| Summary/Abstract |
The significant growth in China's economic power and geopolitical influence in recent years is justifiably attracting growing attention from experts and the world public. The profound progressive changes occurring in Russia's great Far Eastern neighbor for nearly three decades already are raising reasonable questions about the nature of its achievements and the price it has paid for them, the way it will choose to follow in the future, and prospects for relations between Russia and China. Answers to these questions have a reflective and academic value, and are of direct practical importance to Russia's international interests.

| Summary/Abstract |
The history of the Society of Russian-Chinese Friendship goes back to October 29, 1957, when the inaugural meeting of this society was held. For over half a century it has been playing an important role in the development of multilateral ties, mutual understanding and friendship between the peoples of the two neighboring countries. This article describes in detail the society's history and reviews its major activities in the name of the friendship of the two peoples, which were not interrupted even during the period of worsening the interstate relations. The society's contribution has been highly acclaimed by the leaders of both Russia and China.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article is devoted to studying the political-party component of the process of modernizing China. Primary attention is given to the continuity of the political process, its historical roots, and the particulars of development over the 60 years of the PRC's existence. A comparative analysis of the work of the CPC and CPSU in a number of areas reveals the lost opportunities of the latter, which showed no desire to adapt to changing conditions.

| Summary/Abstract |
This essay offers a series of personal reflections about a number of factors that affect the field of contemporary China studies in the United States from the 1950s through the early 21st century.1 Two caveats are in order, however. First, perhaps because the author is a political scientist, the summary will be slightly skewed in favor of this discipline rather than economics, sociology, or the humanities - nonetheless I hope to capture the broad trends in the scholarly study of contemporary China since the People's Republic of China was established in 1949. Second, the field of China-watching in the United States today extends far beyond the academic scholarly community; it involves the U.S. Government, banks and corporations, law firms, and a wide range of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Thus, the following summary only pertains to principal trends evident in one sector - the scholarly sector - of a much larger Sinological community today.

| Summary/Abstract |
The timely assistance of the U.S.S.R. and Soviet specialists who worked practically in all fields of the PRC economy during the 1950s helped China make a great leap forward in modernization. In the conditions of the postwar rain and international isolation, the country was able to create a system of managing its economy, lay the foundations of modern industry and train skilled national personnel.

| Summary/Abstract |
This year, Russia and China are marking 60 years of diplomatic relations between them.
On the next day following the formation of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, the U.S.S.R. established diplomatic relations with the newly born republic, the first country to do so and to lay the foundations for international recognition of new China. October 2, 1949, has since been rated as the date of the establishment of the official diplomatic relations by the two states. These two dates are closely tied up together as symbols of historical landmarks that have had a significant influence on the destinies of the two nations and on what the world is today.
From their origins in the early 17th century, Russian-Chinese relations have gone a long way from early beginnings to their modern state. We can be certain, however, that the close friendly relations that arose in the mid-20th century gave the two nations an opportunity to join efforts in resisting aggression and launch large-scale social and economic projects.
Wide-scale cooperation between the two countries was set off by a Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and Mutual Assistance signed by the two countries in Moscow on February 14, 1950. In the decade that followed, bilateral cooperation was formalized in a series of important agreements, including agreements about this country's assistance in the construction and modernization of 156 major industrial enterprises in China; transfer of the U.S.S.R.'s share in joint companies; withdrawal of Soviet troops from Port Arthur and transfer of their base's entire infrastructure and weapons to China; training of Chinese citizens at Soviet higher educational institutions; assistance to China in nuclear physics research and use of nuclear energy for the country's economic needs, in developing several key industries, and in geological exploration; cooperation in culture, and much more. The U.S.S.R. also gave China enormous help in building up its armed forces.

| Summary/Abstract |
Russia and China mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between them, which have traversed a tortuous path during these decades - from allied closeness based on ideological identity and bloc solidarity, then hostility and even brinkmanship on the verge of military action to strategic partnership and interaction within the framework of the relations of a new type.
Our present relations - the best in their entire history - are based on common interests, common concerns and mutual support on principal problems. But they do not envisage the formation of a military-political alliance, are not aimed against third countries and represent a viable structure. Its formation was of a stage-by-stage character. In 1992 the two sides confirmed the need to regard themselves as friendly countries. In 1994 it was decided to establish the relations of constructive partnership, and in 1996 - equal trust-based relations of partnership aimed at strategic interaction in the 21st century. In 2001 the basic political Treaty was signed - On Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation, which sealed the relations of strategic partnership and interaction.
Such character of relations between the two biggest neighboring countries seems quite natural today, but at that time it was actually a notable event in politics which became a subject of close attention and analysis by many authoritative researchers. I'd like to express some of my own views emphasizing the sixty-year experience and lessons of our relations with the PRC.

| Summary/Abstract |
The six decades of China's socioeconomic development can be broken into two periods of equal length - 1949 to 1978, when a planned economy developed under the control of administrative authorities, and 1978 to 2008, when economic reforms were launched and carried on. It was clear toward the end of the 1970s that the planned economy could not resolve the key socioeconomic issues facing the society. The Chinese leaders initiated reforms to effect a gradual transition to a free-market economy. As a result of these reforms, China today is among the world's leading nations in the size of GDP and is successfully engaged in building a "minor prosperity" society (xiaokang).
