| Summary/Abstract |
In the past fifteen years or so the history of ethnic deportations in the USSR has been an object of active studies. However, among many publications one can hardly find a special work devoted to the eviction of Chinese nationals from the Soviet Far East in 1938. The main reason for this is the difficulty to find the necessary sources. At present, there is a limited amount of declassified material, including the "special records" of the sessions of the Politburo of the CC AUCP(B),1 several orders of the NKVD of the USSR2 and individual documents in the archives of the Far East. They contain several directives of the central bodies of power and fragmentary information from certain places, but, unfortunately, there are no detailed accounts of the deportation as such and its results.
