| Summary/Abstract |
This article deals with cooperation between the U.S.S.R. and China in the field of railroad transportation in the 1950s-1960s using the example of freight traffic via Grodekovo station, Khabarovsk Territory, and Zabaikalsk station, Chita Region. The role of Far Eastern and Trans-Baikal Railroads in the U.S.S.R.-China transportation corridor is shown. The author uses statistical data from the State Archives of Khabarovsk and Primorye Territories to confirm the conclusions made earlier by researchers concerning the Soviet-Chinese transportation system in Transbaikalia. Both sides of the transit by rail freightage (U.S.S.R. and PRC) needed raw materials and mutually complemented each other. The author notes the work of international supervisory bodies - meetings of representatives of railroads and foreign trade organizations of socialist countries of Southeast Asia - to coordinate the plans of export-import cargo transportation.
