchuria in August-September 1945) in the context of the policy of historical memory (as understood by Assmann and Halbwachs). As a case for examining the historical memory of these events taking shape in China, the reflection in Chinese sources of the history of the 88th …
China’s Activity in Central Asia in Light of Russian Interests
The article analyzes China’s goals, presence, and expansion in Central Asia in the spheres of trade, investment, education, and the military, comparing it to Russia’s. Chinese influence poses some challenges to Russian interests but is preferable to U.S. or Western European influence. Hence it is in Russia’s interest not to push China out of the region, but to continue mutually-beneficial cooperation with it, specifically within the Greater Euras…
Beware of How you Walk on a Rocky Path
The article analyzes differences in the outcome of similar reforms undertaken by the USSR and China in the 1980-1990s. Whereas in the Soviet Union they led to the country’s collapse, China managed to overcome an acute political crisis in 1989 and achieve rapid economic growth. The authors analyze the different initial conditions of the reforms, which predetermined their nature and focus and produced different intermediate results. Center-region r…
Between Cooperation and Alarmism: Problems of Common History Interpretation in Russia and China
Almost all key events of the common past are assessed differently in Russia and China. Political expediency in their interstate relations has almost always “outpaced” real understanding and adaptation of historical experience, and both governments prefer to becloud inconvenient aspects of common history. Yet internal factors are heightening nationalism in both countries, sometimes leading to alarmism
Problems of Development of East-West International Transport Corridors in the Caspian Region
The article is dedicated to the problems of development of international transport corridors in Caspian region as a part of transcontinental logistic routes between east and west of Eurasia (primarily, between China and European market for Chinese goods). During last thirty years there has been a wide discussion of such corridors as an alternative for the routes via Russia. Since 2022, one can witness the activization of such process. The aim of …
New Approaches of Beijing to the Historiography of People’s Republic of China and Communist Party of China: ‘Rectification of Names’ during Xi Jinping Era
The article analyzes the trends in China’s political discourse on the eve of the 20 th Congress of the Communist Party of China (autumn 2022) regarding the official historiography of the last hundred years. The conclusion is made that to strengthen Xi Jinping’s position as a national leader, (which includes the legitimacy of extending his mandate for more than two five-year terms), the period of “Reforms and Opening Policy (1980–2010s)” had been …
China and the Crisis of the European Security System
Sinophobia in the Post-Soviet Space
A team of authors representing various countries of the Eurasian Economic Union analyzed anti-Chinese protests that took place in the 2010s in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan-EAEU countries that are China's partners in implementing the Belt and Road Initiative. Based on empirical data concerning anti-Chinese protests, the paper examines the reaction of the authorities, public and expert discussion on the causes and further development of the s…
Chinese Technology Transfer to Local Farmers in the Russian Far East
The availability of large areas of uncultivated land in the Russian Far East (RFE) and the close proximity of millions of skilled, landless farmers in northeastern China has created an opportunity for cooperation in developing the eastern frontier of Russia with Chinese technology. Some Russian scientists claim that there is no advanced technology used in Chinese cultivation. Chinese scientists believe that Russian agricultural technology and gen…
Perceived Differences: Chinese and Russian Farmers on Business, Law, Management, and Environment
The People's Republic of China has been following a strategy for several decades to encourage its enterprises to invest overseas. Since the liberalization of the Sino-Soviet border in the 1990s, Chinese farmers have been actively engaged in the economy of the Russian Far East (RFE). This article examines Chinese and Russian public relations messages broadcast by media about Chinese-Russian agricultural cooperation that use different arguments, me…
Sino-Russian Cooperation on Soybean Development in the Russian Far East
Commercial conflict has limited American soy exports to the biggest market, China, providing Russian farmers an opportunity to enter the Chinese market. The Russian Ministry of Agriculture and the Russian Soybean Union have established a program to promote soybean production and processing. Chinese farmers in the Russian Far East (RFE) and high profits from soybean production make new opportunities and challenges for local farmers. We analyze how…
How Chinese Agricultural Immigrants Affect Farmers in the Russian Far East
China's international position as a net creditor nation provides it with foreign exchange that it has invested in Asian and African countries. One example is China's investment in the Russian Far East (RFE). Thousands of Chinese agricultural workers have migrated to the RFE in recent decades. They are often welcomed by Russian farmers who face a labor shortage and by local residents who can buy cheap vegetables from them, but there are others who…
Chinese Migrant Farmers in the Russian Far East: Impact on Rural Labor Markets
The close proximity of China and Russia, the activities of Chinese farmers, and the reduction in Russian labor resources have created job opportunities for Chinese workers in the Russian Far East (RFE). Chinese workers fill a labor shortage in agriculture, but little research has been done on them. We developed an econometric model to test the effects of Chinese intermittent migration on labor markets in the RFE. We found the proximity of Chinese…
Chinese Farmers in the Russian Far East and Local Rural Development
The Russian Far East (RFE) is still a backward region of Russia. Per capita agricultural output is lower than the national average. Chinese agricultural entrepreneurs are farming in the region. The business environment is challenging for both Chinese and Russians. We analyze possible ways for agriculture to develop in the RFE with Chinese agricultural entrepreneurs as the main agents of development. We discuss the investment environment in the RF…
Impact of Chinese Agribusiness Entrepreneurs on the Local Land Market in the Russian Far East
Chinese originally migrated to the Russian Far East (RFE) to fill a labor shortage on collective farms. In more recent decades, some Chinese migrants have chosen to lease land from Russian farmers to manage their own farms. Rising soybean prices and the trade war between China and the United States have increased demand for land capable of producing soybeans. Thus, Chinese farmers in the RFE compete for land with Russians. The Chinese also contri…
The “Belt and Road” in Russia: Evolution of Expert Discourse
Conceived in the fall of 2013, China's "Belt and Road" initiative in the following five years became one of the most discussed issues among Russian international relations experts. The discussions produced a plethora of academic, expert and op-ed articles designed to explain to society and the political elite what the "Belt and Road" initiative actually was and what we should do with it. Albeit differing methodologically, stylistically and ideolo…
