| Summary/Abstract |
The paper examines the position of the Republic China consulates in the Soviet Union in 1937-1938. During the Great Terror period. Chinese consulates found themselves in an ambiguous position. On the one hand, they represented a friendly state and were not closed down as many other foreign consulates were at the time. But on the other, NKVD charged many of their staff with working for the Japanese intelligence service, while the consulates' efforts to protect their nationals were viewed by the Soviet side as hostile.

| Summary/Abstract |
Stalin's Great Terror of 1937-1938 did not stop at the Soviet borders: under Moscow's explicit instructions, it extended to Asia, particularly to the People's Republic of Mongolia and to Xinjiang or Chinese Turkestan. More people proportionately suffered from the Terror in Mongolia than in the Soviet Union. Stalin's terror operations in the Asiatic lands were implicitly directed against Japan, the main competitor for influence in the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Great Terror was a defining moment of the Stalin era, indeed perhaps the defining moment of 20th century Russian history. The purge of the military is a striking subplot with the potential to unlock the mystery which still surrounds the Terror. Why did Stalin feel the need to decimate his general staff and officer corps on the eve of a world war at the same time as military spending was rising at a breakneck pace? Why destroy with one hand while building with the other? There is no adequate solution to this problem in the existing literature, and recent work does fully not take into account the great wealth of archival materials released in the last 20 years. This historiographical review will seek to evaluate the historiography of the military purge in showing how the literature has evolved, highlighting the diversity of approaches, where there is consensus, where unanswered questions remain, and how it is now possible to advance a more comprehensive explanation of the purge of the military.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article deals with the prehistory of the start of the mass Chinese operation in Moscow during the Great Terror of 1937-1938. Agroup of Chinese arrested in 1937 was accused of participating in a Trotskyist terrorist organization, but after the start of national operations, their cases were considered within the framework of the NKVD's Harbin operation.
