During the Soviet period the USSR conducted diplomatic relations
with incumbent regimes while simultaneously cultivating and
manipulating communist movements in those same countries. The
Chinese case offers a particularly interesting example of this dual
policy, for when the Chinese Communists came to power in 1949,
their discovery of the nature of Moscow's imperial designs on
Chinese territory sowed distrust between the two revolutionary
powers and paved the way to the Sino-Soviet split.
Drawing on newly available documents from archives in China,
Taiwan, Russia, and Japan, this study examines secret agreements
signed by Moscow and the Peking government in 1924 and confirmed by
a Soviet-Japanese convention in 1925. These agreements essentially
allowed the Bolsheviks to reclaim most of tsarist Russia's
concessions and privileges in China, including not only Imperial
properties but also Outer Mongolia, the Chinese Eastern Railway,
the Boxer Indemnity, and the right of extraterritoriality. Each of
these topics is analyzed in this volume, and translations of the
secret protocols themselves are included in a documentary appendix.
Additional chapters discuss Sino-Soviet diplomacy and the parallel
history of Soviet relations with the Chinese Communist Party as
well as the origins and purpose of the United Front policy.
